There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Imagine a world where students show up at class excited about a project they are working on, where they respond to homework prompts with ingenuity and personality, and where they thank you on your end-of-semester evaluations for the opportunities you’ve given them to create, to express themselves, to think in unusual ways, and to enjoy your course.
In this workshop we will explore a variety of alternative approaches to course assessments, in hopes we can inspire you to make small changes that may have big impact on how your students engage with their coursework. Drawing on examples from your Georgia Tech colleagues, we will focus on ways to give students choice when the method doesn’t matter as much as the content, and ways to move them toward deeper learning and application of concepts, without entirely re-inventing your course.
