What is “backwards design” and how can I use it in my physics classes?
October 11, 2024 by Stephanie Chasteen (University of Colorado Boulder) and Lauren Bauman (PhysPort)Quick tips from the Faculty Teaching Institute about how to implement backwards design. Backwards design is a method for course planning where the instructor starts from the "end goal" or "learning objectives"--what they want their students to know--and then works backwards, designing assessment activities and learning activities that are aligned with the end goal.

How do I develop student learning outcomes for physics courses?
August 12, 2021 by Stephanie ChasteenStudent learning outcomes, or SLOs, are an explicit statement of what you expect students to learn. SLOs can be defined for a topic, course or an entire program of study. SLOs define what is expected of students and what it means to understand something, without defining how that understanding will be taught. SLOs help sharpen the focus on student learning.
