We hope you’ll join us for one or two of the following short sessions:

Leading Discussions: The Silent Treatment

Do you get frustrated when students don’t/won’t talk? Are you unsure how to get the ball rolling or keep it going? Do your tutorials frequently end in fistfights in the corridor? Want your students to be excited about course material and eager to say what they think?

  • share your frustrations and goals
  • learn tips for encouraging meaningful discussion
  • practice strategies for leading your next discussion
  • find out how else the GA/TA Network can help you do your job

Gobs of Grading

Are you being crushed under piles of grading? Do you wonder what a rubric is and where to get one? Do you have nightmares about grading in CLEW? Do you have no time left for your own homework?

  • learn tips to manage grading and get your own work done
  • view a variety of rubrics and practice adapting them to your own grading
  • find out how else the GA/TA Network can help you do your job

All sessions will be held in Lambton Tower, room 2103 (attached to Erie Hall)
