Gary and Dian led a discussion of the purpose and strategies of LANGURE. Everyone expressed satisfaction with their module assignments.
Lourdes volunteered to lead a new team to develop a module on plagiarism designed for non-native English speakers. Caroline Blanchard and Lourdes will work together to develop this module, with Gary's help. Several other fellows may be recruited across the LANGURE campuses.
Paul announced that his undergraduate class, MICR 314, "Research Ethics," will be offered at the graduate level for the first time during the spring 06 term as MICR 697.
We discussed the first offering of the course at Hawaii. Dian is tentatively planning to offer it in Spring 2007. Dian and Tom plan to meet with Paul to discuss the possibility of merging their courses into one.
Dian and Tom will also begin the process for putting the course into the books as a regular graduate course. Depending on the constraints of the course catalogue timing, the new course may be on the books by Fall 2007.
