SUMMARY:Effective Syllabus Design
LOCATION:Smith Center for Undergraduate Education (CUE)
DESCRIPTION:Effective Syllabus Design: Research and Best Practices for Increasing Academic Rigor and Performance without Harming Your Course Evaluations\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop will address faculty concerns regarding syllabus design from two distinct but complimentary research-based perspectives.\n\nMany faculty would like to increase the rigor of their courses, but fear doing so would necessarily harm their teaching evaluations. In this workshop, Dr. Tom Tripp will present new, published evidence that debunks this relationship and show how certain aspects of course and syllabus design actually can simultaneously increase both rigor and teaching evaluations by improving students' perception that the course is run fairly.\n\nFaculty attention to student perception is particularly important when teaching students who are first in their family to attend college and who are actively working to understand and respond to university expectations. Dr. Anna Plemons will share research that suggests that syllabus design can positively affect student perceptions of faculty without increasing faculty workload.\n\nWe will share best practices for syllabus design based on these two lines of research and provide real-time support for participants as they apply those best practices to their own disciplinary context.\n\n
