Course design: Getting started

Whether you're starting your teaching journey or creating a teaching portfolio, designing a course that promotes learning and higher-level thinking is an essential skill. This workshop, in partnership with the Office of Science Education (OSE), introduces graduate students to course design that is centered around student learning. Participants will learn to identify these elements, define alignment, create a course description, and write student-centered learning outcomes.
