Embark on a transformative journey with Dr. Jeffrey Kohler as we tackle the mid-semester crescendo of higher education. Our enlightening discussion promises to arm you with the strategies you need to navigate midterm assessments while keeping your students engaged and on track. We're breaking down the walls between achieving learning outcomes and the daily grind of exams, providing you with the tools to weave formative feedback into the fabric of your teaching. As the pressure of midterms mounts, we open up about the shared stress pervading classrooms and the significance of cultivating a supportive atmosphere that taps into the wealth of campus resources dedicated to mental health.
In the thick of academic challenges, we tackle the ever-present issue of academic integrity head-on, shedding light on the sophisticated arsenal at our disposal. From lockdown browsers to the nuanced AI detection capabilities of Turnitin, we're guiding you through the intricacies of these tools to keep honesty at the forefront of student assessments. Dr. Kohler offers a wealth of knowledge on deciphering Turnitin reports and the importance of keeping an open dialogue with students, ensuring that the pursuit of integrity doesn't overshadow the pursuit of understanding.
