The "How To Stay Sane During Grading Season" Challenge
|
We know the end of the semester can be hectic for faculty. That's why we've created a daily challenge for December 11th through December 20th that will enhance your productivity in ten minutes or less and keep you calm & carrying on as our Fall 2017 semester wraps up.
Each exercise is backed by research and has been carefully curated to help you stay on track through the chaos that the end of the semester brings (without losing your sanity!).
Grades are due Wednesday, December 20th, at 5pm.
