Monday, January 26, 2009. Chapters 1 and 2 from talking about leaving. In chapters 1 and 2 of TAL there are many things that stuck out to me. The four greatest concerns for switching are 1. lack or loss of interest in science, 2. belief that a non-SME major holds more interest, or offers a better education 3. poor teaching by SME faculty 4. Feeling overwhelmed by the pace and load of curriculum demands. Some interesting points from chapter 2 are the following. Two quotes from a students on page 56. TAL a...

Karen High: January 2009
http://karenannhigh.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 25, 2009. Chapter 1 - Talking about leaving. Of course (as also stated in the book) there has been a decline in the number of students in STEM fields since the 1980's, but why still with the perceived (or real) need for more engineers? The other interesting statistic I latched on to was the drop in students in science and math teaching careers in 1966 from 22% to 9% in 1988. Wow. Thursday, January 15, 2009.

Karen High: February 2009
http://karenannhigh.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 9, 2009. Chapters 3 and 4. It was very interesting to read about "hardness" of the STEM majors. Interesting because quite honestly, as I create or teach a course I don't think "Jeez, I want to make this course difficult.". But, maybe this thinking is exactly the problem. We are so content heavy that we don't focus on the process. This is the focus of the 21st Century grant. Is this happening because we tell them so many concepts and formulas that that is what they are going to go for?
