Ethics and The Process of Publication Retraction
Teaching about ethics and the process of science using retracted publications
Abstract Excerpt:
"The use of primary literature in the undergraduate classroom has great potential for improving students’ understanding of the methods of science as well as specific topics required for a given course. However, it is important to teach students that the scientific literature is subject to change as new information accumulates. In this article, we discuss our experience using articles that have been “abandoned”..."

Evidence-based program changes
Use of evidence to inform us about graduate education?
A three article look at how evidence should support program changes:

Flipping the Classroom
Flipping the classroom!
The idea of flipped classrooms has been around for a few years now, but I don’t think we’ve read a paper yet that explicitly discusses the idea and does research to evaluate the effectiveness. The authors used this approach in a first-year pharmaceutics course.
Abstract Excerpt:
"Recent calls for educational reform highlight ongoing concerns about the ability of current curricula to equip
aspiring health care professionals with the skills for success. Whereas a wide range of proposed solutions attempt to address apparent deficiencies in current educational models, a growing body of
literature consistently points to the need to rethink the traditional in-class, lecture based
course model. One such proposal is the flipped classroom, in..."

Does Instructor Type Matter?
Does instructor type matter?
The results of a survey of students, aimed to find out how students perceived the teaching qualities of professors and graduate teaching assistants. Some provocative adjectives are listed in the abstract. Professors: confident, organized, experienced, strict, hard, boring. TA's: engaging, relatable, relaxed, uncertain, hesitant, nervous. The paper concludes with some ideas for professional development for TA's.
Abstract Excerpt:
"Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) are used extensively as instructors in higher education, yet their
status and authority as teachers may be unclear to undergraduates, to administrators, and even to
the GTAs themselves. This study explored undergraduate perception of classroom instruction by
GTAs and professors to identify factors unique to each type of instructor versus the type of classes
they teach. Data collection was via an online survey composed of subscales from two validated
instruments, as well as one open-ended question asking students to compare the same class taught
by a professor versus a GTA. Quantitative and qualitative results indicated that some student instructional perceptions are specific to instructor type, and..."
