Annotation Assignments and Activities

Instructors teaching in the Faculty of Arts & Science are invited to the upcoming Teaching in Arts & Science session on Annotation assignments and activities. Annotation, whether completed individually, in pairs, or collaboratively, offers a flexible way for students to engage deeply with texts, images, data, and other course materials. This session will highlight the pedagogical benefits of annotation-based learning and demonstrate practical approaches using tools such as Hypothesis to support interactive, purpose-driven engagement. Participants will leave with strategies for designing annotation activities and assignments that strengthen close reading, critical thinking, and evidence-based interpretation, while also creating opportunities for dialogue and community-building.

Using MarkUs for Computing and Data Science Assessments

MarkUs is an web application developed by the Department of Computer Science to support the online grading of coding and written assessments at scale. It is integrated with Quercus and currently supports both TA grading and autograding of computer code, and is available to all A&S courses. In this workshop, Professor David Liu and Donny Wong from the Department of Computer Science will introduce the MarkUs platform, walking through common workflows for instructors and students, including: enabling MarkUs through a Quercus course, setting up an assignment, submitting assignments as a student, grading submissions (as a TA/instructor), and basic autograding of code submissions. This workshop will draw examples from a wide variety of disciplines using MarkUs, including computer science, statistics, and chemistry. We hope you attend to learn about how you can use MarkUs in your classroom!

Presenters:

David Liu, Associate Professor, Teaching Stream and Associate Chair, Undergraduate, Department of Computer Science
Donny Wong, Teaching Applications Technical Lead, Department of Computer Science

Supporting Autistic Students

Instructors teaching in the Faculty of Arts & Science are invited to attend the upcoming workshop, facilitated by the University of Toronto's Accessibility Services team.

This presentation will focus on supporting students with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) under the umbrella of neurodiversity. Attendees will learn about ASD and strategies to support students with ASD. The presenters will provide suggestions for inclusive instructional design for teaching, evaluation, and crafting a syllabus. This presentation will also expand attendees' conceptualization of participation/engagement in the classroom. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions and, if time permits, actively engage in case studies. Resources will be provided at the end of the presentation.

Presenters:

Sarah Kloke, Assistant Director, Accessibility Services
Irene Sullivan, Neurological Team Lead, Accessibility Services
Reginald (Reggie) Oey, Accessible and Inclusive Learning Team Lead, Accessibility Services

Teaching in Arts & Science

Assessment Design and Academic Integrity in the Age of Generative AI

Instructors teaching in the Faculty of Arts & Science are invited to join us for an upcoming workshop on Generative AI, Academic Integrity, and Assessment Design.

This session will explore strategies for designing assessments that thoughtfully engage with generative AI, whether by inviting, allowing, or prohibiting its use. Together, we will explore how to uphold academic integrity through clear expectations, ethical framing, and inclusive assessment design. Participants will leave with practical case studies, sample syllabus language, and ideas for integrating GenAI in pedagogically sound and ethically informed ways.

For questions related to academic integrity policies, procedures, or resources, contact the Student Academic Integrity Team at sai.artsci@utoronto.ca.
