SUMMARY:LINGO/LINDO Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Dr. John Chrispell will present a workshop on LINGO/LINDO.LINDO and LINGO are a comprehensive software tools designed by  Lindo Systems Inc. to help build and solve a wide variety of  optimization models efficiently. Free trial and student versions of the  software make it an ideal choice to start solving optimization models.  In this workshop we will take a hands on approach to learning some of  the basics of the Lindo and Lingo software by solving several example  problems.Due to the limited number of seats in STRGT 220,  please email Dr. Yu-Ju Kuo to confirm your participation by noon on Tuesday, October 9.

SUMMARY:Learning By Doing: The Benefits of Undergraduate Econometric Research at IUP
DESCRIPTION:This presentation reports on a student-focused comprehensive research project integrated in undergraduate introductory econometrics classes at IUP.  Since 2000, approximately 150 IUP undergraduate students have completed these research projects. The assignment requires each student to conduct empirical research on a topic of his/her choice, write a formal paper formatted like a scholarly journal article, and give an oral presentation of the findings to the class.  As a result of this project, students gain hands-on experience applying econometric techniques to real economic data and learn how to conduct independent research.  The multiple benefits of the assignment for the professional development of IUP students as they apply for jobs and graduate school admissions are discussed.

SUMMARY:Students Begin to View Mid-Term Grades, 8:00 a.m.
DESCRIPTION:To help undergraduate students monitor their academic performance, faculty members will provide a warning to students with unsatisfactory performance at midterm. Each semester, the Registrar will establish and announce the dates for the window within which midterm grades may be posted by faculty members and read by students and advisors. Faculty members will assign a midterm grade of "D" (danger or potential failure) of "F" (failure) by using the Univerity Records and Systems Assistant (URSA) at www.iup.edu/ursa. The midterm grade is an advisory grade and is not a permanent part of a student's academic history. It is not used to determine enrollment status, dismissal, or eligibllity for financial aid, housing, or athletics.

SUMMARY:Sigma Xi Lecture: The Maya Long Count Calendar and 2012
DESCRIPTION:The Maya Civilization was without a doubt the most developed of the pre-Columbian Americas. It flourished for centuries in southern México, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador. They are known for a fully developed written language, an intricate calendric system, beautiful art, and sophisticated architecture. They were one of only two civilizations in the world to develop and use the concept of zero.Much attention has been given to and many theories abound about Maya prophecies surrounding the end of the world in 2012. In this talk we will present some of the history, theory and current understanding of the Maya Long Count Calendar, the Maya number system, and Maya Cosmo vision. The Long Count is set to complete 13 Bak'tuns in December 2012. We will examine what the Maya may have really believed was to happen on this ominous date, as well as what all the hype about world destruction reveals about our own culture.
