 3:45 COLLOQUIUM  - Room 459 MSC
      Waldemar Weber, Mathematics and Statistics, BGSU 
      "Finding Preferential Personality Types and Learning Styles in
       Mathematics"
      Abstract: Students learn mathematics about as many different
        ways as we teach it.  This colloquium presentation begins by
        reviewing how Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers made the
        personality theories of Carl Jung operationally accessible.  A
        logically equivalent but indirect algorithm is then proposed
        so that forced choices obtain more flexible formulations.  The
        resulting instrument, which remains under development, will be
        demonstrated by an interactive program.  I will try to finish
        by illustrating how instructors can use the student profiles
        that it produces to become more effective as they work with
        individual students.
