Would you like to increase student motivation? How about engagement? Would you like students to discover the value of your course recognize the knowledge and skills they will learn, and understand how an expert approaches your discipline? What if this could be conveyed before students even meet you? Sign up for our mini-Faculty Learning Community on the Learning-Centered Syllabus: A Course ReDesign.
A small group of interdisciplinary faculty will meet six times the Fall semester to redesign a specific course so that deeper student learning and engagement will result. We will discuss topics such as understanding student motivation, making assessment easier and fun, principles of active learning, feedback & grading, and topics of interest by FLC participants. Fun, experimentation, critical readings, and support will be key ingredients to this program.
