Dear International Students of UPEI:
My name is Ye (Connie) Ding. As a part of my master’s degree in the Faculty of Education, I am conducting a study focusing on how international students utilize rubrics to support learning in the context of higher education that they are not familiar with. This study has been reviewed and received ethics clearance through the University of Prince Edward Island Research Ethics Board (Ref No: 6009055).
I am recruiting international students who come from countries outside North America and use English as a second language. In addition, they must have completed at least one semester of study and have experienced rubrics in at least one course. One-on-one online interviews with 60 minutes for each one will be conducted. A water bottle ($25 value) will be offered to each participant as an honorarium for participating in the interview.
Participation in this study is voluntary and there are no known or anticipated risks to your participation in this study. If you are interested in participating into this study, please contact me (yding4610@upei.ca) or my supervisor, Dr. Tess Miller (902-620-5072; tsmiller@upei.ca).

Crows on campus know if you have food or something that looks like food.
- NEVER FEED the crows or drop food on the ground. This includes food wrappers.
- KEEP FOOD HIDDEN inside a bag or backpack. Do not just carry a food container. Crows can smell it!
- Should a crow start to attack you, WAVE YOUR HANDS and forcefully shoo them away and continue your walk. That way the crow will learn that it's not productive to show this type of behaviour.
If everyone on Campus is consistent in dealing with the crows, hopefully, we will all be able to enjoy our beautiful PEI summer outside!
