Rolling deadlines starting September 20th until October 4th
TABS (Teaching Analysis By Students) provides part-time faculty members a free and confidential opportunity to assess pedagogical strengths and weaknesses at the mid-point of the fall or spring semesters using the same instrument that is used for UNO’s course evaluations. This is a great way to preview UNO’s course evaluation and discuss your course with a teaching consultant.
I encourage you to share and discuss these two easy-to-read documents with your students. Establishing good communication with students may increase their success and reduce the number of student emails you receive.
For a comprehensive list of teaching support resources – visit the Part-time Teaching tab on the CFE webpage.
Our students have unique stories, experiences, and challenges. The UNO Care Team helps students address these challenges. Its goal is to connect students with appropriate resources, address concerns, and keep the campus safe.
If a student has quit coming to class, exhibits a change in behavior, shares a distressing situation, or appears to be crisis, please refer them to the Care Team using this report form. If you have questions, refer to Care Team Reporting Tips for Faculty.
The Office of Hardship and Resiliency Support is another important resource for you to share with students. This unit provides support using trauma-informed practices for students who have experienced the foster and/or justice system, have parents who are incarcerated, or are pregnant or parenting.
This fall, over 15,000 students chose UNO as the institution where they will make their dreams a reality. Most of these individuals are full-time (11,000), undergraduate (12,000) students. Nearly half are first-generation students, and we have a growing number of international students.
Just over 2,000 faculty and staff have made it their life’s work to help students succeed. As a part-time faculty member, your interactions with students – offering kind and guiding words, re-explaining a concept, checking in when they miss class or an assignment, connecting them to services – helps to retain students, move them toward a timely degree completion, and ultimately achieve their dream.
