How do we know what our students know? What they don’t know? What and how much they’ve learned? How do we know if our teaching has had an impact on students’ learning?

Thoughtfully designed assessment practices can provide both a window into the diverse ways in which course content is understood (and misunderstood) by our students and a guide for future teaching decisions.

Co-facilitated by Julie Timmermans, Instructional Developer with the Centre for Teaching Excellence, and Gordon Stubley, Associate Dean, Teaching, this session will help participants to

  • identify a significant concept, bottleneck, or threshold concept in their course, and
  • develop a strategy for assessing students’ developing understanding of this concept.

All Waterloo Engineering faculty members, sessional instructors, and teaching assistants are encouraged to attend — registration is not required. Refreshments will be provided. Please contact Kathy Becker if you have any questions about this event.
