Online Teaching and Learning Strategies
- Location: Online
- Contact: CITS Instructional Development
- Description: In this course, we will introduce you to current research and best practices for both online and blended teaching as well as showcase examples of successful teaching strategies for both methodologies. Throughout the course you will work both independently and collaboratively with your peers to gain valuable online course transition experience and develop strategies in online teaching and learning. As a participant, you will learn both pedagogical aspects of teaching online as well as how to use and incorporate many of the tools available in the myCourses Learning Management System used at UMD. The ultimate goal of the course is to have you begin planning, organizing and building the course you eventually plan to teach. In addition, this course will introduce you to tools that will teach you how to self-assess course site design to ensure student ease of access to course content and to facilitate more streamlined student learning and retention.

Joint PHY-EAS-MTH Seminar by Richard Price
- Location: Textiles Building 105
- Contact: Center for Scientific Computing and Visualization Research
- Description: Title: " Quasinormal Modes "
Abstract:
There is strong evidence that quasinormal modes, eigenmodes of non-self adjoint operators, are important in physical systems. There are equally strong arguments that quasinormal modes cannot have any real significance or useful mathematical characterization. Both sides of this question will be presented without bias.

An exhibition of Fine Arts faculty at the College of Visual and Performing Arts and their students, entitled "Igniting the Passion II" is being held at the UMass Dartmouth, CVPA Campus Gallery through December 8th. This show features work by all Fine Arts faculty alongside select works by their students in the media areas of Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, and Sculpture.
This exhibition is based on the idea that the best teachers are those who are deeply involved in pursuing a personal art form, subject, or medium. Students, in turn, grasp this passion and grow to become strong, inspired artists in their own right. This is one of the most rewarding experiences in academia.
The mission of the Department of Fine Arts is to maintain an environment where artists are committed to the pursuit of teaching, research, and creative work. This faculty of professional artists provides a high-quality studio education to students at the foundation, undergraduate, and graduate levels through formal, aesthetic, technical, and intellectual training. Faculty members prepare students to become creative artists, pursue graduate study, or engage in Fine Arts-related professions through the attainment of their BFA and MFA degrees.
The closing reception for the "Igniting the Passion II" exhibition will be held on Tuesday, December 8th, from 4 pm to 6 pm with artist talks at 5pm.

PhD Thesis Presentation and Defense by Menglong Yu (UMD-UML joint PhD Program), Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry
- Location: Claire T. Carney Library
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Contact: Chemistry & Biochemistry Department
- Description: TO: Faculty and Students
FROM: Dr. Sivappa Rasapalli
SUBJECT: CHM PhD Thesis Presentation (UMD-UML joint PhD Program)
BY: Menglong Yu
TOPIC: Design and development of facile synthetic access to medicinally important heterocyclic and macrocyclic compounds
DATE: November 17th, 2015
TIME: 1:30 PM
PLACE: UMD Library 240 (screened at Olney 518 UML campus)
ABSTRACT: One of the initial steps in the development of therapeutic agents is the identification of lead compounds that bind to the drug target of interest. Nature provides us with many complex natural products that possess interesting biomedicinal properties. Unfortunately, these sought-after materials are usually isolated in low quantities, making their development into useful medicines difficult. The overarching theme of this thesis work is to design and develop facile synthetic access to such biologically important complex heterocyclic and macrocyclic natural and unnatural products. Our synthetic studies towards saxitoxin and its analogues for neuro-medicinal applications, development of strategies for assembling oxacyclic ansamycins for identification of novel anti-biotic leads, and benzylidine heterocycles for photophormcological applications will be presented.
NOTE: All the CHM Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend. All interested parties are invited to attend. Light refreshments will be served.
