suggestions for introducing the course content.

test anxiety, tips on administering the test and providing students with meaningful feedback on their
exams.

Ending On A High Note
While the first day of class is important in terms of setting the tone and creating a positive learning environment, the last day(s) of class is equally important and can provide an opportunity for students to reflect on their learning. This workshop will provide suggestions for bringing meaningful closure to your classes.
Program-Level Outcomes and Assessment
The intent of this workshop is to extend the work many faculty have accomplished in developing measurable outcomes with assessment practices in their courses to the program level.
