Details

Why do you have a syllabus? Do your students even read the syllabus? In this session, you will discuss purposes for the syllabus and how you can use it to convey your clear and concise course design, as well as some strategies to actively engage your students in the syllabus. Using the Transparency In Learning and Teaching (TILT) framework, you will revise your grading and assignments section to guide your students from day one! Please have access to a digital or paper copy of your syllabus in the session.


Register


** Registration Procedures Update **

In order for attendees to personally track their current registrations and attendance at certificate of completion workshops and events, the Center for Teaching Excellence requires that all registrants create an account in our registration system and login to register for all workshops.

 

If you have an existing training account with the Division of Human Resources, Office of Organizational and Professional Development, you do not need to create an account. You can login using your HR training username and password. By logging in to register for CTE events, your complete training record for both CTE and HR trainings will be available with a single account and login.

 

Participants must attend a workshop in its entirety to receive credit for the workshop in their training records. Late arrival and/or early exit from a workshop invalidates receiving credit. If technology issues require rescheduling of a workshop, participants must attend the workshop at the rescheduled time to receive credit. These policies apply to all CTE workshops/events, including workshops that qualify as requirements/electives for a certificate of completion.
