Listen to lectures given by colleagues during the Symposium Days
|
| Would you like to attend a lecture again, but without the stress of an exam afterwards? The FSW is organising two symposium days to give lecturers the chance to practise delivering a lecture. Delivering lectures is not normally part of their job description, but it is a requirement for their BKO. Help them by simply dropping in and listening on 6 July and/or 24 August. |

Are you looking for an easier way to send thesis grades and feedback to students? It is now possible to send the student form containing the final grade and feedback on a thesis directly to the student from the thesis assessment tool. When you open the completed assessment from your dashboard, you will now see a green button labeled “Send student form to student”. This sends the PDF of the student form to the student via email. As the first examiner, you’ll get a cc of this email, so you’ll have confirmation that it was received.
