Описание: A thoughtfully constructed syllabus can be transformative for your students’ learning, communicating the path they can take to succeed. This book demonstrates how, rather than being a mundane document to convey policies, you can construct your syllabus to be a motivating resource for your students that conveys a clear sense of your course’s learning goals, how they can achieve them, and makes evident your teaching philosophy and why you have adopted the teaching strategies you will use, such as discussion or group activities. Developing or revising a syllabus also presents you with a perfect opportunity to review the learning possibilities for the semester. Well-designed, it can help you stay focused on achieving the learning outcomes, as well as determine if the class is on track and whether adjustments to the schedule are needed. The authors show how, by adopting a welcoming tone and clearly stating learning outcomes, your syllabus can engage students by explaining the relevance of your course to their studies, create an all-important positive first impression of you as an instructor, and guide students through the resources you will be using, the assignments ahead, as well as clear guidance on how they will be assessed. Referred to frequently as the course progresses, an effective syllabus will keep students engaged and on task.Christine Harrington and Melissa Thomas lead you through all the elements of a syllabus to help you identify how to present key messages and information about your course, think through the impressions you want to create, and, equally importantly, suggest how you can use layout and elements such as images and charts to make your syllabus visually appealing and easy to navigate.

Описание: Julie Smith's first term of university teaching included many more PowerPoint slides than she cares to admit. But, after fifteen years of working to engage millenials and adult students more effectively shifted the paradigm for her. She learnt that there is more to student engagement than having them actively participate in class: engagement is a mindset whereby the educator has to become less of a 'sage on the stage' and more of a facilitator of active learning. Packed with hands-on, practical advice, and strategies and techniques (tech and non-tech), this book will enable educators to supercharge both student engagement and their own teaching.
