One powerful means of communication we have with our students here is our grading feedback. These opportunities should not be one way delivery of grades, but rather an attempt to initiate a two-way conversation with the student that encourages growth and two way discussion with the teacher. This is best accomplished through encouraging Growth Mindset in each grading interaction. Review the resources below to help you be successful with it.

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a concept used to address the many facets of authenticity within a student's work. A student who upholds a high standard of academic integrity maintains that the work he or she turns in is authentic and true to the knowledge he or she has acquired. It is important to submit EVERY AI incident that you come across in your course, and log the information / ticket for the AI incident.
