Fffectiveness as Scholar.
interest by attending two workshops otr artificial intelligence.
He plans 10 continue
to_ push forward to develop expertise in this area. Heavy involvement in creating,
administeiing and teaching the new summer inetitute in coDputer science on top 6f
his regular chairman's dutieo limited the time and energy that he could devota to
scholarship.
I rate his scholarship perfotmance as fair.

colrmunity.
He chairs the important computer service committee and has contributed
