UF Carpentries Club Spring 2023 Workshop: R for Reproducible Scientific Analysis - Feb. 2nd & 3rd
|
|
|
|
Please join us for the next UF Carpentries Club Spring 2023 Workshop: R for Reproducible Scientific Analysis on Thursday & Friday, February 2-3, 2023.
The goal of this workshop is to teach novice programmers to write modular code and best practices for using R for data analysis. R is commonly used in many scientific disciplines for statistical analysis and its array of third-party packages. We find that many scientists who come to Software Carpentry workshops use R and want to learn more. The emphasis of these materials is to give attendees a strong foundation in the fundamentals of R, and to teach best practices for scientific computing: breaking down analyses into modular units, task automation, and encapsulation.
R for Reproducible Scientific Analysis Workshop
February 2-3, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
In-Person in Room E252 CSE Bldg.
Fee: $40 Faculty/instructor/staff; $20 Student
Register. Registration required as seats are limited.

Teaching at the Bedside
Presented by Elisa Sottile
February 3, 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Online
For the last few decades, medical educators have increasingly felt the pressure of time as they are called upon to add to their list of duties as well as increase the number of patients they see in any variety of clinical setting. The very reason so many of us choose employ in an academic center was for the joy and stimulation of teaching. Now, factors have compelled many to place a lower priority on their teaching, instead needing to focus on those other factors that are directly tied to promotion or salary. While many institutions recognize the need to reprioritize their expectations of their faculty, much work is still needed. Physician burnout remains high, especially among clinical educators. However, faculty can utilize their time more effectively, diagnose their learners while diagnosing their patients and increase their own satisfaction. Bedside teaching allows just that. This session will provide planning and preparation tips for bedside teaching, and review efficient teaching tools that are especially useful for clinician educators to utilize at the bedside.
Internationalizing Your Curriculum with SDGs
Presented by Natalie Coers
February 6, 3:00pm – 4:00pm
Bryant Space Science Center
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a strong framework for internationalizing curriculum across disciplines. Join us to gain a basic understanding of the UN SDGs and learn about numerous resources available to help connect your course - introductory or discipline specific - to the SDGs. We will also share about the UF SDG Faculty Guide developed by an interdisciplinary group at UF.
Creating Connections With Students Online
Presented by Tiff Jenson
February 7, 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Online
Often online faculty struggle with getting acquainted with their students amongst limited face-to-face interactions, so how would you establish personal connections? This workshop discusses proven ways to creating meaningful interaction with the remote instructor. A few examples: include clever introductions of yourself, humanize your course, provide weekly overviews, personalize content, utilize cooperative learning, enable real-time communication, incentivize learning with rewards, and emphasize a bottom line. Join the conversation at #InclusiveTeaching
Comparing Physical and Virtual Laboratory Simulations
Presented by Diba Mani
February 9, 2:00pm - 3:00pm
Online
Are virtual lab simulations as effective in promoting student learning as physical labs? This workshop introduces the benefits and challenges associated with physical and virtual simulations by referencing peer-reviewed research. In doing so, the successful incorporation of a virtual simulation in an upper division STEM course will be shared with the intention of motivating other instructors to also integrate active learning strategies into their classrooms.
