Bill Germano and Kit Nicholls will lead faculty in a discussion of how we set goals for our students and ourselves when we craft a syllabus.

Please come prepared to exchange ideas and questions about how we use syllabi in our seminars, studios, labs, or lectures.

For the Zoom link write to Pamela Newton.

Bill and Kit's book, Syllabus, The Remarkable, Unremarkable Document That Changes Everything is our this month from Princeton University Press. In Syllabus, William Germano and Kit Nicholls take a fresh look at this essential but almost invisible bureaucratic document and use it as a starting point for rethinking what students—and teachers—do. What if a teacher built a semester’s worth of teaching and learning backward—starting from what students need to learn to do by the end of the term, and only then selecting and arranging the material students need to study?
