In person summer: So much time; what to do with it?

In person summer: So much time; what to do with it? Online

Summer courses that condense courses into fewer weeks while expanding the length of individual class sessions present faculty with pacing and student engagement challenges different from those faced during a regular semester. In this meeting, we will discuss using course objectives to guide content as we examine how to create classes that balance teaching with active learning, breaks, and student working time.
