The Coulter Faculty Commons is offering a unique professional development opportunity this December.
Are you planning a course you have never taught before, or planning to make major revisions to a current or former course?
Get a major headstart during our upcoming Course (Re)Design Sprint, where you put the work into workshop.
You will do:
Guided course-prep work that touches on many essentials, including:
-
- Writing measurable student learning outcomes and course descriptions
- Mapping assessments to fit learning goals and course content
- Fine-tuning effective assignment descriptions
- Devising course policies
- Communicating course expectations
- Evaluating how AI does or does not fit into your course.
You will get:
A roadmap for designing a course with meaningful learning experiences
-
- Time to outline each element
- Immediate feedback from facilitators and colleagues
- Coffee & lunch
You will leave with:
-
- A solid draft of your syllabus & course information document.
This two-day intensive is conveniently scheduled for the week after finals, so you can actually get some rest during winter break.
Anyone in the teaching community is welcome to submit an application. Want to chat beforehand to see if this is a good fit for you? Contact Anabel Livengood to discuss details.
