For the second year, CIC sponsored an exclusive opportunity for faculty members to participate in a training workshop to develop online tools and instructional methods that can help students enhance their skills of causal and statistical reasoning.
     The workshop was held August 18-20, in Pittsburgh. As part of a larger funded project led by Professor Richard Scheines of Carnegie Mellon University, all workshop expenses were covered and each participant received a $2,000 stipend. In return, participants are using and evaluating the tools and methods learned in the workshop. Sixty-five applications were received from CIC faculty members for the ten spaces available.
     Participants included faculty members from Allegheny College (PA), Bethel College (TN), Chaminade University (HI), Dominican University (IL), Duquesne University (PA), Marymount University (VA), Regis College (MA), Rocky Mountain College (MT), Ursinus College (PA), and Washington and Jefferson College (PA).
