Reversing the Bricks: The Evolution of ETDs at UNT

This presentation discusses electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs). Beginning in fall 1999, UNT has required the submission of theses and dissertations in electronic format. As an early adopter of what was to become the electronic thesis and dissertation (ETD) movement in higher education, UNT encountered and overcame several challenges in the pursuit of providing greater public access to the scholarship conducted at the University. Dr. Terrell was there from the very beginning, and will share her unique perspective on how far the ETD movement has come, and what challenges remain.

Using Calibrated Peer Review to Facilitate Writing Assignments in Large Classes

This poster discusses a project using Calibrated Peer Review (CPR). CPR is a web-based instructional tool. CPR assignments require students to write an essay, evaluated three 'canned' calibration essays on the same topic, evaluate three of their peers' essays, and finally evaluate their own essay. The authors' goal was to determine whether the CPR process improves student learning of the essay content and whether the CPR process improves student writing.
