Sample Student-Faculty Web Projects

The Mountain Meadows Massacre

Funded by a $3,000 grant from the State of Utah Resources Web (SURWEB) Project, this website drew upon the photography and research skills of history major Robert Sidford.  Besides providing a virtual visit to the site of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, the website includes a brief historiography “tour” of reading sources.  At the SURWEB homepage, type in the keywords “Mountain Meadows” for “images” or “media show.”

 

Paul McCarty Project

As part of a service-learning project in History 2710, students designed this (incomplete) web site by incorporating oral history and photographs, researching and writing new material, and interviewing the subject, Paul McCarty.  Now a Cedar City resident in his nineties, Paul McCarty was the victim of McCarthy-era blacklisting and spent fifty years trying to “clear his name.”

Course Syllabi and Teaching Evaluations, Fall 2005

Below are paired syllabi and evaluations for courses taught in Fall 2005, along with a syllabus for my distance education WebCT course.  These classes include my first-ever offering of UNIV 1000, the Freshman Year Experience that is required of all new students (but not universally beloved).  My most recent peer evaluations came in Fall 2006.  My Department Chair wrote in October 2006:  “Prof. Mulderink received an average mean score of 4.6 for classes taught in 2005-06 which easily surpasses the score of 4.0 required in our Department’s LRT policy for post-tenure review, his next scheduled review.  His meritorious work on online instruction was recognized by his peers in 2006.”  Faculty colleagues on our department LRT committee assessed my teaching effectiveness on October 12, 2006:  “Dr Mulderink has done a commendable job in teaching upper and lower division courses.  His student evaluation scores are excellent.”
