Session 2, 11:45–12:30: Discussion (small groups)

• Examine sample syllabi and assignments: Galey, Tomasek, Walsh, Whitacre, Chiodo, Birnbaum, Ullyot
• What is the role of data modeling in a humanities curriculum? Why teach TEI? What pedagogical outcomes are we looking for?
• How do we contextualize TEI within the course?
• How do we evaluate and grade work of this kind? Are we grading the process or the product?
• How does teaching TEI fit in with our institutional and departmental agendas? How does this affect assessment? What role does TEI play in our students' academic and professional development?
