Course Design Workshop
10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., Engineering 023
Are you rethinking a course you'll be teaching this next year? Or, are you planning
a new course soon? Or, are you interested in finding more efficient ways to
think about student assignments? Then join this discussion on ways to think
about course design to be more efficient and effective in accomplishing the
goals for your courses. During the session participants will 1) set
expectations for student learning, 2) plan assignments and class activities
that help students achieve the goals for their learning, and 3) design
assessments (exams, projects, papers) that measure students' achievement of
course goals. Participants should bring a course syllabus or ideas for new
courses to the session. Lunch will be provided. Please register by June 3rd so that we have an accurate count for lunch.
