This workshop is the second of a three-part workshop series called Thriving in Graduate School, cosponsored by the Council of Graduate Students and the Graduate School Office of Well-Being. If you are not able to attend in person, we will make the recording of the session available to you.
One of the most difficult things about graduate school is having to sustain high levels of motivation for a very long time. If you are feeling your motivation fading and aren’t sure how to keep going, you are not alone! In this workshop, we will talk about specific strategies to build and/or recover sustainable motivational structures and practices in your life.
Registration required for in person participation. If the registration link is gone, either the workshop is full or the registration period has ended.
If you are not able to attend in person, you will be able to access a recording of the session here (allow approx. 7 days after session). Registration is for IN-PERSON attendance only.

RCR Workshop- Authorship, Plagiarism and Peer Review RCR Workshop- Authorship, Plagiarism and Peer Review

Tuesday, October 11, 2022 - 6:00pm to 7:30pm
Location:
Zoom
Authorship, Plagiarism and Peer Review (4195-ILT)
Publication of a scholarly work makes you an author - and that’s both exciting and a responsibility. This session will be dedicated to understanding the definitions and disagreements about what constitutes an author, how conflicts are resolved, how to avoid such conflicts, and where/to whom to go for help about authorship issues.
Plagiarism - stealing the work of another - is an increasing problem in the scholarly community. At MSU, this ranks as the #1 allegation of research misconduct. This session will also aim to help you understand what plagiarism is, how to test for it within your own work, how to discuss plagiarism, and where to go for advice on plagiarism.

The deadline for registering for a session is one week before the session. You will know if you have successfully registered for a workshop because you will receive an e-mail from train@ora.msu.edu.

GTA Virtual Lunch & Learn - Small Changes, BIG Difference Makers: Strategies That Inspire Faculty and Student Success GTA Virtual Lunch & Learn - Small Changes, BIG Difference Makers: Strategies That Inspire Faculty and Student Success

Google ‘student success’ and ‘faculty success’ and you’ll find that there are about two times as many ‘student success’ results as ‘faculty success’ results. To say student success is a hot topic and central to our work as educators is clear and evident. Some, however, would argue that higher education cannot increase student success without focusing on faculty success, including equitable, engaged, active learning strategies that are successful for students and instructors. In other words, we need to focus on instructor and student success together. During this session you will have an opportunity to learn about strategies, resources, tools [including those suggested by students and some created by instructors] that GTAs can easily, and with minimal time, integrate into their teaching practices.
Facilitated by Mary Beth Heeder, Sr. Consultant and Project Manager for Student Learning and Success; Instructor, Writing, Rhetoric, and American Cultures Department, College of Arts and Letters

The Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) at Michigan State University (MSU) was started with funding from the National Science Foundation. MSU AGEP supports recruitment, retention, and graduation of underrepresented U. S. minorities in doctoral programs of the natural and social sciences, mathematics, and engineering. The MSU AGEP Learning Community is an informal environment where students from varying disciplines can gather, share their research in a 10-minute presentation, or discover that their graduate toils are not unusual. Those in attendance are privy to information regarding fellowships, career opportunities, even summer internships, pertaining to the group.
