The Intersection between Professor Expectations and Student Interpretations o...Melanie Parlette-Stewart
Numerous studies exist on how and to what extent course instructors in higher education are embedding or directly teaching writing, learning and research skills in their courses (Cilliers, 2011; Crosthwaite et al., 2006; and Mager and Sproken-Smith, 2014). Yet, disparity within the literature demonstrates that there is no consistent approach to the scaffolded development of these necessary skills within courses, programs, disciplines, or across disciplines. Preliminary research has also revealed that professor communication of expected or required student skills is often limited or unclear (McGuinnes, 2006).
Through a collaborative research project at the University of Guelph, we employed a multidisciplinary and multi-skill approach to explore the intersection between professor articulation and student interpretation of academic skills. Through this research, we have identified that, in the teaching and learning in third year university courses, discrepancies exist
a. between the learning, writing and research skills professors expect students to possess and the skills students think they possess when they enter the course;
b. in professor articulation of skills they will teach in their course and which skills they expect students to develop outside of class time;
c. in the skills students seek to develop based on their interpretation of the course outline; and
d. in students’ ability to identify necessary skills before and after taking these courses.
Based on these findings, we recommend that a curriculum-based approach to understanding the skill development needs of students can assist in bridging the gap between professor expectations and student interpretations of skill requirements.
Throughout this research presentation, we will present an overview of our research project; present our key findings; offer initial interpretations on student understandings of course outlines; demonstrate the value of cross-unit and cross-departmental collaborations; and offer recommendations and potential areas for further research. After our presentation, we will welcome dialogue and questions.
The Intersection between Professor Expectations and Student Interpretations ...Melanie Parlette-Stewart
Presented at the 2016 Teaching and Learning Innovations (TLI) Conference at the University of Guelph on April 26, 2016
As academic support staff, we provide front-line support to students and witness, first-hand, the challenges in student skill development.
We have recognized that the skills students require for higher education not only cross disciplinary boundaries but also are applicable to their writing, learning and research. Through a collaborative, cross-unit research project funded by the University of Guelph's Scholarship of Teaching and Learning research grant, we have identified, in the teaching of and learning in third year university courses, a series of disconnects
a) between the learning, writing and information literacy skills professors expect students to possess and the skills students think they possess when they enter the course;
b) between professor expectations of student skill requirements and student interpretation of skill requirements from the course outline; and
c) between professor and student understandings of where students should develop these skills (i.e. in class or outside of class).
By conducting and disseminating research on the gap between professor communication of expectations and student interpretation of those expectations, we can contribute to graduate attribute research that thoroughly explores student skill development.
This gap has implications on assessment when students are evaluated on skill sets that are not explicitly stated on the course syllabi due to variations in syllabi design or a lack of understanding of where those skills should be taught (i.e. in class or outside of class time). Also, by conducting collaborative research across different units, we believe we can identify gaps in the service delivery of academic support staff, and can recommend and establish more opportunities for academic support staff to communicate with faculty regarding skill support, thereby encouraging collaborations across units that support teaching and learning.
Throughout this showcase, we will present a brief introduction to our research project and offer initial interpretations of our data. We will also demonstrate the implications of our research for those who support faculty in communicating and teaching required skill sets. After a brief presentation of the research project, participants will be invited to comment on or ask questions about our initial findings and proposed recommendations.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

20. REALLY, WHAT IS TWITTER?
Twitter is an online social networking tool in which users
post 140 character updates of what is going on in their lives
along with links to things they think are interesting, funny, or
useful to their followers (“following” being essentially what
“friending” is on other sites).
21. REALLY, WHAT IS TWITTER?
People use twitter in many ways:
• as a newsfeed by following prominent people or networks
• as a pseudo-chatroom by limiting their followers and
whom they follow to close friends and family
• as a microblog for updating people about the work they
are doing and their personal lives.
22. TWITTER TERMINOLOGY – FEED (TWEETS)
Feed: The stream of tweets you see on your homepage. It’s comprised
of updates from users you follow.
You can always access your feed by using the Home button on the
Twitter website.
23. TWITTER TERMINOLOGY - RETWEET
Retweet or RT – is when you want to forward or share a
tweet that someone else said with your followers.
• You can use the RT button
• Copy the tweet and paste in your message with RT in front of
it
• Include via @username
24. TWITTER TERMINOLOGY – MENTION (@)
A way to reference another user by his username in a tweet (e.g.
@qbattersby). Users are notified when @mentioned. It’s a way
to conduct discussions with other users in a public realm.
Semi private, must be following @sendinguser and
@receivinguser to view.
25. TWITTER TERMINOLOGY - #HASHTAGS
A way to denote a topic of conversation or participate in a larger
linked discussion (e.g. #AmericanIdol, #Obama). A hashtag is a
discovery tool that allows others to find your tweets, based on
topics. You can also click on a hashtag to see all the tweets that
mention it in real time — even from people you don’t follow
They contain no spaces or punctuation and begin with a #
symbol.
• Events like conferences or concerts will encourage attendees
to add a particular hash tag to their tweets to unite attendees.
(ie. #e3conestoga)
• Trending topics are typically created by using hash tags – for
instance a user might create a hashtag as a fun way to start a
conversation. (ie. #13thingsilove)

MelanieSometimes, the web can be very aptly named. Before you know it, you are caught in it, stuck on an endless treadmill of checking tweets, work email and personal email accounts, with multiple tabs open in your web browser as you try and keep up to date with the masses of content being generated.Faced with this barrage of content, questions and ideas generated by all this can easily get lost. It's a fact that digital can mean information overload – but it doesn't have to be like that. (The Guardian)According to a recent survey by SAS Canada 61% of respondents in the academic world reported feeling overwhelmed by information, up from 42% last year.A workplace productivity study by LexisNexis found that 62 percent of professionals report that they spend a lot of time sifting through irrelevant information to find what they need; 68 percent wish they could spend less time organizing information and more time using the information that comes their way, More than 40 percent of the survey participants indicate an inability to handle future increases in information flow,
