• Robs Big College Experience
• Higher education was a new experience for my
  family. My parents figured one school was the
  same as another, so I went to the State
  University.
• I went to the smallest high school in my rural
  Maryland County, grades 7-12, about 400 students.
• I attended all big schools,Univ. Maryland
  (40,000)North Carolina State (24,000)Univ. New
  Hampshire (8,500)Auburn University
  (16,000)University of Tennessee (18,000)

• Robs teaching challenge
• I like to go to the field to teach Soils
  Environmental Science courses.
• I like for students to take my classes, and I
  like for them to enjoy the classes. I like seeing
  students again.
• Most of my classes have limits, and they are
  often hit.
• ESC412, is limited by the number of souls that
  can be in a wilderness area (12).
• ESC110, went from 16 to 1007 students per quarter
  because I didnt impose limits.
• How do I teach a large class, and still make it
  as good as my smaller classes in terms of the
  student experience.
• Give me a good answer to that and Ill give you a
  job.

• Education at UW
• University academic work is challenging (hard).
  It requires lots of hard work. It is a wholly new
  experience that will be challenging but not
  beyond them if they invest the time.
• 2) Faculty (at least I do) on our campus care
  deeply about students and their success. We
  measure our success by your success.
• 3) Though it can be impersonal (if you let it),
  UW is resource-rich. You can do things here you
  could never do at a smaller college, and UW tends
  to get to become a much smaller place over time.
  You find your niche along with other students.

Site Last updated 30 August, 2002 The Real
World, Part I If You Cheat in College. . . From
The New York Times May 10, 2001 "U. of
Virginia Hit by Scandal Over Cheating" By DIANA
JEAN SCHEMO CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., May 9 - As
they have for 160 years, students at the
University of Virginia took their final exams
unsupervised today, despite a cheating scandal
that has shaken the campus. Under trees and on
benches, on a beautiful spring day, lone figures
scrawled their answers in blue books, with
teachers trusting that students would not peek
into textbooks, steal solutions from the Internet
or seek help from friends. But the University
of Virginia's code of student honor, a proud
tradition that relies on students signing pledges
not to cheat, steal or lie, is facing what may be
its most severe test. Some 122 students stand
accused of cheating on term papers in a popular
introductory physics class, with as many as half
of them expected to face the only penalty
available for cheating here expulsion or loss of
degrees awarded in earlier years.

  onesty.htmplagiarism
• Plagiarism
• One of the most common forms of cheating is
  plagiarism, using another's words or ideas
  without proper citation. Here are some common
  ways UW students plagiarize. This is often done
  by mistake, but is still not acceptable.
• Using another writer's words without proper
  citation. If you use another writer's words, you
  must place quotation marks around the quoted
  material and include a footnote or other
  indication of the source of the quotation.
• Using another writer's ideas without proper
  citation. When you use another author's ideas,
  you must indicate with footnotes or other means
  where this information can be found. Your
  instructors want to know which ideas and
  judgments are yours and which you arrived at by
  consulting other sources. Even if you arrived at
  the same judgment on your own, you need to
  acknowledge that the writer you consulted also
  came up with the idea.
• 3. Citing your source but reproducing the exact
  words of a printed source without quotation
  marks. This makes it appear that you have
  paraphrased rather than borrowed the author's
  exact words.
