SUMMARY:"Too Much Reading": Estimating Student Workload
DESCRIPTION:Many students have an acute sense of courses being “a ton of work” or “easy\,” but do we? \nThis brief session shares a helpful tool and data to realistically assess the student workload in your classes. You’ll learn about how much time students spend on their studies and how many hours it actually takes them to do that 15-page reading. We’ll conclude with a discussion of how a more accurate estimate of student workload can help your course planning. \nIf you have questions about this event\, contact Elina Salminen. \n  \nRegistration\nAdvance registration has ended.

SUMMARY:Crafting a Sample Syllabus for the Job Market
DESCRIPTION:For teaching-focused positions\, it is common to be asked for a sample syllabus. In this workshop for graduate students and postdocs approaching the academic job market\, we will consider key aspects of sample syllabi to include\, as well as how to align sample syllabi with the needs of different kinds of positions. Utilizing the principles of backwards design\, we will also discuss where to start when trying to come up with a topics-based course. Note that this is not intended to cover the full course design process\, but is instead specifically for those who must develop a sample syllabus for their job market materials. \nIf you have questions about this event\, contact Lisa Kuehne. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Collecting and Using Feedback Effectively
DESCRIPTION:Reflecting on feedback about your teaching provides you with the opportunity to recognize what is working well and to make plans to address what could be improved. In this workshop\, we will start by discussing why feedback is important to your teaching beliefs and valuable for your students’ learning. Then we will spend some time determining what you are willing to do regarding feedback and what you need from your students in return. Finally\, we will have time for you to work on how to explicitly connect your feedback beliefs and practices to create an effective learning environment. \nIf you have questions about this event\, contact Lisa Kuehne. \n  \nRegistration

The slide need not be fancy! Participants will share their ideas and each PPT slide will be collected and redistributed together with the others as a single PDF to all event participants as a “resource gallery” for future use. \nAll language instructors including faculty\, postdocs\, and grad students who are teaching independently\, are welcome to participate. If you can’t make it for the whole hour\, you are welcome to still participate when you can. Advance registration is required. All attendees must plan to bring an activity to share. \nFor questions about the event\, please email Elina Salminen at elinasalminen@wustl.edu. \nRegister Here\nRegistration for this event has now closed.
