This workshop focuses on developing assessments designed to help students achieve the learning objectives of your class. We'll examine different types of assessments and consider their strengths and downsides in the context of your course. Attendees will develop sample assessments that are appropriate for their learning objectives, with a focus on long-term learning goals

This workshop explores different types of student motivation, and how we as educators can help students make the best use of it during our classes. This can help students find more intrinsic motivation to excel in their assignments and coursework, and to feel more confident in taking responsibility for their own learning.

This workshop aims to increase your repertoire of in-class activities. Come learn a few techniques in this workshop, and also learn how to find even more techniques.

Whether your courses rely on more traditional multiple-choice exams, or are writing intensives, or assign students creative projects, giving valuable feedback is essential for their growth and learning. We will discuss different features of valuable feedback, and practice giving students feedback at different course/ability levels.

This workshop ties the topics of the previous workshops together by discussing and crafting a syllabus for your newly designed course. We focus on the necessary logistical information for the syllabus, items to include to set student expectations, syllabus language and tone, and how to craft a course schedule with assessments, readings, and other ancillary materials.
