Tired of marking that assignment you have given for two semesters in a row? Discouraged by the lack of time and energy your students are putting into their work? Sometimes all you need is a new approach and some colleagues to help inspire you.

In this workshop we rethink our approach to evaluation in a hands-on fashion. Starting from the premise that testing does not necessarily mean tests and that assignments should extend knowledge not just involve its repetition, we consider how to design and develop engaging evaluation procedures. Bring an assignment you would like to revamp to this session, as we workshop new ways of approaching evaluation.

Clear and constructive feedback can be a positive experience for professional and personal development. In this workshop you’ll gain the knowledge and the confidence so that you can skillfully give others feedback, and in knowing how to do so, will become better able to respond and dialogue when you’re on the receiving end of someone else’s feedback.

In this course participants will:

• Explore ways to reduce feelings of vulnerability and nervousness about feedback conversations;
• Practice giving powerful feedback that offers real value to other people;
• Learn the conversational steps that works best whether giving positive or constructive feedback; and
• Apply reflection questions to deepen the value of any feedback you receive.
