Assessing student learning with Midterm Course Evaluations
Conducting a Midterm Course Evaluation is a valuable method for improving instruction. Midterm Course Evaluations are an excellent way to receive feedback about what is helping students to learn course material and what other strategies would help them to learn more effectively.
Community Based Learning
Community Based Learning (CBL) is a pedagogical approach that intentionally links what is being taught in the classroom to the surrounding communities. Also check out community engagement through the Office of Civic and Community Engagement.
Educational Technologies
Through the use of technology, students can work creatively and collaboratively to produce content that is relevant and applicable to learning goals. By creating content, students transfer learned knowledge into an applicable product that demonstrates higher learning skills.
