This workshop is intended for lecturers seeking to streamline their grading process. This may be particularly interesting for lecturers of Q4 courses who face tighter grading timelines due to the academic calendar structure.

After the workshop you should be able to:

• Develop assessments that facilitate significant reductions in grading time.
• Create a grading system that will speed up the assessment process.
• Provide feedback that effectively prepares students for resits.

During this hands-on workshop, we will delve into practical strategies for both short-term and long-term grading time reductions. As a participant, you will engage in meaningful discussions with colleagues from various departments within the TU. Together, you will explore opportunities and exchange best practices in a small group setting. A learning developer will share insights and tips to enhance your grading efficiency, while also providing the opportunity to refine your course assessment.

This workshop welcomes participants from all faculties. To ensure meaningful discussions, we recommend having a specific course and assessment in mind to focus on during our time together.

This course is for participants who have an appointment of 0.2 FTE or less, and thus don't need to do UTQ, but do need basic skills. Before subscribing, please discuss in your faculty first if this is the right course for you or that the UTQ trajectory is better fitting your needs.

If you are a PhD, please first consider applying to the Graduate School programme first.

This is an alternative to UTQ for a very specific group. Taking this course will not give you a UTQ certificate.

Have you ever wondered what sort of teaching adventures experienced lecturers have had? Do you enjoy hearing the tales of newer lecturers and how they navigate their roles at TU Delft? What is teacher identity, and how do you cultivate it? How does teacher identity shape your role and personal development?
