CAPS & API Newsletter: End of Fall 2022 Semester

The Coordinators of Academic Programs & Services (CAPS) and Academic Planning & Innovation (API) Teams will continue the e-newsletter schedule with a beginning of the semester, mid-semester, and end of the semester issue each fall and spring! Below are several updates and reminders from our teams as we approach the end of the fall 2022 semester. 

NEWS, UPDATES, AND REMINDERS  

 

Final Exam Room Assignments Fall 2022 

From the Registrar’s Office: 

Final Exam rooms are now assigned for all Fall 2022 sections with an exam code that normally requires General Assignment classroom space for their Final Exam. All assignments are posted to My Schedule in the Faculty Center and students’ MyUW Course Schedule widget.  

 

To view classroom assignments: log into MyUW and go to My Schedule in the Faculty Center. Scroll down to My Exam Schedule, and you will see one (or more) rooms assigned for each course. Please Note: Each course offering will be listed separately, so if you are teaching a combined course, the classrooms will appear for each member of the combination.

Fall 2022 TA/PA End of Semester Evaluations: DUE 1/13/23 

Now that the end of the fall semester is upon us, it is time for the evaluation portion of the TA/PA Rights, Responsibilities, Communication and Evaluation worksheet. All supervisors are required to review the graduate student TA/PA work at least once during the appointment term.

Canvas - Spring 2023 Courses Now Being Created 

The Canvas courses for Spring 2023 began to be generated on November 21. Instructors will start seeing them appear on their Canvas dashboard. Course and roster information is updated every four hours from now until the end of the spring term. Please feel free to reach out to Andrea Johnston (ajohnston3@wisc.edu) with any questions about setting up your spring Canvas course or transferring content from a previous semester into the spring.

 

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. 

(Contact: Kathy O’Connell, kathleen.oconnell@wisc.edu 

 

Professional Development Opportunities 

Register now for two January workshops from the Center for Teaching, Learning & Mentoring (CTLM): 

 

We want to recognize the great work departments have done on phase one of the SoHE self-study. We are transitioning into the next phase in early Spring and encourage you all to keep on, keeping on. You got this!  

(Contact: newly transitioned to Annette McDaniel, amcdaniel@wisc.edu)  

 

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:
