This session will clarify answers to questions you may already have about identifying and helping students with disabilities.

Increasing the Efficiency and Effectiveness of Grading Assignments
With David Sacks, Faculty/Instructional Consultant, The Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching (CELT)
Thursday, Sept. 30, at 6:30 p.m. in White Hall Classroom Building, Rm. 234
A common complaint from instructors is the amount of time it takes to grade papers, and often students make the same types of mistakes. One tool that can be very effective for all instructors is to develop a scoring rubric for each assignment. This workshop will provide you the opportunity to develop an effective scoring rubric, so come to this session with an assignment in hand and plenty of scrap paper.
Registration link is activated on the Workshop Series webpage: http://www.research.uky.edu/
Note: Our workshops last about 90 minutes, depending on length of Q&A.

Greetings,
As the semester gears up to full speed, here are some updates in relation to the re-energized EPE Student Group.

We will have an announcement very soon about the slate of inaugural officers. Also, elections will be held in the Spring for next year's officers so think about getting involved with the organization. Much appreciation to Chris Thuringer for working on the constitution and the group's registration!
Below are some dates and items to keep in mind:
(6) Finally, be on the look out for other EPE Student Group events during the semester, and don't miss opportunities to get involved!
