DESCRIPTION:Teaching and Learning Services offers the following workshop fo
 r instructors:  In many courses\, the most common document used to assess 
 student learning is the essay or term paper. These types of assignments\, 
 however\, often present evaluation nightmares for the teachers who have to
  grade them.  The aim of this workshop is to examine ways in which teacher
 s can grade longer assignments effectively. The workshop will help partici
 pants identify\, articulate\, and communicate their own standards and crit
 eria with the aim of promoting fair and efficient grading. Specifically th
 e workshop will examine the reasoning skills required to produce a summary
 \, an expository research paper\, an argumentative research paper and a cr
 itical review. Most importantly\, it will demonstrate how clearly stated c
 riteria can encourage self-assessment and increase learning for all studen
 ts.  Objectives: This workshop will give participants the opportunity to: 
    examine their  beliefs about the role of assessment in their courses  r
 ecognize that every assignment is unique in terms of the intellectual abil
 ities or thinking skills that it asks students to use  view an academic pa
 per as a Performance-Based Assessment (PBA) which requires the articulatio
 n of criteria and standards of performance  experience a process that can 
 be used individually or with colleagues to generate standards for written 
 assignments    Note: Light refreshments will be served - bring your coffee
