The University Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education (UCITE) invites graduate students, faculty and staff members, and postdocs to the next UCITE Fridays event Sept. 13 from 11:40 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Freedman Center for Digital Scholarship’s Collaboration Commons at Kelvin Smith Library.
This week’s session will be the first in a three-part series on civil discourse, with a focus on planning ahead.
Attendees will walk through planning strategies for constructive conversations, including identifying connections between course learning objectives and discussion activities as well as exploring ideas for establishing ground rules.
Participants who complete all three civil discourse seminars will receive a free resource to use in planning and facilitating discussion-based classes.
UCITE Fridays offer instructors an opportunity to discuss pedagogy over pizza.
