Wouldn’t it be great if students walked away from each of our courses with a clear sense of how much they learned and pride in the effort they invested in their learning activities? Class assignments are one of the ways we can facilitate this kind of meaningful learning, but we don’t always take advantage of simple techniques that can transform assignments into productive challenges where students can shine! Join us and panelists Hooria Jazaieri, (Management and Entrepreneurship), Lisa Whitfield (Psychology), and Cruz Medina (English) to consider how academic rigor and challenge can be reframed through transparent course and assignment design. Feel free to bring an assignment to review in the session.
