| Dr. Mark Kyburz | Thursday, 28 May 2026 | 14.00-18.00 | face-to-face | Supervise & Assess Fairly and Efficiently |
Supervising and assessing student writing can be challenging. Although supervisors realise that students need support, their lack of experience or tools (or work pressures) may hamper the supervisor-student relationship. This workshop introduces various strategies (coaching techniques, academic writing resources, grading rubrics, etc.) to help supervisors cope effectively with the demands of their role.
Teaching assistants, lecturers and other faculty interested in developing or expanding their ability to supervise and assess student writing.
