Assessment Commons 2025: CONNECT
January 22, 2025 from 12:30-4:30pm, after the Chancellor's Spring Address
This year will focus on connecting with others across campus doing interesting, creative, and impactful things with assessment. There will be time for university-wide assessment updates. Sessions will focus on showcasing examples of assessment happening across campus, and allowing time and space to share and discuss with peers about assessment.
You are invited to attend! Lunch is provided for registered attendees.
You are also encouraged to apply to present. Your contributions will make this event a success.
Canvas Tip.
As we're getting toward the end of the semester and you're checking through your gradebook, make sure it's accurate by verifying:
- You have weighting set correctly if you are using it (it can go over 100%)
- Grade assignments with dashes - assign 0's or excuse assignments or they will not be counted in the total grade in Canvas. They will however show up if you sync grades with Wings.
- Assignments that will be Extra Credit need to be 0's so any points you give students will be counted as bonus.
If you need to check any of these on an individual student or assignment, use the top two search boxes to Search Students and/or Search Assignments. Reach out to canvas@uwlax.edu if you have any questions!
