Advising Conversations on Covid Learning and Grading - Save the Dates
Students are experiencing different learning and grading experiences this academic year that may indicate the need for stronger interventions when we return to face-to-face instruction. The ATA, in conjunction with the Operational Excellence Strong Start team, will launch a three-part series of advising conversations around the impact of the current grading options, what that means in terms of preparation moving to next-level classes, and how advisors can help students truly asses their readiness for a post-Covid instructional experience at WSU. Please save Monday February 1, February 15 and March 1 from 3 to 4pm and watch for a invite/rsvp from the ATA. |
