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
*********************************
Generation Z has arrived and is in your classroom! This generation believes that grades and learning matter. However, this generation is also experiencing unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness—and therein lies a challenge. How do we uphold disciplinary standards and at the same time help these students succeed? How do we help students become “more comfortable” with thinking under pressure, struggling to make sense of concepts, and taking risks that lead to learning?
Generation Z is driven by different motivations, characteristics, and concerns than previous generations—and understanding their mindset and goals can help us make sense of how to educate them. Join your colleagues to learn more about Generation Z—and find out about specific assessment and grading practices that are helping this generation move forward.
