WAI Application

Applications for the 2018 Waterloo Assessment Institute closed Dec 1, 2017. Any new applications will be considered for the as-yet-unscheduled 2019 Institute. Thanks for your interest!

Team or Individual
Please indicate whether you applying as an individual instructor redesigning an assignment, or as a team leader bringing people to redesign a linked assignment or assignments across courses or sections.
Please add your team members' names and email addresses (one per line). Include only those who plan to attend the WAI in person.
Tell us about your goals for redesigning an assignment at the WAI. Please also provide context for the assignment and course. Consider year level, class size, additional supports (TAs, other resources), outcomes touched on (course and program if applicable).
If you are coming as a team, please let us know briefly what kind of curricular integration you plan. Will it involve one assignment across several sections with different instructors? Or linked assignments in a term across different courses? Or perhaps linked assignments across terms/year levels in different courses? What are you trying to achieve in integrating an assignment or assignments across courses and/or terms? Consider course and program outcomes to which the assignment(s) will contribute.

Endorsement of Program or Curriculum Chair
For teams integrating an assignment or assignments, we encourage you to see this as a multi-year project that aligns closely with the outcomes and overall goals of your program. We strongly recommend you discuss this project with your Chair and/or the chair of your program’s curriculum committee (if applicable).
