Share your Teaching Strategies

What does student participation look like in your class? How do you grade participation? Do students receive an overall participation grade at the end of the semester or do they receive individual grades for participation per class? Do you use a participation grading rubric? Send an email with your teaching strategies to itd@northshore.edu and we will share them in the next few issues of iDevelop.

We hope you enjoy this weekly eNewsletter and would love your input. Please let us know if you have any feedback on the format, content, and resources or if there is anything else you would like to see in the eNewsletter.

Thank you,
Instructional Technology and Design  and the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment
