Review Groups

When reviewing each others' courses and activities, you might keep the following questions in mind:

• Do the course components and activities fully address the stated goals?
• Does the course/activity have a mechanism for engaging students and motivating their learning?
  
• Does the course/activity allow students to build from what they know, practice using new skills and concepts, and reflect on the progress they are making?
  
• Are there opportunities for timely feedback and improvement?
• Does the assessment meaningfully address the goals?
  

In addition, be sensitive to the constraints faced by your colleagues - large class size, multiple sections, lack of lab - and think about ways to overcome the challenges presented therein. You may want to refer to this outline for activity design and the course design tutorial for additional guidelines and questions for thinking about courses and activities.
