Seminar on Developing Learning Outcomes

Invitation

Evaluation

Recommendations

1.     The seminar activities most useful to my courses are:

  Discovering valuable, clear and transparent objectives, in communicating with students, organizing my ideas, avoiding redundancy and gaps

    The part of rewriting course objectives in terms of GIO's and SLO's

    Yes

    Critical thinking

    Some clarification of difference between GIO and SLO

  Discussion and refinements of my course syllabi in light of the information provided in seminar

   Handouts (slides provided), direct exercise applications

2.     The new ideas I got from the seminar are:

   To articulate objectives that not only by ability with analytic methods and problem solving, but by clear statements on the syllabus.

   Use rigor even in the simplest tasks

   GIO, SLO think of what are the component of my courses and what do I want students to come out with than organize them under GIO, SLO

   Structure is not that bad

   Learning outcomes should be focused on one outcome each

  Importance of refining course objectives and learning outcomes into more specific formulations

   How to set up objectives for a course and traning

3.     Suggestions to improve today's seminar:

    Start with description of what issues will be addressed, and what will not be addressed.

   Include more activities ( maybe a couple more)

   Don't get hanged over obtrusive comments in class that might derail the course of the seminar

    It was alright�� mind sparing

    Finish presentation faster then open floor for discussion

   Including one example ( in full) relating to a specific course and to illustrate GIOs and SLOs

    None

4.     Other comments:

    As above, maybe include a detailed description of the issues (non issues) in the instruction to prevent anyone from being confused or disappointed.

    The info in some slides appears to be more complex than it actually is.

    Change the layout of the slides (the background) good work and thank you for your time, we appreciate it

    I enjoyed it. I was not sure about this when I signed for it�. But I didn't regret it.

    I liked the facilitation and the seminar was generally useful

    Perfect topics, excellent lecturer / moderators, more and more sessions.
