by Dana Bodewes, Instructional Designer The Northwest has experienced some beautiful weather lately and the effects of spring fever are soon to appear in the classroom. It can be difficult to focus on work when sunshine and warmer temperatures are beckoning us outside! Perhaps…
consistently report that they value learning experiences more when the learning is applied to real-world situations or scenarios relevant to their future professions. When possible, look for opportunities to use case studies, simulations, or role-playing to help ground theoretical ideas. Formative Assessments: Keep students on their toes and paying attention by integrating quick assessments of learning. Assessments can be implemented using clickers, online polls, or even Twitter to gather and report on

Ranked by Niche as the top Kinesiology department in Washington state and the Pacific Northwest, the Master of Science in Kinesiology at PLU brings a tradition of excellence into the graduate degree. The program combines a rigorous academic experience with real-world, relevant and impactful applications…
completed in as few as 14 months, or over the course of 26 months. Classes occur in the evenings and are a mix of traditional and hybrid in design.2. Theory to Practice FocusUses evidence based, best practices that critically evaluate, integrate and apply current, primary research and established theoretical concepts. Coursework focuses on building an evidence-based practice through rigorous coursework applied to real-world situations. All students complete an applied project as part of the program.3

Statistics provides a strong career path with excellent opportunities, and statisticians are in high demand.
applied and theoretical topics, and many will require students to become familiar with popular statistical software. For certain careers in statistics, a mathematics degree with a statistics minor may be sufficient. However, many statisticians choose to continue their studies at the masters or Ph.D. level, where topics become more specialized depending on the field of interest. Since statisticians work in a wide variety of fields, many students will begin to narrow their interests as they complete

of Physics at Pacific Lutheran University. My research interests are in the intersection of high energy physics and cosmology. From 2008-2011 I was a postdoctoral researcher in Theoretical High Energy Physics and Cosmology at McGill University. While there, I was a McGill Lorne Trottier and Institute of Particle Physics (IPP) Postdoctoral Fellow. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Physics at The Ohio State University in 2003, completing a senior research project entitled “Renormalization of the

The Conversation has expanded my understanding of third rail inquiry. First, this group values the story as a way of knowing. Each week we begin with a ten-minute personal anecdote.
“intersectionality,” not for its theoretical caché, but because that is how social categories are lived. Personal stories are juxtaposed with topical scholarly texts and presentations from activist experts on current conditions and events, sometimes in the South Sound, sometimes elsewhere. Stories, texts, reports, films, and images generate “talk-back,” questions, reformulations. A scholarly account might support or might question personal anecdote or activist testimony. Whether they converge, conflict, or

Bachelor of Social Work (BSW)Within a program that is firmly based in the liberal arts, the social work major is designed to prepare students for beginning professional social work practice as well as graduate study in social work. Social work has both a heavily multidisciplinary-based body of knowledge and its own continuously developing knowledge base. The complexity of social issues and social problems that confront the modern-day social worker require this broad theoretical perspective
