Colleagues,
I have recently retired from higher education and have settled in South
Carolina. I have attached a list of books that have been removed from our
storage area along with the description of several workshops that I have
been
presenting. If you or your institution would like to have copies of a
book(s) I
would be happy to send them for the cost of shipping. (Please send your
snail mail
address.) This offer is for the continental U.S.A. only. The books will be
distributed on a first-come basis.
Likewise, if your institution would care to have the professional
development workshop(s) I would be happy to be the thought-leader for
travel
expenses.
Most sincerely yours,
Bob Cornesky

WORKSHOPS
Curriculum Construction and Analyses by Quality Function Deployment (or How
to Implement a Curriculum/Program that Meets the Needs of Your
Stakeholders)
Workshop Description: This workshop is for designed for faculty and
administrators of educational institutions who desire either to construct a
new
curriculum and/or academic program to meet the needs of their customers, or
to
analyze the effectiveness of their present curriculums and/or academic
programs.
Quality Function Deployment (QFD), a continuous quality improvement (CQI)
tool, is described and utilized. After completing this workshop the
participants will be able to utilize the QFD Tool and Technique to
determine:
* The perceived importance of each competency for success in the
workplace,
* The perceived level of mastery that should be required for each
competency,
* The effectiveness of how each course addresses not only its
assigned
terminal competencies, but the other competencies throughout the curriculum
as well,
* The relative importance of each course to the entire curriculum,
and,
* The number of intense learning experiences available for the
students to master each competency at the designated mastery level.
Collaborative Techniques for Teaching Adult Learners
Workshop Description: Many colleges and universities have started adult and
graduate studies programs that are run during the evening and weekends. It
is
not unusual for such programs to be offered at sites far away from the main
campus and for most of the courses to be taught by adjunct instructors that
have little or no teaching experience, especially with adult learners. This
workshop is a comprehensive professional development activity primarily for
adjunct instructors who teach in such programs. It addresses strategies for
establishing a collaborative, learner-centered environment where students
are
actively involved in study groups and self-assessment. The workshop
includes: 1)
classroom quality improvement tools for the real world, 2) feedback forms
for students and instructor, 3) examples of course syllabi with lesson
plans,
and many training activities to keep the students actively involved.
