Club Officers Education and Training workshops
With the advent of the new online submissions the need to submit paperwork via snailmail no longer exists. Can anyone please clarify if the Training and Education workshops guide/programs for club officers given by TI reflect any of these new procedures. If not what are these differences in roles for the various club officers from the pre-online version?haven't seen any of the most current club officer training materials from TI, so I can't comment on what is in them. However, if someon...

Setting up a distance education program ?
I have been asked to write a proposal to establish distance learning at my University. I am a faculty member in multimedia and have expressed an interest in developing curricula but do not know anything about the technology and the costs involved. Can anyone help me? Is there a guide I could use so I know what we will need to purchase, have in place for telephone lines, video, etc.There was an organisation mentioned in this NG a few weeks ago - it was (I think called) realeducatio...

I wonder if it is part of the canteen culture and drivers exchange stories of their 'kills' over tea?
Hobson Street behind M&S and Woolworths is a favourite spot for this. The bus accelerates on the right hand side of the road towards the cyclist (not always me) forcing the cyclist to stop or get onto the pavement. This happened again to me this morning at 11am with a 77 Park and Ride bus. The road was empty with, unusually, no delivery vehicles. It seems as though it is some sort of game for some bus drivers to intimidate cyclists. I wonder if it is part of the canteen culture a...

what can i do for Supervisor Training ?
what can i do for Supervisor Training ? Here at Fogler Library, we have started a Support Staff Supervisors group, made up of non-librarians who supervise other staff and students. We meet monthly and are planning some training for ourselves and hope to eventually include training sessions for other staff as well.-For the past five years we have had a number of standing committees in the library. Our committees are a mix of professional and classified staff; everyone is on at least ...

Study Questions Value of an M.B.A.
I think one needs to differentiate the full-time Top 100 programs and the rest. Grads of the better known programs see a nice bump in salary and often are in better firms on a better career path. That said, it certainly is possible to do well in many business areas such as sales and marketing without and MBA. Let's face it, most jobs are 90% comon sense and effort with only a small amount of knowledge and skills required--at least skills that are easily taught such as leadership...

University Of Texas Law School, Texas Admissions encourage grade grubbing, exclude blacks/hispanics
The law's effect on the student body makeup at UT-Austin has been subtle. Overall, the proportion of top 10 percent students in the freshman class has edged up to 53 percent in the current first-year class, from 46 percent in 1997, just before the law took effect. After the initial, sharp drop in minority enrollment following the appeals court's decision, the 10 percent law has helped the numbers of African American and Hispanic freshmen recover approximately to their previous le...

Failing that does anyone have a source of model diesel fuel in Canda?
I am having problems locating a source of Cetane diesel fuel additive suitable for model diesel engine fuels. Can anyone point me to a source in Canada? I live in Kelowna, BC. Failing that does anyone have a source of model diesel fuel in Canda?Many years ago, following an article in Aeromodeller, I successfully ran diesel engines on a mixture of kerosene and modified rape seed oil with the addition of one or two percent Isopropyl Nitrate. If you wish, I'll dig out the relevant information...

MBA Rankings, and Exec MBA vs. Regular MBA
This time the questions, for those of you who care to stay on topic, are: 1. If a school's full-time MBA program has a certain rating, will that tend to reflect on the part-time program as well? For example, I am thinking of doing the U of MD program (The Smith School of Business), since the location is good for me, and as in-state student I can actually afford the tuition. The full-time program is rated 25 by Business Week, which is not great, but it's not bad, either. Bu...

Online Pre-Med/ Graduate medical school
check out www.medicalschoolonline.com they offer Pre-Med/ Graduate degrees for students who want to go to medical school. what do you think ?Interesting idea. Especially since a lot of pre-clinical medical education (in the hard sciences, anyway) requires a lot of self-motivated, independent studying outside of the classroom... But here's the kicker: "Since the ACMS has begun granting graduate degrees, we have been pursuing the standards necessary to be accredited by the U.S. Depart...

Can anyone recommend training for software analyst/ requirements gathering and documentation?
Can anyone recommend training - preferably online - for software analyst/ requirements gathering and documentation? A full blown university course is fine, as is more skills-focused training that is not a traditional college course.Perhaps your best bet would be the professional societies (ASM, ASQ, SQE, etc.). If they don't offer training directly they probably have links to people who do. I would start there. Most of the requirements tool vendors offer courses, consulting, and mentori...

Training Solutions - IT Training Show ? Training And Event Management ?
Training Solutions - IT Training Show ? Training And Event Management ? Is anyone on here going to the Training Solutions - IT training show at the NEC on the 4th to 6th of July?-I'm hoping to attend this year for the first time but I'm not sure which day. Previous years I have always managed to be training but I could be lucky this year. Is it worth going? Are there marketing opportunities for freelance trainers or does it tend to be more useful for finding out what the exhibitors ...

Online Math Resources
Can anyone direct me to some really useful K-12 online educational tools for teaching various subjects in Mathematics? I am most familar with the online schoolyard (http://www.onlineschoolyard.com) however, I was hoping there might be some additional sites I could check out. I am compiling a collection of useful linksThe "Mathematics Education Home Page" at http://www.latrobe.edu.au/www/mathed/index.htm MathsNet Resources page at http://www.anglia.co.uk/education/mathsnet/resource.htm...

Mpa Degree And Distance Education, Emergency Management Degrees
I am looking for information on Universities that offer Emergency Management Degrees by distance learning.Information on current and planned degree and certificate programs is available at: http://www.fema.gov/EMI/edu/. American College of Prehospital Medicine http://www.acpm.edu/ I posted this same question myself a couple of months ago. There are several schools listed on FEMA's website (http://www.fema.gov/EMI/edu). I personally choose the one at Jacksonville State Universi...

University Of Michigan Dental School
I have recently been accepted to both The University of Michigan and The University of Detroit/Mercy Dental Schools for the fall of 2000. I was looking for any advice on which to choose, as they both have their merits. Uof Michigan is older and located on the campus. Of course it has the reputation of UofM and it happens to be ~$10K/yr cheaper! UofD is private so they are more expensive. Their facility (clinic, sim-lab) was new in '97 and is awesome. The main difference...

Which are the best Dental schools???
Can anyone tell me which are the best Dental Schools in USA and in canada tooYou can't really put the name "best" on any given dental school. Each school has its strengths and weaknesses. Its like saying (I understand you're from Canada) which school is better, Waterloo or McGill. In the field of engineering, McGill is not fit to hold Waterloo's jock straps but if we shift to sciences, Waterloo is no match. One dental school may be strong in the research, another may be strong in...
