Enabling Students With Learning Disabilities/ADHD to Outperform In Your Class
Dr. Scott Thourson is presenting a teaching workshop open to faculty or people in charge of communication in COE, BME, MSE, MBI, (non-STEM just as important!). Please register and attend to learn more about working with these students!
Workshop title: Enabling Students With Learning Disabilities/ADHD to Outperform In Your Class
Date: Thursday, November 14th, 2:30-4:00pm
Location: 201 Bryant Space Science Center
Description: Individuals with learning disabilities (LD) and/or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) include some of the most talented thinkers in society. The opposite observation might be made when those individuals are undergraduate students in a classroom. In this workshop, participants will learn how their classroom environment might affect the performance of students gifted with LD/ADHD. As someone with ADHD, I will explain how LD/ADHD manifests in college and present examples from my own experience as a student and instructor. Activities: case studies, self-evaluations, and group discussions that revolve around teaching undergraduate students with LD/ADHD.

BMES 2019
The 2019 annual biomedical engineering society meeting was a great conference! We had a large group presenting NPRlab research.
What You Need Before You Proceed
Dr. Scott Thourson, an NPRlab post-doc, recently gave an amazing presentation to the graduate school entitled ‘What You Need Before You Proceed: Finding and Filling the Gaps in Your Academic Training.” He helped us identify deficits in our training and make a plan to proceed and succeed academically.
