Description

The 2024 Waterloo Assessment Institute (WAI) will be held on Tuesday, May 28th and Thursday, May 30th at Conrad Grebel University College.

Over a two-day intensive retreat, the WAI helps individuals or teams redesign key assignments in their courses through peer feedback, consultations, and guided work time. Whether you are an individual seeking to improve an assignment, or a team seeking to link an assignment or assignments "horizontally" (across courses in a term) or "vertically" (across courses in different terms or years), WAI provides space, time, expertise, and peer feedback.

Please note, if you are attending as a team, each team member will have to register.
