We all spend time working and interacting in groups and sometimes the experience is not as positive as we want it to be. In this useful workshop, students will learn about group theory, how it applies to group work and acquire valuable strategies to help create better group dynamics.
Time: 1:35 p.m. - 2:25 p.m.
SafeAssign, the Blackboard equivalent of TurnItIn, can be used to encourage students to identify how to properly attribute sources rather than paraphrase or plagiarize. SafeAssign compares your submitted assignments against a set of academic papers and databases to identify areas of overlap.

The Lakeshore Campus of Humber College will again be hosting two literary readings during the 2013-2014 academic year. The readings will begin at 12 noon, and they will occur in The Assembly Hall, 1 Colonel Samuel Smith Park Drive (at Kipling Avenue and Lakeshore Boulevard West.) The authors will read selections from their work, and afterwards there will be time for questions from the audience. The readings are free and open to the public.
Krista Bridge will open the series on Wednesday, October 30, 2012. Krista’s first collection of short stories, The Virgin Spy, was shortlisted for the Danuta Gleed Literary Award and a ReLit Award. Of her work, Douglas Glover, editor of Best Canadian Stories, says that Krista “writes darkly comic stories set in the inner chambers of the heart, stories of seduction and betrayal and innocence that is never quite so innocent as it seems. The way she slices through the cant and codes of conventional romance puts me in mind of a young Alice Munro.” The Eliot Girls, Krista’s debut novel, will be published this spring. According to her publisher, Douglas & McIntyre, it is a “gripping debut teeming with drama and scathing insight into the world of an all-girl private high school.”
Krista holds an MA from the University of Toronto. She is also a graduate of The Humber School for Writers and has taught in the English department at Humber College.
Olive Senior will read on Wednesday, March 5, 2014. She is the prize-winning author of a dozen books of fiction, poetry, and non-fiction. In 1986, her short story collection Summer Lightning and Other Stories won the inaugural Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Best Book, and her poetry collection Over the Roofs of the World was a finalist for the 2005 Governor General’s Literary Award for Poetry. According to the New York Times Book Review, in Discerner of Hearts and Other Stories, “Spotlighting the multiple marks of class and racial differences [in Jamaica], Senior offers a luminous portrait of people struggling to find their own place in a changing world.”
Born in Jamaica, Olive has travelled widely and now spends most of her time in Jamaica and in Toronto. She is also often a member of the faculty of The Humber School for Writers.
