Course Design Consultation

Faculty Workshop Reflection

‌Special thanks to Dr. Chris Parker who led an interactive workshop titled “Deep Thought: Promoting Active Learning in the Classroom.” Dr. Parker explained how he used backward design to restructure a week’s worth of lessons in a microbiology class. After aligning learning objectives, student outcomes and assessments, Dr. Parker chose active learning strategies designed to encourage students to take ownership of the content. Workshop participants took part in a number of hands-on activities and discussed the challenges of shifting from a lecture-based teaching style.
