Title:Enforcing the Aggie Code of Honor and Preventing Cheating
Abstract:It is university policy for all Aggies to abide by the Aggie Code of Honor. Not all Aggies, however, have followed this policy and have found themselves with an Aggie Honor Code violation. As instructors, how are we to handle Honor Code violations? What can we do to prevent cheating in our courses? What types of things should we be looking for when giving exams and other assignments? This seminar will help answer these questions and any others you might have regarding academic dishonesty.

Title:Math Assignments
Abstract:I will describe some assignments that require not only technical understanding, but also a creative spirit. I believe that such assignments allow the students to connect the mathematics that they learned to the subjects that they find most interesting. Some of them can also engage and develop student's visual, intuitive and analytic capabilities.
