We conduct training year round on how to use Brightspace. Email wagner.onlinecourses@nyu.edu for personalized training.

Reach out to wagner.facutlysupport@nyu.edu for assistance with how to access and populate your Brightsapce site.

It is crucial to remember that final grades must be formally entered on the final grade roster in Albert (Student Information System), as grades in Brightspace are not automatically transferred and do not count as official submissions. This is the last and essential step in the grading process. 

Learn how to submit your final grades in Albert.

• Submitting Final Grades

The grade roster should open 72 hours after the last day of the semester. If you have any concerns, email michelle.spatz@nyu.edu. 

Our published code states this: "academic penalties may be imposed by the faculty member in whose course or assignment the infraction was made. These may include failing the assignment, failing the course, requiring additional academic work, lowering the student's overall grade, or a combination."

• Step 1 - Confront you student of a potential violation and tell them the penalty you’d like to impose. 

• Step 2 - The student must be informed via email that this will stay on their internal record, and if there is a second instance or another academic offense the student will be referred directly to the discipline committee. After your discussion with the student, please send an email as a follow up (see below template) and copy Rajeev and Erica. Rajeev and Erica will then follow up with the student and have a conversation to make sure the student understands the academic integrity policy at Wagner and the seriousness of a second offense.

Below is a template email that you could use and tailor to the situation:

"I would like to follow up on our meeting [or email] on [date] regarding an instance of academic dishonesty with regards to your paper in my course.

The following summarizes my report.

While grading the [insert assignment title] assignment, I noticed [insert explanation]. My comparison of your assignment suggests that [insert student name] [insert issue that occurred].

As a result, you earned a grade reduction for this assignment. The total grade for the [insert assignment title] including the penalty, is a [insert grade].

Since this is your first offense, I want to clarify that this incident will stay on your internal record. However, if there is a second incident of an academic offense, you will be referred to the disciplinary committee. Please also refer to Wagner’s Academic Code.

[insert student name], if you agree to the facts and grading outcome provided here, please reply all with your approval. If you would like to amend the facts or grading outcome provided in this email, please reply all with your proposed revised text. Once we conclude this matter, I will post your grade."

You can reschedule your course for a Thursday evening or weekend day. You’ll want to be sure to record the session for anyone who can’t attend.

Part of signing a contract to teach at NYU Wagner includes committing to offer an office hour that works for you and is flexible for students in your class. This is to be offered virtual and using Zoom.

It is discouraged to keep students longer than the class scheduled meeting. Anything after the class scheduling meeting should be 100% optional.

Email wagnermha.advising@nyu.edu with the student name and issue.

There are Writing Tutors available through the NYU Wagner Writing Center. 

There are also Statistics Tutors available for the Analyzing Data course. Both can be located in the Brightspace sites for all MHA courses.

The Wagner Writing Center offers one-on-one meetings to help your students improve their writing over time and on individual assignments. We offer virtual and in-person meetings, small group workshops, and, back by popular demand, in-person drop-in hours in our 17th Street space (room 279). We help students at all levels, from folks who want to publish their work, looking for a last set of eyes before sending things out to journals, magazines and newspapers; to students who passionately hate writing but know they need to improve. We offer assistance at all points in the writing process, from deciphering challenging prompts and brainstorming ideas to providing advice on 2nd, 3rd, or 4th drafts. 

Students should use the calendar here to schedule an appointment.
