ABSTRACT

SO FAR IN OUR course design process, you have outlined your student learning factors, course goals, and a summative assessment that is aligned with one of those goals. You can think of your work thus far as articulating the starting point and the ultimate destination of your course. The student learning factors describe who and where your students are at the beginning of your course, the course goals describe where you ultimately want your students to be, and your summative assessment is designed to inform you and your students on the extent to which they’ve actually arrived there by the end of the course.
