<p>Process-oriented guided-inquiry learning (POGIL, rhymes with mogul) is one manifestation of the latter. In a POGIL classroom students work in learning teams on specially designed activities that promote mastery of discipline content and the development of skills in the processes of learning, thinking, problem solving, communication, teamwork, management, and assessment. The POGIL classroom environment is appropriate for faculty who want to engage students in learning and help students develop the skills they need to be successful in courses, college, and careers. In this environment, students take on greater responsibility for their education; they learn to rely on thinking skills rather than memorization; they improve performance skills while learning subject content; and they develop positive relationships with other students and faculty. This instructor’s guide documents the need to include such performance skills in our courses and describes the educational tools and processes used in a POGIL classroom. These tools and processes include learning teams, guided-inquiry activities, critical and analytical thinking, problem solving, reporting, metacognition, and individual responsibility. Strategies for the successful use of learning teams are discussed, the roles of the instructor in this learningenvironment are described, and implementation hints are provided along with examples of questions for student self-assessment of performance and reflection on learning. Assessment and evaluation results pointing to the success of this approach also are included.</p>

From A to Z, delve into Cape Cod's vernacular, so you too can speak like "an old salt". George Higgins is an eleventh generation Cape Codder or "Easthammer" who has researched and collected words peculiar to Cape Cod along with many indigenous expressions. To these, he has added his own unique comments to create this "salty dictionary". Sprinkled throughout How To Speak Like A Cape Codder are illustrations contributed by Gordon W. Brooks for a humorous look at life on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In the words of an "Old Salt" . . . Ayup: An affirmative reply, roughly the equivalent of "yes." It may even replace "I do" as a legal response in a marriage ceremony. It also conveys to trained ears, "I'm listening to you, but I may not agree with you." Down in Maine, "AYUP" becomes "AYUH." Canal: The only truly significant canal, it separates Cape Cod from what remains of the United States to the west. There are, to be sure, other canals, such as Panama, Suez, Erie, et cetera, but when prefaced by "The," it can apply to but one body of water - The Cape Cod Canal. It is crossed by a native Cape Codder going west only with the greatest reluctance and sacrifice. Such a trip seems designed for the purpose of the native's learning just how much The Cape means to him. This being the case, he drives over The Canal eastward with great relief. Cape Codder:1. A native (q.v.)2. A resident, which definition is unacceptable to number one3. An individual who lives on Cape Cod seasonally4. Any person who loves Cape Cod, after at least two visits and grasp the truth that all Americans are divided into two classes: those who are Cape Codders; and those who wish they were
