8. Reduce student anxiety and frustration by clearly communicating your expectations of them in your course
Monday, February 16, 12:30pm to 2pm
As an educator you often read and hear that you need to include learning objectives in your course planning and communicate them to your students. But what are they? What do they achieve? How do I write them? Are they necessary? Learning objectives are the foundation of your course. Once they have been identified and written, the entire course will be written around them. They define the course structure, the readings, the textbooks, the commentary, the study questions, and the examinations or other assignments for credit. They help students understand the purposes of your course and related learning activities, as well as help them to select your course. Learning objectives enable students to judge the success of their course performance and provide you with a measureable tool to compare overall student performance from semester to semester.

9. A picture says a thousand words: Create and edit images to enhance your course content
Monday, February 16, 3pm to 4:30pm
This workshop is intended to be an introduction to Photoshop and GIMP, a free and open source image editing program which has been compared favorably to Photoshop. One of the most powerful features of both GIMP and Photoshop are layers, however, these can be the source of frustration for first time users of photo editing applications. In this workshop your will create an image with layers which can divide an image into its semantic elements. Once you have created an example it can easily be converted into an interactive image like the ones found here:
http://129.49.101.216/SIMPL/?online_examples
These examples can also be brought into Stony Brook's Blackboard Learning Management Software.

19. Managing your classroom: You're in control
Wednesday, February 25, 2:30pm to 4pm
This workshop is for faculty of all disciplines and would be particularly of interest to our new faculty members and our experienced faculty with questions as to how to manage this new generation of college students. While most of us are comfortable with the course content we are teaching, many of us do not feel we have been prepared to teach. We are experts in our discipline, but not with managing a college classroom. We’re not prepared to handle absenteeism, tardiness, cheating, and difficult students. How do we engage our students to participate in course activities and prepare them for the next level of learning? This workshop will help you set classroom expectations from the first day of class and establish a positive learning environment for your students.

22. Pranayam Meditation Workshop
The practice of Pranayam (rhythmic breathing) and Meditation are ancient techniques that are now universally popular to fight anger, depression and stress. Both have the capacity of freeing the mind from untruthfulness, ignorance and all other painful and unpleasant experiences of the body and mind. Hindu sages since time immemorial have also prescribed the chanting of certain mantras (verses) along with these yogic practices. Among them, the Gayatri Mantra (mother of knowledge) is considered the highest and most powerful mantras of all. The recitation of the Gayatri Mantra with devotion, along with Om and other mantras of the Vedas (ancient Hindu texts) bestows the boon of righteous wisdom and spiritual growth and development.
Tuesdays, 5:30-6:30PM Room 301 in the Wang Center
