Upcoming Workshops and Revisiting SERs

Last year we discussed the importance of using the Student Engagement Roster (SERs) to provide students with timely feedback on how they are doing in your course. These reports also provide records of your observations and recommendations to academic advisors, who can look for patterns across all a student’s courses. This allows advisors to reach out to students in more targeted and supportive ways and develop a plan of action for success.

In this week (Week 3) of the semester, the SERS Site recommends that faculty consider giving students a diagnostic task that will help you identify students who may be struggling. It does not have to be factored into your grade. Use it to provide appropriate feedback in SER.  In Week 4 of the semester, faculty should follow up with students to whom you gave feedback. See: https://ser.indiana.edu/faculty/index.html#closeloop and by Week 6, faculty should now submit Early Evaluation Grades through SER (This may also be done via the Faculty Center in One.IU.) The report is due on Due on the Sunday after the sixth week of classes.
