Overview
Syllabus (Re)Design is a day-long interactive workshop in which Yale instructors consider the overall course design process through the lens of their syllabus: backward design, learning outcomes, assessments, and activities in and beyond class. Participants will have the opportunity to work in small groups and individually on their own syllabus for an upcoming or a future course. Questions the workshop consider include: What do I want my students to know and be able to do by the end of this course? What types of assessment will best demonstrate what students have learned? What combination of in- and out-of-class activities will create a rigorous, engaging, inclusive and transformative learning experience?
