Download iCal FileThe CATE Seminar Series features the work of UIC instructors who are investigating how their teaching practices impact the learning experiences of their students in their courses. In this session, participants will hear from scholars about their research findings in the first hour. In the second half hour, participants in-person will be able to consult with CATE staff on how to apply the scholars’ teaching strategies, research methodology, and/or research findings to their own practice and research. All faculty, staff, graduate students and postdocs are welcome to attend. Light refreshments will be provided at the session.
Speaker: Sajna Razi, Marketing
Title: Marketing Technologies in Business Education
Abstract: This qualitative action research study examines international undergraduates’ perceptions and utilization of instructor feedback on their writing in an effort to improve student writing skill development by more effectively aligning feedback with its uptake. Classroom artifacts that are an established part of the course, such as writing assignment rubrics, self-review checklists, and reflective journal entries, will be collected and analyzed in order to trace the feedback cycle throughout students’ writing process. Findings will be used by instructors to examine their current feedback practices and how they might more effectively align these practices with student expectations and uses of constructive feedback.
Format: This seminar will be in a synchronous-distributed format. It is an on-campus, in-person event with option to join online via live streaming.
Inclusion and Accessibility Information: CATE is committed to making events as accessible as possible. CATE’s in-person events typically involve a combination of presentation and discussion-based activities. We welcome ASL interpreters, note-takers, and accompanying assistants to in-person CATE events. The TEB is wheelchair accessible with an elevator to the second-floor space. The TEB space is equipped with fixed-height tables that are moveable and can be reconfigured. There are single-occupancy, all-gender, accessible bathrooms on the second and basement levels of TEB. CATE’s online events are delivered through Zoom, will use Zoom auto-captions, and may include breakout rooms and group discussion. Sessions will use Zoom projected with the Zoom into the physical space. The TEB space also has built-in ceiling microphones throughout the room so Zoom attendees can hear the session facilitators and conversation from in-person attendees. If you have any accessibility questions, requests, or to coordinate accommodations, please contact the CATE team at teaching@uic.edu.
