Jonathan Farina, College of Arts and Sciences<\/em><\/p>\n

Ed Jones, College of Arts and Sciences<\/em><\/p>\n

While assessing student learning and providing feedback on student work is vitally important, it\u2019s not always necessary to do so in the same ways we always have. Instead of traditional paper tests\/exams and written comments on papers, our faculty presenters have been using other means to gauge student knowledge and advance student learning. In this workshop they will share their strategies for using oral exams, the oral paper defense, and oral commentary on student writing and the results of these practices.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What does it mean to incorporate mindfulness and contemplative practices into our teaching and our daily lives? Studies have shown that a contemplative approach to teaching and learning can foster engagement, deep learning, and a spirit of inquiry. It can also change the way we approach our own lives as scholars and educators. Dr. Daniel Barbezat, Professor of Economics at Amherst College and author (with Mirabai Bush) of Contemplative Practices in Higher Education: Powerful Tools to Transform Education<\/em> (Jossey-Bass, 2013), will explain what is meant by “contemplative pedagogy” and the growing development of contemplative practices in higher education; he will also share contemplative strategies that have the power to change not only your classroom but higher education more generally.<\/p>\n

What LGBTQ+ Students Want Their Professors to Know<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Session Leader: Peter Savastano, College of Arts and Sciences<\/em><\/p>\n

Student Panelists: TBA<\/em><\/p>\n

In Sept. 2015, the Chronicle of Higher Education<\/em> published an article, \u201cWhat LGBTQ Students Want Their Professors to Know,\u201d reporting on the results of interviews with more than a dozen LGBTQ+ students to find out “what keeps them from thriving in college.” We’ve asked students here at Seton Hall to participate in this session and respond to the question posed in the article’s title: “What do you want your professors to know?” Peter Savastano will moderate the panel and discussion. As the Chronicle<\/em> article observes, “many gay, lesbian, and transgender students say they face an array of challenges and safety issues on their campuses.” This is an opportunity to find out how to understand and provide support for the LGBTQ+ students in our community here at Seton Hall.<\/p>\n

Project Syllabus: SHU Edition<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Amy Hunter, College of Arts and Sciences<\/em><\/p>\n

(Due to popular demand, we are reprising this workshop from the fall semester. Even if you attended then, however, feel free to return!)<\/p>\n

The course syllabus may be the single most important document for our classes, yet improving them can be difficult. We often can\u2019t detect problems of clarity and accessibility, among other things, that can lead to student confusion and even frustration. Amy Hunter, editor for an initiative entitled Project Syllabus, which is a compendium of peer-reviewed psychology syllabi, will show how they evaluate syllabi using an empirically based rubric. The rubric, not discipline specific, can be used to assess syllabi from any discipline.<\/p>\n
