COLI Faculty Meetup

Discuss reading, writing and plagiarism

This spring, the Center for Online Learning & Innovation (COLI) is hosting two faculty meetups focused on the pedagogy of reading, writing and academic integrity. Meetups will be held on Friday, February 16 from 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. and Thursday, March 22 from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. in the library classroom.

Now more than ever college, faculty are under pressure to cultivate critical reading and writing skills in students.  But in our students’ worlds, courses, lessons and assignments compete with a wide variety of other priorities and media. We often struggle to persuade students that these intellectual virtues are worth their time.  Our most heartbreaking and frustrating experiences come when we discover that our students committed academic dishonesty; rather than make a sincere attempt to create original work.

TMoriviví,

All faculty are welcome. COLI supplies the refreshments

Together, we can do much more!
