Event description Join us for the last of the four-session book club to discuss The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI, by Tricia Bertram Gallant and David A. Rettinger (2025). This book “…presents a positive, forward-looking, research-backed vision for what classroom integrity can look like in the GenAI era…” (from back cover). It is chock-full of tips and useful, practical advice. Each hour-and-twenty-minute club session will focus on two chapters, with activities and prompts to guide discussion.

You are welcome to join no matter how much (or how little) of the reading you manage to get through in advance. Having attended the previous sessions is not required.

Sections covered in this session: Chapter 7 (“Infusing Ethics into Teaching and Learning”) & Conclusion

Decolonizing Assessment

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 18:00:00 GMT

This session is part of the Decolonization Workshop Series.

This four-part series invites faculty members, instructors, and teaching assistants to reflect on what it means to take a decolonial approach to teaching and learning. Drawing on Eve Tuck and K. Wayne Yang’s reminder that “decolonization is not a metaphor,” the series distinguishes decolonization from Indigenization and inclusion, and explores how colonial legacies continue to shape higher education. Together, we will consider how to reimagine virtual and in-person classroom participation, assessment practices, and our broader academic contexts in ways that are more just, relational, and responsive.

Wednesday, December 10
2–3 p.m.

Grades, rubrics, and tests often reflect Euro-Western notions of success. This workshop introduces alternative, relational, and culturally responsive approaches to evaluating learning, helping faculty critically examine whose knowledge is valued and how assessment can reinforce or challenge inequities.

Through attending this session, participants will learn to:

Recognize how traditional assessment methods reflect colonial and cultural assumptions.
Explore relational, inclusive, and culturally responsive assessment strategies.
Design evaluation practices that honor diverse ways of knowing and learning, while supporting student growth and success.

This session builds on concepts from the previous workshops but can be attended independently by anyone interested in transforming assessment practices.
