The biggest note today is one of gratitude for all the effort, flexibility, time, and generosity that it took on all sides to launch remote instruction today. It’s a big lift for teachers and learners and for the workers who made it float.
Grading For This Semester
There has been much discussion across higher education and legal education, within our University, among our faculty, and among our students about grades for this semester. Everyone is thinking about the possibility and contours of P/F grading. Our Academic Affairs Committee began this discussion today as part of our governance process and will continue at its next meeting on Monday. We have been told that there will be guidance coming from the University imminently, and we are hopeful that that will help move the process forward.
Feedback & Info Session
We’re setting up some zoom meetings for next week – one for students, one for faculty, and one for students – where you’ll have a time to hear information firsthand, ask questions, and give feedback. Look in these emails for time and place.
