Just in time to start thinking about your fall classes, the CTE is offering two new mini-institutes. Teaching Large Classes (June 14 - 16) is an opportunity for participants to explore everything from techniques that promote more meaningful learning in the large class, to course redesign anchored by significant learning experiences. Course Redesign (June 28 - 30) will focus on the process of creating or redesigning a course. It will help you examine your entire course - goals and objectives, content, teaching techniques and testing methods - to help ensure you are satisfied and your students have the best possible learning experience.
