In this seminar, we will learn about the importance of constructing a powerful syllabus and identifying its basic elements. We will elaborate on the process of creating an effective syllabus and defend the rationale behind the use of two innovative techniques called constructive alignment and backward design. Finally, we explain how to formulate and revise intended learning outcomes for an entire course and for each class.
Teaching methods have evolved throughout last decades. In order to learn the different possibilities that Innovative Teaching offers, this seminar will explore how each field can provide ideas that can be applied in other areas. In this way, both participants and assistants will improve their knowledge concerning to how to teach and how to create a better environment in the class, in which students play a more dynamic role. These activities will be held mainly by predoc and postdoc fellows of RCC.
