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 3^rd so that we have an accurate count for lunch.
