Hello,

The virtual UTSA Honors College Experiential Learning Fair is back! We would be honored to have you as a judge. The judging is asynchronous, on your own time, over a week period (Nov 15-21), and no longer than 1.5 hours total. Additional details are at the end of the email.

If you could, please RSVP yes or no by Friday, November 5, by clicking here.

Please share this invitation with other UTSA faculty and staff that might be interested. We invite anyone who works at UTSA to be a judge, aside from undergraduates who would be peers. 

If I can answer any questions, do not hesitate to be in touch.

Thank you for the consideration,

Jill

FALL 2021 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 15 – Sunday, November 21. 

· Time commitment is approximately 15 minutes per student project.

Interested and available? Thank you! Please RSVP here. If you RSVP yes, instructions and links will land in your inbox the Friday before judging begins.
