The UTSA Honors College Experiential Learning Fair (the “ELF”) has gone virtual, and we’d be honored to have advisors serve as judges. The judging is asynchronous, on your own time, over a week period, and it should take no longer than 1.5 hours. Additional details are at the end of the email.

If you could, please RSVP yes or no by Friday, October 30, by clicking here.

Please share this invitation with other UTSA staff and faculty that might be interested. And if I can answer any questions, do not hesitate to be in touch.

Thank you for the consideration,

And as we say around Honors these days, let’s ELF it!

FALL 2020 ELF PROCESS DETAILS

What is the ELF?

Each semester, community members and UTSA staff, faculty and graduate students serve as judges for our Experiential Learning Fair (ELF). In the “ELF,” UTSA Honors College students present significant accomplishments outside of the classroom in Service, Professional Development, Intellectual Achievement & Research, Cultural Exploration, Engaged Living, Skill Development, and Leadership. The ELF is their “final exam” to ensure that activities meet our Honors learning outcomes and ethos. We intentionally invite community members and UTSA partners to judge to make explicit our belief that education is a civic good. Student efforts in our curriculum should benefit our communities.

Virtual Judging Process. The judging process will be relatively simple:

I will send a link to each student’s project and a link to the grading rubric.
With the project link, judges examine the poster while listening to audio content
With the rubric link, judges enter student name, ID, grades, and comments.

Timing and Time Commitment:

Judging will take place asynchronously (at your convenience) Monday, November 9 – Friday, November 13.
Time commitment is approximately 15 minutes per student project.

Interested and available? Thank you! Please RSVP here.

Birds Up, Masks On!
