Articulating Course Outcomes in Area C Society and Culture

Articulating Course Outcomes in Area C Society and Culture

Date: 9 December 2008 (Tuesday)
Speaker: Dr Stephen Friedman (Fulbright Scholar, Office of University General Education)

This workshop that will help to improve the quality of the courses you are teaching by using an outcomes-based approach.  The intended outcomes for the outcomes-based workshop are as follows:

Participants will --

• recognize how their courses fit within the context of Area C Society and Culture.
• explain the importance of articulating outcomes for their GE courses.
• develop outcomes for their courses.
• discuss ways to assess the extent to which those outcomes have been achieved.
• discuss the relationship between outcomes and teaching methods.

Materials that will aid in the development of outcomes will be distributed, and the ultimate goal is that you will leave the workshop with the ability to use outcomes to improve students' learning in your courses.
