    <div>Dear Colleagues,<br>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>As you
     transition to online teaching and your students to online learning, 
    please remember that the Faculty Development Center staff are here to 
    support you!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong><u>Webpage Resources</u></strong></div>
    <div>
    <div>We continue to add resources 
    for adapting coursework to online 
    teaching and learning to our <strong><a href="https://fdc.umbc.edu/resources/keep-on-teaching/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Keep on Teaching webpage</a></strong> (see the "<strong><span>NEW!</span></strong>" tags). We are also working on a <a href="null" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>Keep on Grading subpage</strong></a> that will be linked soon (link added 3/26/2020).<br>

    <strong><u>Adjusted Syllabus</u></strong> <strong><u><br></u></strong>
    </div>
    <div>As
     we all adjust to this difficult time, remember that caring for your 
    students and yourself are top priority. Rethinking your course design 
    and expectations can help. Consider the ideas one professor at UNC 
    Chapel Hill voiced in his "adjusted syllabus" below.</div>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <div><u><strong>Study Tips for Students</strong></u></div>
    <div>The
     Academic Success Center has adapted a great resource for students on 
    adjusting their study habits for the new online situation. You can find 
    it on their <a href="https://lrc.umbc.edu/files/2020/03/ASC-Academic-Resources-COVID-19.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">webpage</a>. Consider sharing it with your students.</div>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <u><strong>Consultations</strong></u><br>
    </div>
    <div>You
     can request a phone, email, or virtual consultation with the FDC to 
    discuss strategies for adapting elements of your course to an online 
    environment
     in a way that meets course learning outcomes by emailing <a href="mailto:fdc@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">fdc@umbc.edu</a> or any of us. For any technical questions about how to use Blackboard or other online teaching tools, please see DoIT's <a href="https://doit.umbc.edu/itnm/academic-continuity/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Academic Continuity</a> and <a href="https://doit.umbc.edu/itnm/academic-continuity/available-tools-resources/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Available tools &amp; resources</a> pages, or <a href="https://doit.umbc.edu/request-tracker-rt/doit-myumbc-blackboard/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">submit an RT ticket through myUMBC Help</a>. <br>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Please feel free to reach out for support or just to let us know how you're doing. We're with you in this!<br>

    <strong>        Adjusted Syllabus<br>        Spring 2020<br>        Brandon Bayne<br>        UNC - Chapel Hill<br><br>Principles<br></strong><br>1.  Nobody signed up for this.<br><ul>
    <li>Not for the sickness, not for the social distancing, not for the sudden end of our collective lives together on campus</li>
    <li>Not for an online class, not for teaching remotely, not for learning from home, not for mastering new technologies, not for varied access to learning materials</li>
    </ul>2.  The humane option is the best option.<br><ul>
    <li>We are going to prioritize supporting each other as humans</li>
    <li>We are going to prioritize simple solutions that make sense for the most</li>
    <li>We are going to prioritize sharing resources and communicating clearly</li>
    </ul>3.  We cannot just do the same thing online.<br><ul>
    <li>Some assignments are no longer possible</li>
    <li>Some expectations are no longer reasonable</li>
    <li>Some objectives are no longer valuable</li>
    </ul>4.  We will foster intellectual nourishment, social connection, and personal accommodation.<br><ul>
    <li>Accessible asynchronous content for diverse access, time zones, and contexts</li>
    <li>Optional synchronous discussion to learn together and combat isolation</li>
    </ul>5.  We will remain flexible and adjust to the situation.<br><ul>
    <li>Nobody knows where this is going and what we’ll need to adapt</li>
    <li>Everybody needs support and understanding in this unprecedented moment</li>

    <p>First off, I hope all of you are doing well and staying
    healthy amidst the unique circumstances we are all currently facing. I am
    emailing you to ask you to be on the lookout for an email from your faculty
    adviser in the coming weeks regarding advising and registration clearance for
    next semester. If they have not done so already, your political science faculty
    adviser should be emailing you soon regarding how they will be conducting
    advising sessions during advising season. If you do not currently have a faculty
    adviser in the Political Science department or are unsure of who your adviser
    is, please feel free to email me at <a href="mailto:polisciadvising@umbc.edu">polisciadvising@umbc.edu</a>. Although campus
    is closed, I will still be teleworking, so I will do my best to respond to any
    advising questions you may have as quickly as possible.</p>

<Title>Digital Advising Sign-ups</Title>
<Tagline>A new online adventure for you</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Hello all,<div><br></div>
    <div>I hope that you are doing as well as can be expected given the roller coaster of the last week.  </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>First: take care of yourselves, be calm, and please please please do not hesitate to ask ANY questions you have.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Second: we're taking our advising online next week.  Here's the plan.  My Google calendar is open with many appointments each day. When you sign up for an appointment, indicate in the comments box if you'd prefer email, old-fashioned telephone, chat, or videochat (the latter two via Google hangouts).  I will then email, call or send a Google link to connect the chat/video chat at your scheduled time.  </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>If you need a time outside of these hours (I am suddenly able to be very flexible), email me here: <a href="mailto:oyen@umbc.edu">oyen@umbc.edu</a>.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>I will also be available for advising during regular digital office hours for the rest of the term, which will be posted here each week.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The link to the Google calendar is here: </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><a href="https://calendar.google.com/calendar/selfsched?sstoken=UUc1cHltUHhFSWJ0fGRlZmF1bHR8ZDY1MGM3NTg5ZmI2Njg1MjNlNDJjYmMxZTc4NWJkOTM" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://calendar.google.com/calendar/selfsched?sstoken=UUc1cHltUHhFSWJ0fGRlZmF1bHR8ZDY1MGM3NTg5ZmI2Njg1MjNlNDJjYmMxZTc4NWJkOTM</a></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>I'll also post this link on our website.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Meanwhile, follow UMBC Asian Studies on Instagram and/or Facebook.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Take care, all!</div>
