Canadian Plant Biotech Meeting, Kingston, ON June 2016

The focus of the workshop was on classroom management. I would like to thank our panelists for their participation in the workshop; Lacey amuels (UBC), Shelley Hepworth (Carelton), and Jake Stout (U of M).

We addressed how to handle classroom situations with various topics as prompts and each panelist giving their own experience and advice on how to handle various student situations. One topic which came up most frequently were the topic of exams and how to talk and act with students in regards to when they are writing exams, how you discuss exam results with students and how this is a very sensitive subject for a professor to deal with.

2013 Education workshop at the CSPB annual meeting

Madoka Gray-Mitsumune (Concordia U) Plagiarism: Let s shed some light on the dark subject.

Does it happen in your classroom? Do your students really know what constitutes plagiarism? Chances are that anywhere between 5 to 15 % of your students are submitting plagiarized works. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes unknowingly. How do you detect plagiarism? How do you deal with the large spectrum of not-straightforward cases of plagiarism? How do we teach students? What should the sanctions be? These questions will be addressed in the workshop. Your input is welcome!
