Happy Friday!
here is a look at events at DCAL in the next few weeks:
Talking about Language and Culture-Monthly Discussion Group, 2:30pm - 4:00pm, Tuesday, January 27, 2015
Strategies for assessing students’ participation: Even as experienced instructors we are sometimes confused on how to best
evaluate participation, which in our syllabi is often graded along with the more traditional assessment measures such as presentations, exams and writing assignments. During the January TALK session we will discuss how we can promote better participation in
our classes through formative assessment, while offering at the same time clear, fair, and useful criteria for the assessment of participation.
Light refreshments will be provided, please register for this session: http://libcal.dartmouth.edu/event.php?id=872854
First-year Portfolios: Insights into Student Learning and Experiences, 12:00pm - 1:30pm, Thursday, February 5, 2015
First-year students in the Institute’s pilot portfolio project collect their work from Writing 2-3, Writing 5, First-year Seminar, and Humanities 1-2, identify what they consider to be their best work, complete end-of-term self-reflections, and
meet with their FYS instructor early in the FYS to share their best work sample. Three faculty members have studied the 2014 portfolios, looking at: 1) the effect of student perceptions of similarity/dissimilarity between the first and second courses on their
adaptation of knowledge across these courses; 2) student writing quality in relation to students' self assessments; and 3) student self-efficacy beliefs in relation to academic writing performance. In this Institute-sponsored session, we will informally discuss
what they have learned, look at examples of the work and reflections, and consider how it might inform our teaching.
Lunch will be provided, please register for this session: http://libcal.dartmouth.edu/event.php?id=871111
Have a great weekend!
