Finding ways to allow students to be honest about what they think, their experiences, and thoughts, as well as the challenges they face, is part of welcoming students to class as whole people.  In this conversation, Brian Kim of REES and Rand Quinn of GSE, will talk about how they support students in their first-year […]

Professors LoriAnn Winner of Nursing and Swapneel Sheth of Computer and Information Science will kick off the conversation by discussing their approaches to preparing students throughout the semester, review sessions that foster deeper understanding, and how they alleviate student stress and anxiety around exams.   

In this conversation, participants will explore strategies for collecting feedback from students that can be translated into better teaching and improved student learning. Professors Tobias Baumgart of Chemistry and Travis McGaha of Computer and Information Science will start the conversation by sharing their approaches to gathering feedback to refine their teaching. 

Writing allows students to clarify their own thinking and deepen their understanding of course material. To start the conversation, Professors Elly Truitt of History and Sociology of Science and Henry Towsner of Math will explain how and why they integrate writing into their classes to foster students’ intellectual growth.  

In courses where graphs, equations, and data displays are common teaching tools, accessibility can be particularly challenging. Join us to learn to convert LaTeX equations and become familiar with tools in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint that make these items more accessible to students wherever they are used in your course.

Are you looking for more efficient ways to provide feedback? Join this session to learn about some new and lesser known Canvas features and to discuss strategies with other instructors to help streamline the feedback process while providing quality feedback that students are more likely to read and apply.
