Timely Tools for Student Success: End-of-Term
Help students prepare for finals
Craft and share a plan for helping students prepare for finals. Be as specific as possible. Suggest effective study strategies (see Six Strategies for Effective Learning for some ideas) and refer them to useful resources (e.g. practice problems, YouTube videos explaining useful concepts)
Submit Final Grades
If you set up a grading scheme in Canvas at the beginning of the term, you will be able to import grades from Canvas to MyRed. Instructions for manual entry along with importing from Canvas are available from the Office of the University Registrar.
Make notes on the syllabus
Take time to make notes on the course syllabus to inform the next iteration of the course.
Debrief with others
If you are the only instructor who teaches this course, consider debriefing with an instructional designer assigned to your college. Instructional designers love to hear how your course went and can help you research and identify solutions for challenges that came up during the term. Along with an instructional designer, consider debriefing with other instructors who teach the same course. If the course is part of a sequence, consider debriefing with instructors that teach other courses in the sequence.
Implement another element of the Inclusive Course Checklist
Take a look at the Inclusive Course Checklist and see if there are more items that you might tick off in preparation for teaching the course next time. Instructional designers can help review your course for opportunities and help you prioritize which changes may have the most impact.
