What we do

QR Fellows support faculty in their work to improve students’ QR in the following ways:

• Course Materials: QR Fellows design QR projects across the disciplines, which enable students to develop their QR skills. (see Sample QR Projects)
• Course Assessment: QR Fellows work with faculties in developing course assessment and evaluation system.
• Workshops: QR Fellows run workshops to help students practice QR skills during City Tech’s club hour (Thursdays 1-2pm). Workshop topics include but are not limited to

             MS Excel Basics      Finance: Consumer Math       Logical Reasoning        Geometry                 Measurement                         Statistics

• Surveys: QR Fellows conduct surveys on MAT1190 and QR workshops; students’ feedback is documented and made available to instructors.

All City Tech faculties are eligible to work with a QR Fellow. Faculties may work one-on-one with a QR fellow to incorporate QR into their curriculum. If you are interested in working with a QR Fellow, please contact the QR program coordinators, Prof. Nadia Benakli (NBenakli@CityTech.Cuny.Edu)
