PEER
TEACHING EVALUATION ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING
SVM Members of Peer Teaching Teams,
To facilitate the peer teaching
evaluation process, there will be an all-school Peer Teaching Evaluation
session on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, at 8:30-9:20 a.m. in 1136 for
organizational meetings of peer teaching evaluation teams for the Spring
semester. Most course schedules should be completed and classroom visits can
be scheduled.
Bagels, orange juice, and coffee
will be provided in 1136. I suggest that you meet your team in 1136 and get

team meetings.
The Teaching Evaluation Committee
encourages all teams to meet at this time to make a plan for the semester even
if every team member cannot be there. Make sure to bring your calendar along
with your teaching dates. Further information on the Peer Teaching Evaluation
process can be found at http://www.vet.purdue.edu/PeerTeachingEvaluation/.
Thank you for your participation in
the peer teaching evaluation process.

Course Coordinators (Drs. Adams, Messick, Salisbury, Bill)
DATE: 12/21/2007
SUBJECT: Tutor volunteers needed for Applications
& Integrations courses
We are organizing the
Applications & Integrations courses for the freshman (VM 530) and sophomore
class (VM 550) for the Spring Semester. We will need tutors (small group
facilitators) for the freshman course only. The freshman course (VM 530)
meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1:30 -3:20 pm. We have divided the
semester into three modules to make it easier for faculty to tutor (see sign up
sheet below for dates). Tutors may volunteer for 1, 2 or 3 modules. You
may split a module with another individual to share a tutor group if you cannot
tutor the entire module.
For the sophomore course,
we only need volunteers to be examiners for the final oral exams. This is a scripted exam and you are given specific
instructions on how to give the exams.
We appreciate your
willingness to serve as a tutor. Please complete the form below and return
it to Larry Adams no later than Friday, December 28, 2007. If you have
any questions or need more information, please contact any of us:
