the Center for Integrative Studies in the Arts and Humanities invites you to attend a workshop on Alternate Grading April 21st, from 10 to 11:30 am via Zoom.

We are honored to welcome Prof. Nicole Coleman of Wayne State University to run the workshop. If you are interested in learning ways to prioritize learning over grading and to make assessments more meaningful for students, you may want to consider a new grading system. Coleman will lead an interactive program on her experiences with teaching courses in both the Specs Grading and Ungrading structures. She will provide some information on how each system works and the theory behind them. She will then guide educators in adjusting an assignment or a syllabus to work with these methods. Please bring a rubric and/or a syllabus to the session to be able to participate fully in this workshop.

Granted, they are thinking along K-12 lines, but there is much that is applicable to working with our college students in various modalities. Here's the link:

With summer (beach) reading in mind, I've complied a working bibliography, of sorts, containing (mostly) recent titles that provide practical information on motivating and engaging students, critical thinking, universal design for learning, collaborative learning, reflective learning, culturally responsive and inclusive teaching practices, Ed Tech and digital learning among other approaches. All are readily available through Amazon. I hope you might find a few of the titles useful as we steam through the coming summer months and toward Fall 2022.

As we approach February 13th, advising leadership has shared that students have the option to request a grief absence, allowing them to take necessary time away during the week of February 13th. Please guide students to reach out to their academic advisors for further details. The advising unit leads will then coordinate with the student and their instructors, providing further information regarding the approved grief absence request. Additional details regarding MSU's grief absence policy can be found here: https://reg.msu.edu/roinfo/notices/griefabsence.aspx
