Are you worried you're wasting precious time responding to final papers at the end of the semester? When students no longer have a next assignment to complete, and when their work will no longer be revised, it's important that you use your responding time effectively to the benefit of both you and your students. Join colleagues to talk about adjusting your response strategies for the particular context of the semester’s end.

Curious about tools for detecting plagiarism? Turnitin, a “similarity-detection” program, is integrated with Brightspace and can be utilized by instructors. WID has tested Turnitin’s capacities in order to inform decisions about the tool’s use. Join us to discuss WID’s observations regarding its function and limitations, and also to explore student motivation and writing integrity.

Do you have an assignment you like but doesn’t quite work as well as you’d hoped?  Let’s see if we can solve the problem and save your assignment together!  During this assignment clinic, each participant will bring an assignment to workshop as a group using an appreciative and encouraging framework to think through what changes might help.

Do you find it tricky to teach both content and writing skills in the same course? This workshop explores principles for infusing writing into disciplinary courses. Starting with some basic principles for understanding the role of writing in participants’ disciplines, we’ll look at how disciplinary courses can support student writers by creating opportunities for connections and practice—all with an eye on sustainable workloads for students and teachers alike. The workshop will allow participants to apply core principles to their own teaching situation.

Are you wondering how you should approach AI use policies with your students? As artificial intelligence tools become more available, it’s vital that we engage students in open and clear dialogue about course policies and other potential impacts. In this session, we will explore syllabi statements that address AI use and limits in varying contexts and how our expectations connect with UVM’s Code of Academic Integrity. Participants will be provided with a range of sample policies, statements, and guiding prompts and will leave the session with a heightened sense of the values they wish to communicate to students.
