Description

Please join us for a workshop focused on revising student assignments to increase student success. In this workshop, we will learn how to use a research-based assignment template to create more transparent and aligned assignments and make learning processes more explicit and accessible for students. Findings from a large-scale study provide evidence that transparent assignments enhance student success-- especially for low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented college students (Winkelmas, Bernacki, Butler, Zochowski, Golnice & Harriss Weavil, 2016).
