Contact Before Work

What Is It?Contact before work is the
transition from the activities associated with
getting to class to starting the actual class
work for the day
What Do You Do?Typically you quietly discuss
with your colleagues what was on your mind as you
came to class or was of particular interest to
you that you want to share

MEEG 101 Environment

The Learning Environment
active ( as opposed to passive )
team-based
workshop facilitators ( not lecturers )
requires everyone (including the instructors) to
change

29
In The Classroom

Active learning, teams, continuous improvement,
and constructivist problems are used thus, you
can expect
to participate in small group discussions and
make presentations to the class
to be team leader, member, and recorder
to help other students learn
to make suggestions for improvement
that some classroom instructions may be unclear

30
Focus on Facilitator Signal

The facilitator needs your attention
Raise your hands to inform your neighbors
Finish your sentence
Do NOT finish your paragraph
Turn toward the Facilitator

31
Change

Every aspect of this class requires a change in
the way you think and react!
Change affects everyone differently
Students who actively participate in the
classroom activities will become productive
learners
These students will also develop the skills and
abilities that employers are looking for in
todays changing workplace

32
Professional Behavior

Academic Integrity Issues
referring to materials or employing devices not
authorized by the instructors
depending on the aid of others to the extent that
the work is not your own
providing inappropriate aid to another person
plagiarism
allowing someone to plagiarize your own work
See UD Code of Conduct

33
Professional Behavior

Engineers are expected to effectively communicate
their ideas
Offensive or inappropriate language (written and
oral) does not effectively communicate the
desired ideas to the audience
Inappropriate language not only includes words
that are biased or slanted (racially, sexually,
ethnically....) but can also include informal
(slang) words
Work that is full of grammatical or spelling
errors also does not effectively communicate ideas

34
Professional Behavior

In this course, you are expected to conduct
yourselves in a manner that is considered
professional and ethical, which includes
written communications (assignments)
oral communications (presentations, conversations
with peers, instructors, TAs)
electronic communications (forums, email)

35
Professional Behavior

In MEEG 101 you are expected to
come to each class
be on time for each class
work on class assignments (not work for other
classes)
stay awake
avoid disruptive side conversations
Some amount of inappropriate behavior is
tolerated, but repeated occurrences will result
in a reduction of your grade

Course Grading

Earn Letter Grade in each Session
Lab, Concepts, Modeling
Average of 3 for Course Grade
EXCEPT, Final Course Grade can be no higher than
1 letter above lowest
So AABA, but AACB, and AADC

38
Session Grading/Assessment

You must first MEET Expectations before you
can EXCEED Expectations
The faculty is responsible for defining
expectations (i.e., what is required to MEET
customer expectations)
Students are responsible for determining what is
required to EXCEED customer expectations!
Work can be resubmitted ONCE to MEET (but NOT
EXCEED !! ) Expectations
