Introduction to student centered course design 1600-SZD-SPEC-ISC-PS
In this course you will learn how to design a course and plan learning experiences for students. This is an applied course; you will be working on designing a course that you may teach in the future, or work on redesigning a course you have been teaching already. Course design principles will be introduced and explained, and will be practiced both in class and in the form of assignments. The result at the end is that you will be able to design courses in which students achieve the learning goals you set, through meaningful learning experiences, making use of the appropriate methods of teaching and assessment.
