Comic 23 panel 2 300x295 Black Leadership in Education: Podcast Episode Live!

For this week’s episode, we interview Reggie Waterman, who is the director and founder of his own branding agency, XPRESSIVE, about the student experience as a young Black man. Although laws have been changed and attitudes adjusted, structural racism is real in Canada and it exists in our educational institutions too. Black, Indigenous, South Asian, and other minority students often experience racism and ethnocentrism on and off-campus. 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

The importance of Black Leadership in schools

Barriers faced by Black students

How you can leverage your minority status to create a killer personal brand

We interview Daina Sparling, an editor and proofreader at PFAU Academic Writing, about something students often take for granted – editing! Good writers know that the first draft is never going to be their best work. They need to put aside time to revise, edit, and proofread their work. The best writers have colleagues or professionals to provide them with insights on their work and to fix any issues. Like all art, writing takes multiple drafts to reach a level of greatness.

Thank you for joining us for the Breath In, Write Out podcast this week. Since many students are currently receiving grades back for their midterms, we thought this was the perfect time to re-run our interview with Lisa Pfau on grade appeal. We hope that this podcast helps to answer any questions you may have on grade appeal and gives you more confidence when negotiating with your TAs or Professors.

PFAU 2 panel 2 291x300 Grade Appeal: Podcast Episode Live!

For this week’s episode, we interview Lisa Pfau, the founder and CEO of Pfau Academic Writing, about how to successfully appeal a grade. Sometimes students work really hard on an assignment, but they do not get the grade they are expecting. This is usually because of a misunderstanding between the marker and the student. In these cases, it is often helpful to meet with your TA or professor to discuss the grading. These discussions are more challenging during Covid-19 because of social distancing; however, it is possible with strategies to successfully negotiate a better grade.  

 

HIGHLIGHTS

Overview of Grade Appeal Process

When to Consider a Formal Grade Appeal

Risks in Appealing Grades

Tips for Talking to Professors and TAs

PFAU 4 panel 3 287x300 Protect your Academic Integrity: Podcast Episode Live!

This week we will be interviewing Lisa Pfau, the founder and CEO of Pfau Academic Writing, about her own experiences coaching students through academic integrity issues. For students, especially international students from other countries with different expectations, it takes time to adjust to different standards of academic integrity, and failure to do so can be disastrous for some students. Academic misconduct can lead to serious consequences from verbal reprimand to notation on the transcript or even suspension from school. During COVID-19, the issue of academic misconduct has heightened since schools can no longer use exam centres and classrooms, making them more concerned about cheating, so it is even more important to do what you can to protect your own academic integrity.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

What is academic integrity?

Positive Collaboration vs Academic Misconduct

Consequences of Academic Misconduct

How to Avoid Academic Misconduct

What can you do if you have been accused of academic misconduct?
