Teaching Tips
Grading and Assessment
Among the assessment types that educators are incorporating in their courses to contend with students’ potential reliance on GAI tools are oral exams. A commonplace practice in certain disciplines (e.g., world languages), oral exams are a way of both connecting with students and directly assessing their understanding of course concepts.
If you are new to teaching or new to the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), attempting to do a deep dive into these resources can leave you wondering where to begin. The TLC has curated a list of common goals for teaching, with five excellent books that we continuously draw on in our programs. These are either foundational readings in SoTL, or are timely in addressing trending themes in teaching, each with a link to access the full version with Drexel Libraries.
Inclusive Teaching
Supporting student success means navigating a wide range of campus resources, and it can be difficult to keep track of them all. The Office of Disability Resources (ODR) is here to partner with faculty and staff by providing guidance on working with students who have approved accommodations.
