In making your travel arrangements, please remember that the workshop starts at 7:00 PM on Sunday, June 15 (with an informal reception and dinner at 5:30 PM) and will end following dinner on Thursday, June 19. An optional visit to NSF will be on Friday, June 20.
To arrive in time for the start of the workshop, please do not schedule plane flights to arrive in Newport News any later than 6:00 PM, in Richmond later than 5:30 PM, or in Norfolk later than 5:00 PM (and earlier is better). On Friday, June 20, we will provide bus transportation to and from Washington, DC, for the NSF visit. Some participants fly out of Washington, DC, directly after the NSF meeting, rather than returning to their arrival airport. Please read about departure possibilities under logistics (opens in a new window). You are responsible for your travel to and from the workshop.
We will send arrival information to fellow participants so you may coordinate taxi or rental car rides with other participants if desired.
If you are not traveling by air, please let us know your arrival and departure dates.
Lodging: Participants and leaders will be housed at the Williamsburg Hospitality House, across the street from the College of William & Mary (see logistics page for details). Please indicate below if you have other arrangements for housing.
You will be sharing a room with two beds with another participant. Single rooms are available on a first come, first serve basis for an additional cost of $50 per day.
If you would like to share a room with another participant, both participants will need to email CuttingEdge@wm.edu. Your date of arrival and departure will need to be the same in order to accommodate your request. Please submit this request no later than May 9.
We will distribute a handout at the workshop that includes information about each participant’s teaching and research interests. We will import your responses directly into the handout (we will not edit any typing errors). Please follow the guidelines in the two questions below:
One evening, you will have the opportunity to meet with others teaching a similar course to talk about challenges and successes and to share ideas. Please indicate your top two choices from the lists below, or list them in the other box provided.
The workshop schedule includes several concurrent sessions. Please use the menus below to let us know your preferences for each of these sessions. You will be able to attend two sessions on each topic (teaching, research/scholarly activity, and connections/extensions/opportunities). We hope to have enough space for everyone to attend their top choice sessions; in order to manage that, we need to know how many participants are interested in each topic.
Teaching Strategies First Choice: Please choose one: Designing and Facilitating Effective Collaborative Learning Activities Engaging Students in Introductory Classes Large or Small Integrating Research and Authentic Data in Undergraduate Courses Keeping Seminar Courses Lively and Engaging Second Choice: Please choose one: Designing and Facilitating Effective Collaborative Learning Activities Engaging Students in Introductory Classes Large or Small Integrating Research and Authentic Data in Undergraduate Courses Keeping Seminar Courses Lively and Engaging Research/Scholarly Activity First Choice: Please choose one: Designing Independent Research Projects for Undergraduates Staying Current in Your Discipline: Reaching Out to the Community Setting up Your Lab and Obtaining Equipment Starting New Research Projects Second Choice: Please choose one: Designing Independent Research Projects for Undergraduates Staying Current in Your Discipline: Reaching Out to the Community Setting up Your Lab and Obtaining Equipment Starting New Research Projects Connections, Extensions, Opportunities
Most of the topics for the concurrent sessions on connections, extensions, and opportunities will only be offered one time, so there are different choices for the two time slots.
Please indicate your top choice for the first session on Connections, Extensions, and Opportunities: Please choose one: Getting Published: Strategies for Moving Forward Recruiting Successful Graduate Students Strategies for Retaining Poorly-Motivated Students and Helping Them Succeed Teaching Computer Skills Through Scaffolding Please indicate your top choice for the second session on Connections, Extensions, and Opportunities: Please choose one: Dealing with Large Classes Designing and Managing Online Courses Getting Published: Strategies for Moving Forward Responding Effectively to Student Writing
The workshop session Funding Your Research/Scholarly Activity will include two concurrent breakout sessions.
Participants who submit a one-page modified proposal summary by May 23 will receive specific feedback on their research idea and proposal summary, and will also discuss key aspects of successful proposals. Participants who do not submit a proposal summary will identify successful proposal attributes through review of selected parts of exemplary proposals. Both groups will participate in an introductory session describing the broader context of successfully funded projects.
If you are uncertain which group you wish to be in, read this page about submitting a proposal summary (opens in a new window). If you have an idea for a proposal, we encourage you to submit a proposal summary.
If you are going on the trip to NSF, we will ask you soon about which Program Officers you would be interested in meeting.
We will be happy to write a letter acknowledging your participation in this workshop to others in your institution. If you would like us to send such a letter, please provide the following contact information for up to two recipients. Both you and the second recipient will receive a copy of the letter. If you want to be the only one to receive a letter, put your name and address in the first recipient space.
