On behalf of the team at Teaching and Learning Services (TLS) and our partners, I’d like to extend a warm welcome to the 2015-16 academic year! This is an exciting time of year—meeting new students, reconnecting with colleagues, exploring new teaching strategies, and setting goals. The Focus on Teaching infobulletin, issued twice a month, highlights upcoming events, teaching resources, and other information of interest to support your teaching at McGill. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions, share ideas, and send us your feedback by email at tls@mcgill.ca or phone, 514-398-6648.

Are you receiving a stack of paper assignments from your class, or receiving a ton of emails of student submissions, late submissions and questions about the assignment? Attend our next webinar for a walk-through of how you can use the Assignments tool in myCourses to manage your assignments and to provide your students with valuable feedback. 

Designed specifically for the McGill context, this workshop will expose participants to a number of concepts related to equity and discrimination. During this session, participants will examine ways that unconscious or unintended bias can work its way into everyday interactions.
