Grain is foregrounded with a sunset in the background

Hub Cap:

What Happened This Week in Teaching and Learning

I picked this sunset image for this week's Hub Cap as we are getting late in the term, also the grain seemed appropriate for late fall and the week before Thanksgiving. Keeping this HubCap short as we are all short on time. Everyone in the Hub is sending big thank yous to all of our faculty for everything you do for our students.

We hope you will appreciate these little notes ending your week with Hub tips and ideas. If you would prefer not to receive them, please use this form to unsubscribe. We will remove your email from our list. You are always welcome back!

Teaching Tips

Late term/gearing up for what's next

Classes are ending in a few weeks. This is that liminal space where you are wrapping up this term but likely the start of next term is somewhere tickling the back of your mind. Here are some tips on endings and beginnings.

UC Berkeley's Center for Teaching and Learning has some great ideas for the last day of class
Though aimed at K-12 this Cult of Pedagogy podcast on lame duck school days has some good tips that could work in higher ed - and I just love this idea of "lame duck" days
We've all been told to be flexible with students during these trying times but that does not mean we throw out all structure. The Deadline Dilemma from The Chronicle gives insights.
I was super honored to be interviewed by our UM Dearborn Reporter alongside Grace Helms-Kotre about the inclusive practice of reducing content in your course design
Looking to curb cheating in your courses next term? Inside Higher Ed just did an overview of a recent study which found that six low effort interventions used throughout the course significantly increased academic integrity in students.

What We Are Reading

From Autumm's Desk

The Inside Higher Ed article about cheating that I linked to above also led me to another IHE article about cheating: "What Happened When I Made My Students Cheat" by Jole Heng Hartse a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University and current President of the Canadian Association for the Study of Discourse and Writing. Here, Hartse reflects on a special topics course he teaches on academic integrity. Students read about taxonomies of cheating, research on academic integrity, and for one of the assignments students purposefully engage in "cheating". I loved this article because of the results of the assignment where students discovered that cheating did not pay off but also because it is full of links and resources to research on academic integrity and even some of the readings that Hartse provides to his students.
