		<title>Mindset: Teaching students how to learn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just finished reading a phenomenal book, Mindset by Carol S. Dweck.  This book is a must-read for anyone who teaches at any level, or anyone who parents for that matter. Dweck argues that traditionally, people view one’s ability, whether IQ or artistic ability, as fixed.  Dweck calls this view the “fixed mindset.”   Until you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Response to Josh Kim</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last month, Josh Kim commented on a post of mine about the importance of course design and got me thinking.  I started to write a response but then got distracted.   The comment deserves a response so here goes.  Josh wrote: We can have the best course design methods, the most advanced platforms and tools – [...]]]></description>

		<title>An interesting message for students?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Registration for our first year students began this week, and with it,  my interest in enrolling students in the First Year Seminar I teach who really want to be there.  For an FSEM to reach its potential to be more than just another freshman class, the students need to buy in to the premise that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Think you teach without technology?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m trying to get my head around the notion of technology-focused versus non-technology-focused teaching.  I’m not sure this is a useful distinction.  I have heard faculty say, “Oh, I don’t teach with technology!”  Or, “You’re too focused on teaching with technology.”  What does ‘teaching with technology’ mean? If you use your institution’s course/learning management system, [...]]]></description>

		<title>A brief commercial message</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While this message may come across as self-serving, I&#8217;m posting this because I think it may help some colleagues at other schools. This past spring I heard from a number of users of my book Doing Economics that the current publisher CENGAGE Learning had let it go out of print.  (The book was originally published [...]]]></description>

		<title>Helping students excel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve found myself haunted by something Martha said to me not long ago.  It was one of those things that when I first heard it, I thought “Yes, that’s a nice idea.” But then the idea wouldn’t let go as its profundity grew in my perception. What if faculty stopped thinking of their job as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are we all adjuncts now?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The knock against adjuncts has always been that they are with the school but not of it—they teach their classes and meet their office hours, but they lack a broader commitment to the institution.  Having too many adjuncts is bad for the institution, because there aren’t enough full-time staff to do the other important work [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harnessing America&#8217;s Wasted Talent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning, Inside Higher Ed published an interview with Peter P. Smith to discuss his new book.   I began reading the article  in a pro-forma way since the &#8220;middle third&#8221; isn&#8217;t a strong interest of mine.  But I found possible gold near the end of the interview where Smith mentioned something that I&#8217;d heard before [...]]]></description>

		<title>Teaching Remotely with Skype</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day I was unable to attend my senior seminar.  I was prepared to let the class go on without me—we had planned a discussion that the students were well prepared to carry out (four students each gave a short presentation which spurred a somewhat longer discussion prior to moving on to the next [...]]]></description>

		<title>More on the value-added of teachers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some time I&#8217;ve been musing about the role of the faculty member in the university of the 21st century.  In a world of open content, what is the value-added of the teacher?  A couple of my musings are here and here. For readers interested in this topic, I&#8217;d like to call your attention to [...]]]></description>
