Join this workshop to learn about Bullet Journal (Ryder Carroll) strategies to create a comprehensive and individualized journaling system for tracking your thesis progress. There is no official journal/notebook that you must use in order to have a bullet journal. You can bring any journal that works for you. That said, there are benefits to using a graph-ruled or dot-grid-ruled notebook, given that you will be establishing your own layout and designing works easier when you have something to go by. Bullet journals can be incredibly sparse or decorative, so please bring whatever supplies you'd like.

As high as 82% of individuals experience the imposter phenomenon throughout their careers (Bravata et al., 2019). The imposter phenomenon, a term coined by Clance & Imes (1978), is the “subjective experience of perceived self-doubt in one's abilities and accomplishments compared with others, despite evidence to suggest the contrary” (Walker & Saklofske, 2023). More recent interpretations of this experience shift the focus from “fix-the-individual” to “fix-the-institution” with the concept of imposterization – institutional policies, practices, and interactions that make individuals question their intelligence, competence, and sense of belonging (Gutiérrez & Cole, 2023).

As a part of the Resilient Classroom series, you will learn in this in-person session how to:

Identify the characteristics of the imposter phenomenon as experienced by instructors

Describe how impostorization manifests in academia (e.g., microaggressions, grateful guest syndrome, invisibility and inclusion taxations)

Explain the factors that contribute to the imposter phenomenon and imposterization in academia (e.g., systemic discrimination, gender)

This session will provide a safe space to share personal experiences if you wish. We will collectively brainstorm strategies to better prevent and mitigate the impacts of the imposter phenomenon, as well as first steps to chip away at the structural and systemic factors that perpetuate imposterization in academia.

This session introduces generative artificial intelligence (genAI) to instructors and teaching assistants with limited experience. We'll cover what genAI is and how it works, giving you a foundation for thinking about how it might shape your interactions with students and the design of activities and assignments in your own courses.

The second half of the session is dedicated to basic prompting techniques, with hands-on practice creating teaching materials, so you can start imagining how AI might support parts of your teaching labour.

This is a dual-delivery session—attend in person or join online. If attending in person, bring a laptop if you’d like to participate in the hands-on activities. All participants, whether in person or online, should have ready access to an AI tool before the session; we recommend Microsoft Copilot Chat, given our institutional access to this tool.

This workshop explores how generative artificial intelligence is reshaping assessment design. We'll draw on broad strategies for responding to genAI's impact on teaching and assessment such as relational and transparent pedagogies, an emphasis on process over product, and attention to contextual specificity. Throughout the session, we'll also learn from your experiences navigating these challenges.

We can't AI-proof an assessment, but we can make it more resilient to misuse. To that end, we'll look at strategies for designing assessments that align with learning outcomes, feel authentic and relevant to students, and are resistant to its misuse.

Come prepared to think through a specific learning outcome you'd like to assess or an assignment you're interested in revising, so you can apply these strategies directly to your own teaching context.

It’s the end of the term. You may have spent some time in the last 12 weeks thinking about genAI (whether you wanted to or not):

"My students are misusing AI — what should I do?"

"Can AI make my job easier?"

"Where's the line between requiring AI use and respecting students who resist it?"

"Am I falling behind if I'm not using AI?"

Come together to share, vent, problem-solve, and connect with other instructors.

This session will focus on you and your thoughts, ideas, and concerns. The facilitator will not be bringing their computer or doing a presentation—it’s just a chance to be together and listen to each other.
