As an instructor, you’ve set up a syllabus that clearly explains your expectations for where students will end up. Then you set them on the journey to that destination. However, some will get off track along the way. The information you provide, how you provide it and when you provide it will be key to getting them back on the right path or in keeping them on the right path.

In this workshop, provided by the E-Learning Office, instructors will learn strategies for the use of feedback and rubrics that they can use to accompany student assessments. This workshop will be offered on two separate dates. Thursday, November 9 from 1:00 to 2:00 pm; Robertson Library, Rm 265 or Thursday, November 30 10:00 to 11:00 am; Robertson Library, Room 265.
