Early Career Time Management Potluck

Wednesday, January 13, 2021 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm
Online

As we gear up for Spring semester, let's make good on that New Year's Resolution with a great time management plan. During this "virtual potluck," each participant will share one idea for how they manage their time, or they'll bring a specific time management question to the group for brainstorming. Although the exact content of the session is impossible to predict (because it depends on the participants), past early-career discussions of this sort have focused on finding and structuring time for writing, managing grading, work-life balance, and more.

Maintaining Student Engagement Throughout the Whole Semester

Tuesday, January 12, 2021 - 10:00am to 11:30am
Online in Zoom

To be successful in a course, students need to be able to persist throughout an entire semester. Although it's tempting to think of persistence and resilience as student characteristics, the reality is that instructor choices play a huge role in whether students will be able to sustain their engagement for long periods of time. In this workshop, we'll discuss how we can design our courses in ways that prompt and support sustained student engagement. Registration Link

Please join us for a workshop focused on revising student assignments to increase student success.

Findings from a large scale study provide evidence that transparent assignments enhance student success-- especially for low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented college students (Winkelmas, Bernacki, Butler, Zochowski, Golnice & Harriss Weavil,, 2016).
