Considering Course Projects
Tuesday, March 3
10鈥�11:30 a.m.
Killam Library, room B400*
Course projects can be a memorable learning experience for students, giving them the opportunity to produce a unique piece of work that integrates and applies what they鈥檙e learning in the course while developing their individual expertise on a chosen topic. If you鈥檙e developing or considering a project for one of your courses, or if you already have a course project that you鈥檙e looking to improve upon or share with colleagues, join us for a conversation about some principles and examples of successful course projects. We鈥檒l consider how to structure the work of a project, how to support students鈥� motivation to work independently on a challenging topic, and how we might evaluate the products of that work.
