Virtual Panel on Alternative Student Assessments

November 13, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST

The Office of Academic Affairs is pleased to announce a Virtual Panel on Alternative Student Assessments on November 13, 2020, from 2:00 to 3:00 pm, ET.

As you know, a University-wide task force of faculty and staff was convened in early 2020 to study and propose recommendations on a remote proctoring solution for exams offered online. While recognizing that some programs and courses that utilize traditional exams may need a solution for online proctoring, the task force recommended that whenever possible, alternative methods of assessment should be the default method at CUNY.

In this webinar, a panel of CUNY faculty experienced in the use of alternative student assessments will:

  • share some of the alternative methods of student assessments they’ve used
  • offer advice on moving from exams to alternative methods of assessment
  • share tips for the implementation and use of alternative methods of assessment
  • answer questions from participants

The panel of experts will feature:

  • Linda Bradley, Assistant Professor, New York City College of Technology, Department of Nursing
  • Romi Kher, Assistant Professor, Baruch College, Department of Management
  • Amit Mehrotra, Assistant Professor, New York City College of Technology, Department of Hospitality Management
  • Rifat Salam, Associate Professor and Deputy Chair, BMCC, Department of Social Science, Human Services and Criminal Justice

The panel will be held via Zoom at https://cuny.zoom.us/j/81651931529. RSVPs are not required.  Please note that the maximum number of participants is 1,000; entrance to the webinar will be granted on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Please share this invitation widely. We hope that you and your colleagues will join us for what is sure to be an informative panel and a lively discussion.

Thank you to Annemarie Nicols-Grinenko, University Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs, for her efforts to organize this webinar as well as to curate alternative assessment resources here. Please reach out to Dr. Nicols-Grinenko ([email protected]) with any questions or concerns about this event.
