Visit the Grading Oasis Next Week!

Want to grade papers in a large naturally-lit room? Interested in working in a space that includes colleagues from other department? Break out of your office and swing by the Grading Oasis next week in MLIB 459 (a dedicated space for all faculty including lecturers). This room has a top-floor scenic view of campus with a panoramic outlook over the rose garden (see flyer below). Next week (Dec 11-15), there will be hot coffee and snacks for you from 8-5. Additionally, you can request grading on-site assistance from our FDEV student assistant, Ariana, on Mon 8-5, Wed 8-11, or Fri 8-5 (as long as she doesn’t see any student names with grades).

Hope to see you next week!
