Feedback on Teaching (FoT)  

Stay tuned for more information on a new professional development offering in Human Ecology. The program is called Feedback on Teaching (FoT). This opportunity will enable you to:  

• Reflect on your teaching in a relaxed, supportive way  
• Receive thoughtful guidance from a peer  
• Identify ways to improve student learning  
• Connect and engage with others in SoHE, as well as campus, teaching and learning community  

While the primary goal of Feedback on Teaching is to facilitate formative feedback, some may seek summative feedback as well for the purposes of tenure, promotion or a teaching portfolio.

ACTION ITEMS

Uploading Course Syllabus into Canvas  
Access to course syllabi is a requirement for the university’s accreditation and departments are responsible for keeping syllabi on file. To facilitate this process, the API team will retrieve syllabi from Canvas and add it to the SoHE Syllabi Repository after instructors have uploaded course syllabi to Canvas.  

Please follow the instructions in the KB (Knowledge Base) linked below to upload a PDF of your course syllabus to Canvas:
