Syllabus Workshops
2:15 PM to 4:45 PM, Bede Ballroom
Developing Learning Outcomes
What do we want students to be able to do when they complete our courses? How can we connect these outcomes to our course design and classroom activities? In this workshop, participants will compare several frameworks for developing learning outcomes, and discuss how to map these objectives within a specific course and across an academic program.
The Power of the Syllabus
Your syllabus is one of the most important documents you create for your class, serving as an agreement between you and your students. It conveys a first and lasting impression of you and the course you've designed while it shares your beliefs about teaching. Most importantly, it can help students succeed in your class! In this interactive workshop you will be exploring ways to maximize the power of the syllabus as a tool for increasing student success. BRING TWO COPIES OF A SYLLABUS FROM ONE OF YOUR COURSES!!
