Condensing a course term

hrach_susan1 — 2024-05-13 18:48:38 UTC

"As summer rolls around, many of us face the challenge of condensing our traditional 15-week courses into a more accelerated 8-week (or shorter) format.

We also need to - deliberately and explicitly - define the learning experience that students will encounter, from workload expectations to peer engagement." -- Breana Bayracktar
