Preparing for Spring
Student feedback from fall 2020 showed that students felt overwhelmed in some of their courses. They understandably had trouble focusing, and struggled to keep up with the workload, which in some courses seemed bigger to them than in their pre-pandemic courses.
Whether you are teaching remotely for the first time this spring or if you have already taught virtually or are looking for ways to make sure that the workload is appropriate, maintain rigor, and be responsive to student feedback, we’ve offered a collection of resources on that front here.
