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 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.

 Do you want tips on teaching students how to document their sources and avoid plagiarism…without putting them to sleep?

Humber’s Academic Regulations state that it is the student’s responsibility to learn and use the conventions of documentation. This comes as a shock to many students, who are completely in the dark when it comes to citing their sources and who don’t know the difference between plagiarizing and paraphrasing. This workshop will cover the essentials of teaching students how to document their sources correctly, thereby avoiding “accidental plagiarism”.
