Providing High-Quality Feedback

Feedback is one of the most powerful ways to learn, yet students are not offered enough opportunities to benefit from feedback. During this workshop, we'll explore the value of feedback and several strategies to increase feedback opportunities for students while not overly taxing instructor time. Specifically, we'll discuss linked assignments, finding opportunities for verbal feedback, and strategies to increase the effectiveness of peer feedback.

What I loved about Christine's presentation was that it was grounded in research but was also engaging and practical. It is not often you find all of this in a presenter!

Wow! This was a fantastic session. Dr. Harrington is an engaging presenter with tremendous expertise in teaching and learning! I learned so much.

I attend many conferences every year and this was by far the best session I have attended in years!
