1. History Lecture Series to be Broadcast on CBC Radio I
2. Banner - Improvement to Class Lists on the Faculty Menu
3. Centre for University Teaching and Learning (CUTL) Public Lecture

This spring’s History/History education lecture series, which was organized by our former colleague Dr. Ruth Sandwell, will be coming to national, and perhaps international, attention with its broadcast on CBC Radio I’s “IDEAS” series beginning Friday evening.  This will be an excellent opportunity to catch any of the lectures that you missed, or to hear again the speakers that particularly interested you.  The series was co-sponsored by the Department of Integrated Studies in Education, the History Department, the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada, and the Faculty of Education International Office.  Broadcast details follow.

----------

A public lecture series recorded earlier this year at McGill University's Faculty of Education, "Public Memory, Citizenship and History Education" will be aired on the CBC Radio I Program "Ideas" on Friday nights at 9 PM (9.30 in Newfoundland) starting September 6, 2002.

This series of five lectures explores the ways that we, as a culture and society, use history to help us define who we are, who we are not, and where we want to go. The speakers pay particular attention to the role that the publicly funded education system plays in this process, but they also look at some of the other ways that we try know who we are by understanding where we have come from.

IDEAS: 9 pm Fridays, CBC Radio I

September 6: Desmond Morton, "Canadian History: What¹s the Big Deal?"

September 13: Peter Seixas, "What Is Historical Consciousness?"

Instructors can see class lists for all sections of their course. A new feature of Class Lists on the Faculty Menu of Minerva was implemented late yesterday, in response to a very high demand from staff.

Instructors who are assigned as an instructor on a course lecture, are now able, from the Faculty Menu, to view or print class lists for any section of that course (including other lectures, labs, and tutorials in that course even though they may not be assigned to them in Banner).  Previously, they were only able to view or print class lists for sections to which they were assigned as an instructor in Banner. Please note that this only applies to instructors for lecture sections. If an individual is added as an "instructor" to a lab or a tutorial, there is no change:  they will only be able to view the class list for that particular lab or tutorial.

In addition, you will see that the Schedule Type (Lecture, Lab, Tutorial,etc.), Building and Room number have been added to the listing to make it more useful to users. (This also applies to class lists printed from the Student Records Administration menu)
