SUMMARY:A syllabus worth reading
DESCRIPTION:A well-crafted syllabus can be a powerful tool that sets the stage for student success\, classroom norms\, performance expectations and student engagement. Research suggests that the tone and content of a course syllabus can directly affect students’ perception of instruction\, the choice to pursue a subsequent major\, and student-faculty interactions.  \nWe will use evidence-based approaches to collaboratively review and improve your syllabus\, making small meaningful changes. Please bring a draft of your syllabus to this workshop (even if incomplete). \nThis session is open to all faculty and graduate students seeking to make their syllabi more effective and student-centered. \nAugust 26th | 9:00am – 10:50am \nREGISTER HERE
