Have you ever found yourself intellectually intrigued by how students learn in your discipline? Or have you been involved in department assessment of student learning activities that have piqued your interest? Or are you already involved in research projects that track student progress and success? If so, then consider joining this lunch discussion on the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). We’ll begin to talk about what it is, how to ask good questions, assess outcomes, and publish our work. Lunch will be provided. To register, click here
Course Design Workshop
Facilitated by the Faculty Development Center
Friday, June 8, 10:00 am -12:30 pm, 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. During lunch participants will hear from a panel of faculty about their experiences using these principles to design hybrid courses. Please register by May 31 so that we have an accurate count for lunch and materials. To Register, click here
