Dear Faculty Colleagues,

Before the pandemic made Zoom ubiquitous and home-recorded instructional videos commonplace, our colleague from Mathematics, Joseph Biello, had started sharing what he calls “really clear videos” in his Math 21D: Vector Analysis class, and then using class time to engage with students and solve math problems requested by the students.

Dear Faculty Colleagues,

Thanks to all of you who attended our November 18th Faculty Forum, and special thanks to our friend Dr. Victoria Cross from the Department of Psychology.

Dear Faculty Colleagues,

Thanks to all of you who attended our November 4th DOLCE event. James Housefield from the Department of Design shared a thought-provoking talk about how his BYOM (Bring Your Own Mug) model for office hours came about, and what he hopes his current students get out of it. A few of Dr. Housefield’s students - past and present - attended and shared the value they found in the format of these office hours and the community that results.

Have you been searching for a tool to streamline your evaluation of paper-based or electronic assignments and quizzes? Do you want to collaboratively create and modify grading rubrics? Do you wish it were easier to coordinate teams of TAs as they review student work? If so, Gradescope may be a good fit for your courses.
