Just in Time Teaching

Join us for a series of stimulating and practical discussions of timely teaching topics that explore common pre- and mid-term issues. Then close the semester by planning for a new or redesigned course. You are invited to attend any or all of the sessions. Space is limited.

We also offer ongoing Just in Time teaching tips here.

Using Classroom Assessment Techniques to Inform Your Teaching

To be effective teachers, we need to know (before the mid-term or end-of-term exam) whether our students are learning what we set out to teach them, and students need ways to assess whether they are keeping up with those expectations. This session will introduce practical tools you can use to measure how things are going as you strive to engage students in meaningful learning.
