On Thursday, January 11th, we will gather over lunch to digest and debrief from Arya Samuelson’s “Radical Revision” workshop held on Wednesday. Even if you cannot attend the Wednesday session, you are invited to come to lunch and to share with us your thoughts about : What roles do review and revision play in the work of your courses? For writing and non-writing pedagogy, how do you chart a clear path for learners towards “skill and sophistication”? Where do you need help in honing that process?

Please register for lunch by Friday January 5th.

For the new and not so new! The CTLR welcomes faculty of all ages and experiences to come enjoy lunch together and to engage with new faculty colleagues in a discussion about evaluating teaching. Teaching is one of a few key elements of faculty work, and in this lunchtime conversation, we’ll shine a light on what folks have gained through feedback from course response forms, in-class visits, mid-semester check-ins, etc, while also making space for how those evaluations can be tricky to navigate and learn from.
