Center for Teaching & Learning

In seeking to document student learning, we often default to pre/post tests and surveys. These survey instruments can be challenging to design, to administer, and to interpret. Moreover, they do not necessarily provide us with a window into students’ experiences and may not be ‘true’ to our discipline. An alternative strategy is to approach regular course assessments as opportunities to examine student thinking and learning in our courses. In this workshop, we will explore the potential of using an evaluation mindset to create assignments for SoTL research. This is an opportunity to consider your efforts to improve student learning in the context of research on your teaching, examining outcomes and success in student learning that aligns with your course learning objectives.

This workshop is part of our SoTL Series. While sessions do build on one another, participants are welcome to attend individual sessions as well. Visit this page to view a full list of our Fall SoTL workshops.
