Writing Center Workshop: Assessing Writing From Multilingual Writers

Thursday, April 7 || 1:00pm - 2:00pm || Wilson Hall , 1-114

Writing functions as an important assessment tool. However, surface features of writing and cultural assumptions of a text can often overly influence how a student’s work is evaluated. This workshop will discuss how faculty and TAs can prioritize assessing a student’s knowledge of course content, not penalizing them for the types of errors that accompany the language acquisition process.

SKILL #4: Mastering Academic Time Management

Thu, Apr 14 || 12:00pm - 1:30pm MDT

New faculty members commonly describe:

  • Working long hours but making little progress on their research and writing
  • A sense of loneliness that stems from limited mentoring and community
    Feeling unsupported in their desire for work-family balance and without the skills to achieve it
  • Wondering whether the academic path is the right career choice

This webinar is specifically designed to address these issues and provide participants with concrete skills to successfully transition from graduate student to professor.
