At its last meeting, AAC met via Zoom with student representative Miracle Adebanjo, who communicated that the transition to online teaching has prompted a deep and widespread sense of anxiety among the student body. In most cases students did not sign up for online classes, and most faculty have little experience teaching them. Many students are attempting to finish their semesters in challenging home environments, and some will unfortunately have to cope with dire financial or health crises. Given these unprecedented circumstances, the Academic Affairs Committee strongly urges all faculty to consider student work for the remainder of this semester with the maximum amount of flexibility, generosity, and–most of all–compassion. Some examples might include:
-accepting late work with little or no penalty
-relaxing attendance and participation policies
-grading on a curve

In this episode of The Forum Podcast, Dr. Kenneth Nowack (Envisia Learning, Inc.) dives into new research on how to measure and change a key aspect of an effective company and team culture: interpersonal trust and psychological safety.
Dr. Nowack presents the latest neuroscience research around interpersonal trust and its relationship to the hormone oxytocin that provides insight about the biological survival roots of unconscious bias and in-group bias. Finally, Dr. Nowack will explore the link between high-trust teams with important employee outcomes such as retention, engagement, reduced job burnout, and well-being.

Instructors, if you are using Moodle quizzes in your online learning, you may need to manually grade (or regrade) a test or test question. This video, https://youtu.be/3akkzE0Q5i8, explains that process. Also, it is possible to accommodate students who require additional time, extend a deadline for a student, or allow a second attempt for a student with a technological issue.

Given the circumstances, AAC and GAAC will be meeting in a limited fashion over the course of the rest of the semester, primarily focusing on procedural proposals having to do with the educational changes wrought by the epidemic. This is likely to be mostly big-picture level proposals (such as changes to P/NP policy) but we may have time for easy-to-deal-with tweaks to courses or majors. Given the uncertainty facing us, we will not be able to look at proposals for new courses or programs for the rest of the year.

Final exam week is April 27 – May 1. If your course is synchronous (all students in the class meet with the instructor at the same time online), your final meeting time will take place during your scheduled final exam time. The final exam schedule is posted on the Registrar’s website: https://www.augsburg.edu/registrar/calendars/finals/
The last day of the term is May 1.
Graduate courses do not follow the final exam schedule. Graduate courses will meet at their regularly scheduled time during the last week of the term (April 27 – May 1).
If you have specific questions about requirements and due dates for your courses, please consult your instructor.

The grading option change deadline has been extended to the final day of the term, May 1, so students have the rest of the semester to decide whether to opt for a letter grade or P/N grading.
Additionally, Augsburg will make a notation on students’ transcripts for spring semester to provide context for P/N grades or lower letter grades, explaining that “Spring 2020 was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

As campuses adapt to the many changes that COVID-19 has affected on daily life, the Jed Foundation recognizes that, perhaps more than ever, faculty serve an essential role in protecting students’ mental health.
As we respond together to this situation, we would like to invite you and your school’s faculty to join us on Wednesday, April 1 from 2:00PM to 3:30PM EDT for a webinar on how they can support students in managing the stress and anxiety that has resulted in shifting instruction from the classroom to the online space.
JED’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Sofia B. Pertuz, Ph.D. will moderate a panel of experts sharing tips on how college and university faculty can provide support for their students during distance learning, while keeping in mind the needs of particularly vulnerable student populations.
If you cannot join us for the live webinar, please feel free to still register, as the webinar will be recorded and shared with registrants following the presentation.
If you have any other questions, please reach out Kyle Sebastian (JED Higher Education Programming Coordinator) for additional information.

Should the University move to alternative modes of delivery, keeping in touch with your students is vital. Use the Announcement Forum (every Moodle course has one) to regularly communicate. Posting to this forum automatically sends an email to every student in the course.

Learn about the field of podiatric medicine from five physicians as they host a “dry” suture workshop where no bio-hazard refuse is created. Space is limited so email Catherina Kipper at kipper@augsburg.edu to sign up.
Why consider a career in podiatric medicine?
• A Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) is a specialist in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of lower extremity disorders, diseases and injuries.
• DPMs can specialize in a variety of areas such as surgery, orthopedics, or public health. Besides these certified specialties, podiatrists may practice a subspecialty such as sports medicine, pediatrics, dermatology, radiology, geriatrics, or diabetic foot care.
• The DPM is a vital member of the health-care team. He or she is often the first to detect symptoms of diabetes or peripheral vascular disease because of the human foot’s interrelation with the rest of the body.

The 2019 River Journey took over 50 people on the Mississippi last fall, and connected to a large group of scholars, artists, and local practitioners involved with the elaborate Mississippi. An Anthropocene River Project, orchestrated by the Haus der Kulturen der Welt and Max Planck Institute for the History of Science. It was a rich, multifaceted experience, with multiple field-based research and arts projects, and provided us with some interesting stories (e.g. getting sprayed by a crop duster, witnessing a slave rebellion re-enactment, and spending a little time in the back of a police car). It also provided insights into new possibilities for higher education in the 21st century and suggested ways to develop curriculum that provides alternative to the multiple dysfunctions of our times. Feel free to bring your lunch and stop by OGC 100 at noon on Wed., Mar. 4th to hear more about the Anthropocene River Journey and join in discussion of way to provide similarly engaging, healing, and high-impact learning opportunities for our students.

In the event of an emergency situation caused by any number of factors, your ability to continue your class in the manner that you’ve planned may be impacted. One of the keys to continuity is clear communication with your students. Begin preparing NOW by making sure your students have downloaded the Moodle App on their smart phones and tablets. Post the following link prominently in your Moodle course and encourage your students to add it to their devices.
