hi everybody, I wanted to get this note out earlier this week, since we've got something really cool scheduled for this week - Marielle is going to be talking about CPR Calibrated Peer Review! here is the blurb from their website:
 
http://cpr.molsci.ucla.edu/
Calibrated Peer Review (CPR)™ is a Web-based program that enables frequent writing assignments even in large classes with limited instructional resources. In fact, CPR can reduce the time an instructor now spends reading and assessing student writing. CPR offers instructors the choice of creating their own writing assignments or using the rapidly expanding assignment library. Although CPR stems from a science-based model, CPR has the exciting feature that it is discipline independent and level independent. CPR funding has been generously provided by the National Science Foundation and by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
 
you can read about CPR at their website, and Marielle will be able to fill us in on some actual experiences using this software here at OU.
 
some of you may know that she did a presentation about this for the CAS Teaching Symposium back in January - so this is a great chance for people (like me!) who missed it that time.
 
thank you for doing this, Marielle!
 
see you Thursday,
 
Laura
