Dear Faculty,
While Spring Quarter has just begun, I recommend you take a moment to consider asking for mid-quarter feedback from your students. Quality feedback can lead to adjustments that enhance the learning experience, and students consistently express appreciation for instructors who ask for and respond to feedback.
Visit our website or the Mid-quarter Survey page in your Canvas course shell to learn more about how we can help.
Best,
Grace Lyo

- Submit an assignment on your student’s behalf. Instructors and Course Admins (FAs) are now able to submit an assignment for a student in Canvas.
on how he draws students into class discussions
“I've learned that you can ask a question and just wait for 10 seconds. You don't have to immediately call on somebody. You can let people think and percolate, because somebody may take a few seconds to formulate a response in their mind and raise their hand. That could be the reason a student isn't participating.”
Find additional strategies for facilitating discussion in the TLHub’s Leading Effective Discussions resource.
