Tuesday 15 December

The second year slump was a well known phenomenon before the COVID-19 pandemic struck. The timing of the academic year in Australia means that our second year students will be starting 2021 in a fairly unique position. Those not affected by the travel ban experienced the briefest flicker of normal campus life before remote learning was forced upon them. Those who were unable to travel may never have set foot on the campus. The experiences of these students in 2020 means that re-connection and re-engagement with their studies is even more important for this group than ever.

This workshop is aimed at Second Year Coordinators but is open to all coordinators and educators, including those who support staff and students. It will cover:

• Re-engagement and the unique role of second year coordinators in 2021
• Developing a sense of belonging, community and purpose
• Student panel on their experiences in 2020 and their expectations and fears for 2021
• Faculty / school based breakout sessions with first year coordinators

Further information and background reading on the second year slump is available in Teaching@Sydney. This is an online session on online assessment, held via Zoom.
