Make an Impact at NSCC – Become an Impact Player (L, A, D, S)
Seminar
We count on them. We know they will deliver. When it is tough, we turn to them. Impact players engage differently and make a tremendous positive impact on the work, their colleagues, and the organization. This spring, join us as we explore Liz Wiseman’s book, Impact Players: How to take the Lead, Play Bigger, and Multiply Your Impact. In this first session, we will learn about impact players, what makes impact players different, and how we can build impact player skills.

The Stats Behind our Stats Classes (L, E, D, S, ACUE)
Presentation
Math faculty were interested in learning more about the differences in student success and retention for 7-week versus traditional 15-week sections of Introductory Statistics. Hoping to find information that could lead to effective advising for 7-week classes and increase success of our students in all sections of this highly enrolled course, they collected the data and analyzed the results. They’ll share what they discovered as well as ideas they have about the different delivery methods that might help others developing 7-week classes and then open up for Q&A.
