Congratulations on the end of this historic academic year (Teaching Tip)

Congratulations on the end of this historic academic year

We did it! We persevered as educators, learners, and members of the Cyclone community.
 
Celebrate innovation; see our first collection of CELT Teaching Briefs from our faculty and teaching community. This collection reminds us of the importance of student engagement, community building, and practice –the same powerful pedagogies adapted from face-to-face settings work well for online environments.
 
Complete this semester; follow the steps outlined on the End of Semester Checklist to guide you through the grade submission process. As a reminder, grades are due Tuesday, May 11, at 2:15 p.m.
 
 
Begin planning; use the Start of Semester Checklist to get a head start on your future courses.
 
With a joy for teaching,
 
Sara Marcketti, Director 
Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching

Submit course materials now for summer and fall (ISU Book Store)

It’s important for instructors to submit summer and fall semester course material requirements to the ISU Book Store now, giving bookstore staff as much time as possible to overcome any issues with sourcing or shipping. Materials — which could include textbooks, courseware, eBooks, course packets, manuals, open educational resources, or subscriptions — will be listed for the course on AccessPlus. Instructors should submit selections to their department coordinator as soon as possible. Contact Carl Arbuckle, course materials buyer (carabuc@iastate.edu, 294-0236), or John Wierson, digital course materials buyer (jwwiers@iastate.edu, 294-3501), with questions.
