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.

Designed to help individuals move toward achieving work-life balance, this workshop responds to the overwhelming evidence that most people are stretched too thin, have too much on their plates, and are expected to produce more results with less resources, while juggling the pressures of family and a personal life. The facilitator creates a learning environment for participants to:

  • Assess their current work-life balance.
  • Identify and understand what is getting in their way of achieving better balance.
  • Discuss the roles of health and stress management, emotional intelligence and time management.
  • Determine a personal vision for work and life balance.
  • Create a plan with strategies to move toward achieving this vision.
