I've been feeling nostalgic lately and listening to old songs I haven't heard in years. Some songs are unbearably cheesy now…I did grow up in the 80s after all! There are still a lot of gems, though. I recently re-listened to the Bangles cover of Paul Simon's "Hazy Shade of Winter" (very fitting at the moment) and think it has aged quite well. It definitely has some 80s moments, but fewer than many of its 1988 counterparts. Unfortunately, the video did not age as gracefully as the song itself 🤣.

If you would like to give one of your courses another “listen" to see if it is standing the test of time, this is a good time to consider scheduling a facilitated course assessment (FCA). This service offers faculty the opportunity to invite a consultant from the Faculty Hub into their classroom to gather anonymous student feedback through a facilitated conversation.

Coming Up in the Faculty Hub

Beginning Monday, February 2

Join the NCFDD for the upcoming webinar, Every Career Chapter Needs a Plan, on Friday, January 30, from 2 to 3 p.m. This interactive webinar will guide you through a series of clarifying steps to identify key goals and develop a high-level plan for the current chapter of your career. This webinar is free to attend, and a login is required. Another program of interest from the NCFDD is Teaching Toolkit in the Age of AI, a 4-week virtual course to help faculty teach effectively while navigating increasing demands on their time and attention. The course offers practical tools to reduce the administrative burden of teaching while supporting meaningful student learning. Participants leave with clear strategies to help make intentional choices about how to approach AI within their teaching and institutional context. There is a fee associated with this course, and registration closes on February 26.
