NEW LOCATION: Each session is held from 3:30-5:00pm at the Courtyard Marriott (400 David Hollowell Dr, Newark, DE 19716). Friday roundtables are meant to foster conversation and community in an informal and relaxed environment, so we invite you to enjoy snacks as well as a selection of coffee, tea, beer and wine during our program. Parking at the Marriott is free, though spaces may be limited. 

March 6th: Making meaningful changes without totally overhauling a course. Making updates to our courses can be challenging. We don’t want to lose the true essence of the course we worked so hard to design, but how do we account for changes we want to make like the incorporation of a new learning assessment technique, a move away from high-stakes exams to a series of writing assignment, or a meaningful change the way we use in-class time for students to complete weekly group worksheets? During this session, our faculty facilitator will introduce their individual teaching and course context before presenting a short overview of how they made revisions that were purposeful, assessable, and done via reflective practice. Participants will be introduced to the CTAL resource on reflective course revision and provided with ample time to explore this tool in the context of their teaching.

Session Modality: Workshop. After a brief set-up by our facilitator, participants will be given plenty of time to review the reflective course revision worksheet and apply it to one of their own Spring courses. The session will conclude with time for Q&A as well as sharing reflections about the tool.
