On behalf of Transformative Learning in the Humanities: Practicing Ungrading: Why and How with Susan D. Blum Tuesday, October 26 @ 4-5 PM EST A one-hour virtual workshop with Dr. Susan D. Blum, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Notre Dame and editor of the collection “Ungrading: Why Rating Students Undermines Learning (and What to Do Instead)” (West Virginia University Press, 2020) What is “ungrading” and why is it having such an impact right now? Dr. Susan D. Blum, professor of anthropology at the University of Notre Dame, is one of the nation’s leading experts and practitioners of the combination of evaluative practices loosely known as “ungrading.” In this interactive workshop, Dr. Blum will discuss the reasons why it is important to think about our grading practices—where they come from, how they do or do not promote or inhibit learning, and what better ways and models are available. RSVP at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/practicing-ungrading-why-and-how-with-susan-d-…. We would love to collect any questions you might have for Dr. Blum in advance. Given your expertise and on-the-ground knowledge of what faculty are facing right now at CUNY, we would greatly appreciate your submissions to our “questions box” for Dr. Blum: https://forms.gle/bkezX6JZ6zkyxK1p6.

>From the Office of the Provost: Are you interested in creating impactful global learning for your students? Do you want to connect with faculty across national borders? The Office of the Provost at Queens College is pleased to announce the **2021-2022 Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) Faculty Fellowships.** In keeping with the international goals of Queens College (QC) and working closely with the Center for Teaching and Learning, the workshops will provide faculty support in the development of COIL into their courses. The aim of the COIL Faculty Fellowships is to offer select faculty the opportunity to learn about Collaborative Online International Learning, develop strategies for incorporating it into their courses, advance research with international colleagues, and expand QC’s global presence. Adding a COIL component to your course offers your students an opportunity to interact globally through virtual exchange without additional costs associated with physical mobility. While the COIL component takes place solely online, your course may be face-to-face, hybrid or fully online. Courses may be existing courses or new courses. Interested Queens College faculty from all disciplines are invited to learn more about COIL here: https://coil.qc.cuny.edu/ **The application deadline to be part of the 2021-2022 cohort with a $500 stipend is October 4th by 5pm via form: https://shorturl.at/nrsGY ** For more information on the COIL Faculty Fellowship structure, eligibility, and application: http://ctl.qc.cuny.edu/coil-at-qc/ Please direct any questions to COIL Coordinator, Prof. Schiro Withanachchi: schiro.withanachchi(a)qc.cuny.edu
