Dear colleagues,
How can we grade our students fairly when we assign group work? Please join us for lunch Friday, March 10(12:15-1:15 in C-102)to discuss the question. Robert Earhardt has agreed to share his tricks, and we'll bring the biscuits!
If you’re interested in anything digital, from deciding how to deal with students’ smartphones in the classroom to building a digital database for scholarship, digital specialist David Wrisley will have something to say about it. David will be on campus Thursday and Friday of next week (March 16-17). We’ll send out more information soon (also see the schedule below).
Speaking of the digital, here at AUP, we now have a Technology for Education Blog. Thanks Tomer, Russell, Lynn and Taylor for your contributions! https://aup.tech.blog/
