Event title: Essay Films: An Alternative Assessment Approach
Presenters: Dr. Alec Brookes, Paul Hayward

Dr. Alex Brookes sought an alternative non-paper-based assignment, and found an experience that was rewarding for students and himself. To implement a 'film essay' in his undergrad Gender Studies course, Dr. Brookes engaged Paul Hayward from CITL's media services team for support. Paul facilitated a basic video editing presentation for the class, while Dr. Brookes established the assignment requirements and provided academic support. Through this collaboration, they watched students demonstrate their learning in the most creative of ways. In this session, Dr. Brookes and Paul Hayward will highlight their key considerations when implementing this innovative assignment and share their experiences in hopes of inspiring other faculty to try something similar.

This event is part of CITL's Instructor Series. For additional CITL events, please visit our full calendar.
