A good syllabus thoughtfully connects your assignments\, activities\, and assessments to course goals\, thus preparing you for more effective and efficient grading through the semester. A good syllabus also supports students\, a matter we will consider through a lens of inclusion and equity.  During this workshop\, you’ll begin editing your syllabus and will leave with a plan for final revisions that use your new ideas about how the content and language of a syllabus can serve you and your students.  \nDuring the first half\, our focus will be on how well your syllabus serves your core goals and makes explicit connections between those course goals and your other assignments and activities. By taking time now to solidify these connections using principles of backwards design\, you set yourself up for easier grading and responding later in the semester.   \nDuring the second half\, we’ll explore how your syllabus welcomes students\, whether it connects with students as the you had hoped\, how it can either demystify or complicate students understanding of the course and campus supports\, and how it serves student inclusion and equity. \nFacilitated by Susanmarie Harrington\, Center for Teaching and Learning & Writing in the Disciplines\, & Holly Buckland Parker\, Center for Teaching and Learning \nYou will receive a Microsoft Teams calendar invitation the afternoon prior to your event explaining how to join and participate in the meeting.  If you click “accept\,” it will populate on your Teams calendar for easy access!

Faculty can now use the iClicker app to poll students and get instant feedback on whether students understand concepts presented during lecture and in pre-class readings. UVM has a site license for the iClicker Student App as of Fall 2021. \nThis workshop also covers the technical aspects of using iClicker Cloud\, the preferred instructor software for administering iClicker polls and grades. There will be opportunities for attendees to ask additional questions. iClicker Cloud supports a variety of question types\, and is entirely based in the cloud for easy administration. iClicker Cloud also supports hand-held iClicker remotes. \nFacilitated by Holly Buckland Parker. \nYou will receive a Microsoft Teams calendar invitation the afternoon prior to your event explaining how to join and participate in the meeting.  If you click “accept\,” it will populate on your Teams calendar for easy access!

We’ll also show you how to verify its weighted grade calculations and how to troubleshoot problems. \nThe Grade Center is essentially a spreadsheet that can be customized to calculate your students’ weighted grades as they proceed through the course. It’s tied to the tools you’ve set up in your course for graded assignments\, it can also include columns for grades that are not linked to Blackboard tools. It’s a robust tool that provides many grading features\, such as grouping like-assignments in order to drop the lowest grade. \nFacilitated by Inés Berrizbeitia. \nYou will receive a Microsoft Teams calendar invitation the afternoon prior to your event explaining how to join and participate in the meeting.  If you click “accept\,” it will populate on your Teams calendar for easy access!
