RE: Deadline to Change Grading Mode

Today, Friday, Sept. 29th is the final date to change the grading mode for courses that offer this option. The form (available at https://wesfiles.wesleyan.edu/departments/Reg/Forms/Public/PetitionForm.pdf) must be submitted to me by 4:30 pm so that we may make the 5:00 p.m. Registrar’s Office deadline. Please keep in mind that you can take a course CR/U and still count it toward your General Education expectations.

RE: Credit Analysis Report

Please review your Credit Analysis Report, available in your portfolio, which will help guide you toward completing degree requirements. Those requirements are:

(1) satisfaction of requirements for a major

(2) satisfactory completion of 32 course credits, no fewer than 16 of which must be earned at Wesleyan or in Wesleyan-sponsored programs

(3) a cumulative average of 74 percent or work of equivalent quality

(4) at least six semesters in residence at Wesleyan as full-time students for students entering in their first year (for students entering as sophomore transfers, at least five semesters in residence at Wesleyan as full-time students; for students who entered as midyear sophomores or junior transfers, at least four semesters in residence at Wesleyan as full-time students).

RE: Getting Help

This is the time of the semester when some students begin to recognize the need for additional assistance with course materials. Please consult your instructors (go to office hours and TA review sessions) and come to see me. My drop-in hours are posted outside of my office and Mrs. Maheu at tmaheu@wesleyan.edu will assist you with scheduling an individual appointment with me. You may signup for a peer tutor using this form: http://www.wesleyan.edu/studentaffairs/resources/peertutoring/Tutor_request_form.html

Harvard University: “Biological and Biomedical Sciences Graduate School Preparation and Career Options Advising Session”

by

WHEN: Saturday, 1 October 2016

WHERE:  Boger Hall, Rm 112

TIME: 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM

PRESENTED BY:David Van Vactor, PhD, Professor of Cell Biology, Harvard Medical School, Director, Curriculum Fellows Program;  Jason Heustis, PhD, Lecturer, Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, Harvard Medical School, Graduate Curriculum, Professional Development and Evaluation Specialist

 Members of the Harvard Medical School community will be visiting to connect with students interested in discussing graduate school applications, graduate training and professional development, and the expanding range of career options for PhDs.

For decades, science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education has followed very traditional models of training and career preparation.  These models are now undergoing change to better prepare graduates for a rapidly evolving career landscape.

 We will examine this landscape and open a dialogue with the audience to explore how students can effectively navigate portfolio development, graduate school applications and training.

 Please come and join the conversation!

A new section of DANC 111 has been made available:

DANC 111 Section 02
Tu, Th 8:40-10:10AM

This is an introduction to dance as an educational, technical, and creative discipline for students with no previous formal dance training. Classes will introduce the basic components of dance technique–stretching, strengthening, aligning the body, and developing coordination in the execution of rhythmic movement patterns. Through improvisation, composition, and performing, students will develop a solid framework applicable to all forms of dance.
