Are there Biologists out there who might be interested in teaching
Problem Solving and Critical Thinking?  Please forward to other
lists if you think there is an interest.  I am a physicist who
has been watching your list for a while because I have a
colleague who is a bee-keeper and I am forwarding printouts to him.

Proposals for three types of presentation are requested:
 
1.  20-minute discussions/demonstrations of classroom innovations,
    faculty development activities, and results of educational
    research.  Use of instructional technology is strongly
    encouraged in these sessions.  Requests should be made for
    special hardware/software requirements!
 
2.  90-minute implementation-oriented workshops.  These are
    intended to be hands-on sessions for 10-15 conferees to explore
    curriculum materials and novel delivery techniques.  Up to six
    computer labs will be available for workshops.
 
3.  Directed discussions/brainstorming sessions centered on
    specific problems in higher education.  Presenters will open
    the session by reviewing the problem and will facilitate
    discussion.
 
GUIDELINES:  Submit a 75-word abstract (preferably in Word Perfect
on magnetic disk) suitable for the conference program booklet by
January 3, 1992.  Indicate the type of presentation.
Acknowledgement will be given by February 22, 1992.  Final papers
must be submitted by May 1, 1992.  Presenters will be expected to
prepare a poster to be displayed in the "Hall of Innovations."
Poster material will be supplied.
