expectations of college and helping them fill in the gaps they did not realize existed. Our research will continue throughout the year, as we explore how students’ research confidence changes over the course of their first year. We encourage faculty to learn more by visiting Project Information Literacy, which examines the information literacy habits of college students. We also encourage faculty to meet with a librarian when developing research assignments. And we recommend using an instructional designer

Platform Support Policy The university recognizes that faculty have diverse needs for academic computing resources and wishes to provide centralized support whenever possible. This desire must be tempered with the recognition that university resources are limited, and not every request can be met. In its centralized computing support, the university has attempted to maximize its...

Such exceptions require approval of the Associate Provost of Information and Technology Services. For academic and instructional uses, the university equally supports Windows and Apple systems. (The chart below details that effective equivalence of support.) When the costs of alternate Windows and Apple hardware or software are equivalent, no

Bret Underwood is an Assistant Professor in Physics, currently teaching a two-course Mathematical Physics sequence.
the same time, he has become interested in the role of technology and the internet in distributing media and information to students. The fusion of these two interests has led him to completely change the structure of his Mathematical Physics courses to a more student-centered model. What is one instructional technique or project that is particularly effective, innovative, or engaging? “I want my students to become independent learners who are able to ‘think like a physicist’. To enable this, I

PLU Chemistry professor Dean Waldow hopes to one day become useless. After all, as an educator, his job is to empower students to work confidently and independently in a field that is constantly innovating. He does this by bringing students into his lab to help…
of all the hard work that goes into improving technologies such as batteries,” she says. “It was exciting to work on a project that could help to support the switch away from fossil fuels.” The work centers on polymers — large molecules made up of smaller molecules linked together like a chain — which make up everything from nylon and polyester clothing to Teflon pans. In the future, it may improve lithium-ion batteries.Currently, most lithium-ion batteries use an organic liquid (made of
