Description
Many of our instructors tell us that they wish they had been provided guidance in developing a syllabus before they taught their first course. In this workshop, we'll begin to develop a syllabus for the course of your choosing. We will discuss the importance of learning outcomes and interactively explore tools to help craft them. The development of thoughtfully designed learning outcomes will then guide participants in subsequently creating quality learning activities, assignments and, finally, assessments for the course. Other tips and advice for syllabus development and examples of good and bad syllabus construction will be discussed.
