Defining expectations, providing quick feedback, and

consistent grading help students understand what they are

doing well, and where they might improve. Creating a

grading rubric that includes criteria and scale helps convey

information about the relative importance of each aspect of

an assignment. You will examine examples and have time

to create elements of a rubric, so that by then end of the

session, you will be well on your way toward building a tool

that allows you to evaluate the work students submit as

evidence of their learning.

Room: WCLIBA 102

Active learning increases student engagement and student

retention, in terms of both the information students retain

and in terms of student persistence. There is a plethora of

active learning strategies. This session will review a

number of those strategies and explore how they might be

adapted to various disciplines.

Presented by: Cheryl Bates

Room: WCLIBA 136

Do you feel like you are talking to a brick wall and wonder if

students absorb any information? This session will present

examples of quick and easy classroom based assessment

activities to help determine if students have knowledge on

the subject matter. Discussion will include the use of

games/activities, and more. DISCLAIMER: This session is

not discussing TCC's assessment requirements; however,

you may be able to apply knowledge gained from this

session to help with those assessment needs.

Presented by: Elizabeth Szkirpan and Andy Taylor

Room: WCLIBA 140

TCC instructors have several cloud-based resources at

their disposal to better collaborate with colleagues,

students, and college administrators. Of these, OneDrive

and SharePoint are perhaps two of the most convenient

technologies for document storage, retrieval, and

collaboration. The presenters will cover these tools,

access, and suggest uses for both platforms.

Presented by: Sasha Townsend

Room: WCLIBA 236

My presentation will discuss Standards Based Grading

(SBG), the benefits and challenges of the grading system,

my experiences over the last seven semesters

implementing the method with different student populations

(STEM vs. non-STEM majors, TCC students vs. TU

Students), and common variations in the implementation of

SBG. I will provide links to further resources and aim to

offer practical assistance to faculty who wish to implement

SBG for the first time. While there are both logistical and

buy­‐in challenges to switching to SBG, student outcomes

and understanding have made me a firm believer in the

efficacy and fairness of this approach.

Presented by: Rob Katz, Mike Limas, and Cindy Shanks

Room: WCLIBA 240

This session will serve as a facilitated opportunity for

faculty to brainstorm about sustainability in the liberal arts

and social sciences. In this session we will focus on the

issues of diversity, equity, social justice, poverty, economic

injustice, and mindfulness as topics already present in the

Liberal Arts and Social Science and their connection to

sustainability.

Presented by: Jennifer Campbell and Jerilyn Schultz

Room: WCINFO 136

Using the rubric tool in Blackboard leads to efficient grading

practices giving the student detailed performance

feedback. In this session, you will create a rubric in

Blackboard, grade from a student assignment using a

rubric, and then view the completed rubric from a student

perspective.

Presented by: Wesley Mosier

Room: WCLIBA 136

Presentation will focus on a service-learning course I am

currently teaching in which students participate in the

Library of Congress's Veterans History Project. Students

will have the opportunity to learn about history and the

process of preservation by recording interviews with our

nation's veterans. The interviews will be archived in the

Library of Congress.

Perkins

Room: WCLIBA 240

Data suggests that students tend to write better papers

when they participate in a more "authentic" environment.

This project examines 150 student papers from 6 different

composition courses. Our project scored these essays

using a common rubric and then performed an analysis of

variance to determine which areas of student writing

improved with authentic audience and which stayed the

same or had no statistical significance.

between Academic Affairs and Student Affairs will also be

highlighted.

Presented by: Chris Perkins

Room: WCLIBA 136

This presentation will address active learning, faculty

research, and innovations in teaching by reporting on the

service-learning project that I undertook as recipient of a

2018 Service-Learning Research Fellowship. The

presentation will summarize a civic engagement project

completed by students in Fall 2018 and the results of

surveys and other data that demonstrate a clear connection

between active learning practices like service-learning and

improvement in students' composition abilities and general

civic awareness.

Presented by: Douglas Price, Thomas Wallis, and

Gary Young-Allen

Room: WCLIBA 140

This session considers the notion of intercultural spaces

found in our TCC classrooms by exploring the global

complexity and diversity of our student body. Consideration

of "what is a global citizen?" will help shape the

conversation. How can we leverage these intercultural

spaces in our teaching & learning to develop local and

international sensibilities?

Presented by: Kirk Brewer

Room: WCLIBA 236

I will profile my flipped classroom approach where students

take personal responsibility for their own learning and for

helping develop community in and out of the classroom

through collaboration, critical thinking, and communication.

I'll explain what a flipped classroom looks like and how you

can actually cover more material more efficiently and

effectively than traditional lecture.

Presented by: Lynnda Brown

Room: WCLIBA 240

What professor wouldn't love to reduce their grading time

and have students submit quality assignments?

Specifications grading allows just that. As the professor,

you provide the specific criteria for successful completion of

an assignment - something many of us do right now. The

difference is that students earn all the points or none of the

points on the assignment. You no longer have to

painstakingly determine points, A, B, C grades on each

assignment? That's right. Specification grading can reduce

grading time, and believe it or not, increase the quality of

student work.

on a Student Affairs initiative. We will cover the logistics of

the Service Learning Project, group dynamics, importance

of the surveys, and how the results will be used. Two

students from the class will also share their perspective

and insight.

Presented by: John Tanzey

Room: WCLIBA 136

The presentation will begin by providing a backdrop: why

our students need to distinguish between lies and truth in

their research, and one idea about why that is so

challenging. Then, I will briefly share how I teach argument

and its very real-world application to student academic

writing and speaking. This will incorporate activities of

application.

This session will model a Freirian Circle of Learning

approach (heavy on discussion) as we consider how

"affirmative cultures" can quickly "fall into a rapid and steep

decline" (Petersonand Deal, Shaping School Culture). How

might out current larger contemporary society be affecting

our own classrooms and college work? We will look at

some research and discuss our own experiences in terms

of agency and empowerment rather than negativity and

defeat.

Presented by: Diane Potts

Room: WCLIBA 240

The United States currently has military troops in 170

different nations, according to the New York Times, and is

fighting various wars simultaneously. There appears to be

near bipartisan consensus in Congress in favor of these

wars. Yet, many in the US public are weary and want the

troops to come home. This talk will discuss strategies for

teaching about America's wars in an age of permanent war

and the approach pioneered in a new peace history

website that examines every war in US history from a just

war perspective and is designed to encourage critical

thinking about war and society.

Please join us back in the West Campus Gallery for the final

wrap-up / evaluation session.
