Tired of answering lots of questions about your assignments? Getting too many requests for extensions or too many complaints about grades? In this hands-on session, we will discuss how to set up assignments so that they are clear for students. How to create a gradebook (weighted or unweighted) that is organized and easily understandable for you and your students. You will practice enabling Unicheck (our new authenticity checker) and talk about how to use it both to prevent cheating and help students improve their written work or even Python coding. Find out how to contact your students from the gradebook for a quick way to help students who may be struggling in your course.

Join us to learn strategies to find out who your students are so that you can help them grow and become who they want to be.
