Instructions to subchairs Program chair provides a Word document with the reviews. NOTICE: the ones with only 2 reviews, may be roundtable/poster sessions or preconferences. (You can also look at the check boxes and tell. ) A separate document has submission info. If a person wanted some equipment it puts a -1 in the box. From here on a '-1' means selected by the submitter. We have one member who is Sabbath observant. Another document has layout cards. To calculate the "scores" for each: The way I (and Bill) did it was to assign a 0 to a Reject, 3 to Accept with Reservations and 5 to Accept. Just added from the 3 reviews then used that to rank order/prioritize. I used layout cards to get visual idea of what was going on. I gave more priority for assigning desirable things (e.g., 90 minutes) to the higher scored. Separate the cards into your 60 and 90 minute sessions. Topics may vary each year. In 2002 they were 1= instructional tech, 2= TA, 3 = Experienced Faculty Developers Theyre in more detail on the Call for Proposals. Here are the limiting factors, more or less in order of how you have to consider them. 1. Do they say no, don't schedule me opposite an ed exped? 2. Do they want a 90 minute session 3. Do they have some other scheduling issue (e.g., 34 above) 4. Are they on another paper at the same time? 5. Equipment-- line up digital projectors in the same room, etc. TA proposals usually take about 2 rooms in each time slot. Keeping the rooms physically close to one another is nice for the group. Give the program chair some guidance on size of crowd so final room assignments can be made. Who needs to be in a big room because of audience draw? Who's repeating the same old same old. Small College usually scraps by with one room each time slot. I made some judgements about ones to fill in as Small College possibles.
