| First Published 5/16/2012 | |
| Mon., May 21; Noon-1:00 PM – Mary Moody Northern Conference Room 1.102 Why Should Teachers Bother Writing Instructional Objectives? Why bother to write instructional objectives? Instructional (learning) objectives drive the course. Every decision you make about your teaching session should depend on the instructional objectives. They determine content and methods to be used to develop the course, the individual instructional units and the method of evaluation for the course and the student. Many accrediting bodies require instructional objectives because they let stakeholders know what teachers expect students to do to fulfill course requirements. Therefore, the skill of writing clear effective objectives is critical to all educators. By the end of this interactive workshop, participants will be able to:

| PRIM&R Webinar: Data Sharing in Genomics Research - Participant Attitudes | |
| First Published 5/14/2012 | |
| Thursday, May 24 12:00 - 1:30 p.m. Rebecca Sealy West 5.100 Register at https://my.utmb.edu/PStraining Overview: Data sharing is a tenet of research traditionally expressed through publication and the opportunity for others to review, critique, and attempt to reproduce scientific findings. Data sharing has also increasingly become standard practice as a means to promote resource sharing across the research community. For pre-existing studies, determining whether data sharing is consistent with the original consent remains a challenge. Many older consent forms do not explicitly address data sharing, and consequently, it can be challenging to know how to assess them. In addition, genomic science is advancing rapidly and the issues relevant to data sharing are evolving along with it. During this transitional time, there is great uncertainty about how to deal with genomics and genomic data. During this webinar, the following topics will be discussed:
