Congratulations to Dr. Zalaltdinova and Dr. Pastushenkov on being awarded a Course Innovation grant from the Office of Undergraduate Education!

We are delighted to announce that the Office of Undergraduate Education has awarded a Course Innovation grant to Dr. Liya Zalaltdinova and Dr. Dmitrii Pastushenkov, Preceptors in the Russian Language Program. This grant will support the transformation of traditional homework assignments into a fully digital, interactive format that allows students to submit their work, receive immediate feedback, and track their progress independently. The new format will not only streamline grading and feedback but also align with evidence-based practices in language pedagogy that emphasize formative assessment and self-regulated learning.
