TGA: Syllabus and Assignment Creation, UNLV (Fall '15)

UNLV Graduate Workshop: Syllabus and Assignment Creation. September 11, 2015.

What are the required and additional elements of a strong syllabus? How can you create winning assignments? How should syllabi and assignments be tailored for different teaching niches, such as introductory vs. more advanced undergraduate classes?

Explore answers to these kinds of central questions in this panel discussion. Panelists collectively provide input from several perspectives. These include accessing two faculty members who have taught in different departments and a PhD student who earned a teaching award in part for his innovative curricula. You can also jump to parts of the panel that you find most important to your graduate considerations.
