Does your syllabus chronology help your students build their skills?

In our second session, you’ll learn how to use the assessments we developed in the first session to design or update your course syllabus. You’ll understand better how to connect the sequence of your course with the course’s stated learning outcomes, and how to make those connections clear to students. We will talk through how to evaluate whether or not the assignments you’re giving your students effectively determine your students’ abilities, and we will practice this using one specific learning outcome that is common to most journalism courses: pitching a data story.
