Presentations by UTC Faculty Members
During the spring and summer of 2015, the Walker Center staff worked with UTC Faculty to identify and redesign courses across many disciplines. While the approach of each group was different, all were following the National Center for Academic Transformation's process for redesign. This showcase will allow some of the departments a chance to share what they found to be successful and what challenges may remain for these courses.
In addition to these presenters, we will have faculty from several disciplines sharing their best practices for technology in the classroom. Come see what your colleagues are doing to engage our students!
Opportunity to Learn About "Quality Matters"
The QM rubric is helpful in clarifying what a course needs in order to be successful, no matter the subject matter. Some of the areas covered include:
- clarity in the way the course begins and how to work through each of its parts
- ways the faculty member can engage the students with both the content and each other
- assessing student learning throughout the semester
