Hansen: Writer's creative
announcement inspires event
Continued from page 1A
inspired the Oregon Humanities
Center to invite him to Eugene for
the first time in 2002. The event was
hugely successful, drawing a large
crowd and selling several copies of
the book. Two years later, as
Hansen prepared to publish “The
Bird Man and the Lap Dancer,” he
"sent me galleys and a note,” said
Julia Heydon, associate director of
OHC. In that, the idea for Wednes
day's reading was born.
The OHC co-sponsored the event
with the University Bookstore. After
the success of the previous reading,
the bookstore’s author event coordi
nator, Brian Juenemann, was eager
to have Hansen back.
Juenemann described Hansen’s
uniquely personal perspective as he
introduced the author: “The most im
pressive thing about Eric is not where
he's been but what he does when he
gets there.”

IN BRIEF
Student Senate allows
funds for new event
The Student Senate Wednesday
night unanimously granted $522 to
the Black Women of Achievement
to fund Higher Learning, a new
two-day event allowing minority
students from Eugene to experi
ence college life for a day.
The Senate also unanimously
approved a request by the Univer
sity Men’s Center for $150 to send
a team to participate in the Civil
War Relay on Nov. 21 to promote
men’s health issues.

Tutoring: Professors aim to engage students
Continued from page 1A
work through a troublesome prob
lem cannot be found in huge lecture
halls, she said.
Engaging students in big lecture
classes is exactly what Georgeanne
Cooper, director of the Teaching Ef
fectiveness Program, sets out to im
prove with University professors
and graduate teaching fellows.
“A lot of student-learning com
munities at the University and
around other colleges help students
have an input on their course mate
rial, and sometimes students and
professors work together on the syl
labus and decide what will be
taught that term,” Cooper said. “If
students and the professor are both
interested in the class material, stu
dents will learn far more than if
they are simply highlighting a
textbook or taking notes.”
The Teaching Effectiveness Pro
gram works with faculty members
two weeks before fall term on how
to coordinate lesson plans, respond
ing to student questions and other
faculty-student interaction.
“Typically in the University set
ting there is an attitude that a class
needs to transfer all possible infor
mation for a course in order to be
successful, which does not always
mean students are actually learning
that material or are engaged in that
information,” Cooper said. “So in
stead you see students sleeping in
class or text messaging.”
But Cooper said professors and
GTFs that engage their students in
the lesson get an overwhelming
amount of positive feedback. Facul
ty and TEP employees measure this
feedback by giving out mid-class
evaluations, but they are not
responsible for the University-man
dated course evaluations at the end
of every term, Cooper said.
Kaplan Test Prep on 720 E. 13th
Ave. gives University students help
with educational and career tests,
and graduate- or doctorate-level stu
dents are there to assist, Director Vic
toria Grantham said.
“There’s dynamic and interesting
students that work for Kaplan and
know the subject in-depth enough
to help out other students,” said
Grantham.
Grantham said University students
are especially adept at helping
prospective students improve their
college applications, get higher SAT
and ACT scores and write strong
application essays.
