Details

Join us for a Mutual Expectations discussion on exploring the topic 'What's In A Grade?' in our September session. This conversation will encourage participants to examine thoughts and decisions that go into assigning a course grade, how students may interpret a syllabus item differently than how the instructor intended, and how to have a constructive conversation around that topic.

We’ll have a FREE lunch for everyone!


Register


** Registration Procedures Update **

In order for attendees to personally track their current registrations and attendance at certificate of completion workshops and events, the Center for Teaching Excellence requires that all registrants create an account in our registration system and login to register for all workshops.

 

If you have an existing training account with the Division of Human Resources, Office of Organizational and Professional Development, you do not need to create an account. You can login using your HR training username and password. By logging in to register for CTE events, your complete training record for both CTE and HR trainings will be available with a single account and login. Check Training Record.

 

Participants must attend a workshop in its entirety to receive credit for the workshop in their training records. Late arrival and/or early exit from a workshop invalidates receiving credit. If technology issues require rescheduling of a workshop, participants must attend the workshop at the rescheduled time to receive credit. These policies apply to all CTE workshops/events, including workshops that qualify as requirements/electives for a certificate of completion.
