This week:
Starting the Semester Successfully: Syllabus and Course/Class Sequence
Matthew Garrett, Professor and UCITE Director
Jenny Hadingham, Instructor and UCITE Associate Director
Join UCITE to explore the role(s) of a course syllabus in helping students to learn. What is a syllabus, anyway? Do you want to create syllabi that are more useful for, and used by, your students? Do you want your syllabus to reflect your student-centered or active learning teaching approach? Are you beginning to feel like the central purpose and goals of your course are getting lost in a growing list of policies and minor details? Does your work involve supporting instructors with designing or redesigning their courses or syllabi? We'll also consider a class "template" to help students better organize taught knowledge and skills in the context of one class period.
