Transparent Assignment Design

Facilitated by: Bill Reynolds, billY Gunnels, Eric Otto & Jason Elek

We invite you to join us in the Lucas Center (Lib 221) for an interactive session on transparent assignment design. Research strongly suggests that students are best equipped to respond effectively to assignments when directions are transparent about 1) the purpose of the assignment, 2) the task(s) students must complete, and 3) the criteria upon which the assignment will be assessed. This session will introduce an approach to transparent assignment design, and we will share a rubric that will aid you in assessing current assignments and constructing future ones.

The Lucas Center for Faculty Development

The Lucas Center supports activities that help you grow as a teacher. Most of our topics and programs are the result of feedback from the FGCU faculty community perception of needs. Our Center offers creative learning experiences focused in the areas of teaching, learning, assessment and scholarship. Watch for e-mails announcing activities that may interest you. Our goal is to be a consistent source of support to faculty by providing activities that are engaging, inspiring, practical, and useful. Stop by to say hello and see our wonderful space in LIB 221, affectionately known as “The Living Room.”
