Resources for "optimal challenge"

  • Assignment and Assessment Design
    This resource aims to offer ideas centered on flexible learning through intentional design of assignments and rethinking how we assess learning.

  • Celebratory Research Poster Sessions
    To create an opportunity for students to share their projects in a poster session designed to meet educational goals. It is also an opportunity for students to celebrate each other’s accomplishments in the class.

  • Comment Card
    Use this comment card by Mark Lechner to get feedback from your students throughout the term and create a flexible learning experience.

    Try this informational interview assignment, created by Tara Immell, to help students build connections and navigate job uncertainty.

  • Template for Feedback
