• UTAL Course Goals

    The following are the UTAL 5000 course goals as they were stated in the syllabus for the previous offering of the course:

    • To widen your repertoire of teaching and assessment methods, and provide opportunities for you to consider how to adapt them to teaching in your own discipline.
    • To increase your understanding of teaching and learning processes so that you can make appropriate and informed decisions about course design and choice of teaching, learning and assessment methods.
    • To support you in experiencing a variety of teaching strategies and in giving and receiving constructive feedback on teaching.
    • To foster habits of reflection and life-long learning in teaching development.

    The following are the goals as they appear on the current UTAL 5000 Syllabus.

    • To enhance your understanding of teaching and learning processes as a basis for making decisions about course design and for selecting particular teaching, learning and assessment methods in various instructional situations.
    • To build a broad repertoire of teaching and assessment methods, and to consider how to adapt them to teaching in your particular discipline.
    • To develop the attitude and habits of a reflective practitioner in education.
