J plan to get my Master's, but a shoulder injury has forced me to those plans.” says Williams also worked at Alpena General Hospital and began relief” teaching at ACC in 1986. teaching style -Williams says, ”I began filling in when needed. I just. fell into teaching. After Carol (Hart) retired, I was offered the position.” Williams also feels she has now found her “niche”, and points out that ACC has made her feel very welcome and at home. Williams credits her husband with her success, "My supportive husband really helped me through the craziness of getting settled and adjusted.” Williams’ shoulder prohibits her from returning to hospital nursing, but she finds teaching a challenge. She says, "I'm developing my own teaching style. I had some wonderful teachers when I attended ACC, so I hope to model my strategy after the strong points that helped me learn. I guess the LPN board tests will tell how effectively Ive taught the course.” i 3 Williams models teaching style after strong points of teachers in her past. Garlitz gives students the total picture by Frank Krist Ever wish your textbook had more and better pictures? Or that you could see the places and things your instructor is talking about so you could better understand them? Tm sure you have and you do not iichigan State Russ Garlitz’s Botany and Biology classes at ACC, with the use of ~ 17,000 slides, give you a picture of what he and the text are talking about. Garlitz is a veteran botanist. His specialty is the classification of Tare grasses. He has three publications on this subject and several more in the He is also worl out Dr. Edward G. Voss at the University of Michigan on the Michigan Floral Project categorizing ae in the state. So ee . eties have been memyp all started 28 years ago whe Garlitz first started teaching. After lecturing from: the chalkboard: for two years he felt his instruction was ineffective. Garlitz thought if he used slides instead of the chalkboard to communicate his ideas and the text, that the students would better understand them. Garlitz feels this style of lecturing has been successful in better educating his students. He also mentioned that many instructors at Michigan State and U of M slides into their Tams, charts, etc. out of the es text, with slides of the actual thing.) Photocopy slides put the text right in front of the students and then it can be associated with the real thing. For example, Garlitz will show a slide of a diagram of moss from the text book. After discussing its labeled anatomy he will show several slides of actual moss in its surrounding habitats. This way the student: is not left wondering what real moss is like because of lack of data supplied by the book. The slides also enable Garlitz to spend more time explaining his subject material, time normally spent on drawing and writing on the board. There are setbacks for the instructor. It takes a great deal of time and money to take all the slides necessary, but Garlitz says he enjoyed taking most of them. Also-a great deal of time is needed to prepare and load nearly 80 slides for each lecture. But Garlitz feels it is worth it because his | students will get more out of the class. Garlitz says he will probably give most of his slides to his daughter who also plans to be a biology instructor. Dean's List Collyn A. Collins 2 Crist Ann Marie DeRosia Becky L.. Dragiewicz Jenny S.
