Below is a brief announcement/reminder about the AMATYC-endorsed College
Short Course (CSC) Program here at Ohio State. We still have grant money
left for the remainder of 1999. Would love to use it!

=====================================
The Ohio State University Technology College Short Course Program Academic
Year & Summer Short Courses for Colleges & Universities in the United States
The College Short Course (CSC) Program (college part of the Teachers
Teaching with Technology Program) was founded by Professors Bert Waits and
Frank Demana from The Ohio State University. Courses are designed to
enhance the teaching and learning of mathematics and science using
hand-held technology (calculators and data collection devices). Over 250
courses have been taught in 30 states at 159 colleges to over 6,000 college
teachers. You may select to host and organize professional development
courses from 1 to 5-days at your college or university. The CSC Program
offers a variety of hand-held, technology-based short courses from
developmental math through calculus, math teacher-educator, programming,
and beginning-level science courses. Available at this time are the courses
ARITH, DEV, BUSMATH, ALGT, PCALC-CALC, CAS-CALC I, CAS-CALC II, STATS,
MTE-E, MTE-M, MTE--H, GEOMATH, PROG, M2S, and SCIENCE. Customized
combinations of these are also available. For information about full course
descriptions, the short course prospectus, the CSC Program and the
mini-grant application form, see http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/shortcourse
(please wait a week for an updated page). The College Short Course Program
is endorsed by the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges
(AMATYC).
Academic year courses of 1, 1.5, 2, or 3 days are FREE to the host college.
The Ohio State University grant will pay the instructor honorarium and all
instructor expenses. The Ohio State Technology College Short Course Program
will also provide course materials. The Texas Instruments Workshop Loan
Program will loan the host college all necessary equipment. The host
college is responsible for local arrangements.
The expected deadline for summer mini-grant applications is 4 months in
advance of the course dates requested, and for academic year courses it is
6 weeks before the course dates requested.
A primary difference between academic year and summer courses is the
intended audience. Summer courses have typically drawn a variety of
participants from several states and many colleges and universities as well
as selected high school faculty. The intent of the academic year courses is
to provide professional development for mathematics and science faculty at
a particular college or small group of colleges. We expect graduate
students, fourth-year undergraduate students, and high school teachers may
participate as well.
