Designing Engaging Assignments

Date/Time: 
March 28, 2012 - 2:30pm
Where: 
North Campus, Room D236

Tired of marking that assignment you have given for two semesters in a row?

Discouraged by the lack of time and energy your students are putting into their work?

Sometimes all you need is a new approach and some colleagues to help inspire you.

In this workshop we rethink our approach to evaluation in hands on fashion. Starting from the premise that testing does not necessarily mean tests and that assignments should extend knowledge not just involve its repetition, we consider how to design and develop engaging evaluation procedures. Bring an assignment you would like to revamp to this session, as we workshop new ways of approaching evaluation.

Facilitator: Wendy O’Brien, School of Liberal Arts and Science
