[tips] Are You REDI?

2014-12-30 Thread Michael Britt 
Just finished reading “Make It Stick - the Science of Successful Learning” 
(http://www.amazon.com/Make-Stick-Science-Successful-Learning/dp/0674729013/ref=sr_1_1?
 
http://www.amazon.com/Make-Stick-Science-Successful-Learning/dp/0674729013/ref=sr_1_1?).
  Good summary of the latest research (though, as one Amazon reviewer pointed 
out, a lot of the content can be found here:

http://tguilfoyle.cmswiki.wikispaces.net/file/view/What_works,_What_doesn't.pdf).

As usual I decided to put the key ideas of the book into a concept map and come 
up with my own acronym: REDI (SQ3R is so last century” - might as well make up 
a new acronym just for the heck of it).  REDI stands for Retrieval practice, 
Elaboration, Distributed practice and Interleaving.  Here’s the map:

Obviously preparing for the upcoming semester.  Thoughts?

Subject: Help finding Boston area grad student or adjunct

Hello all,

I'm in a bit of a bind having trouble to find someone to teach an experimental 
design/research methods course for the spring in the greater Boston area 
(Newton).

I'm hoping someone might know of a talented graduate student, adjunct 
professor, or a working professional with research expertise who might be 
interested.  It's a perfect position for a grad student looking to build their 
teaching portfolio because we offer a lot of support and training through our 
Teaching and Learning Center.

The class times are set and can't be changed though.  They are Tuesday/Thursday 
11-12:15 with a lab component that can be done either day right after the class 
or even split among the two days (the students all have 12:15-2 on both days 
available and the lab space is available as well).

Please pass this along to anyone you know who might be interested or who might 
know someone who would like to apply.

Thank you for your help!

Chair, Department of Social Sciences
