Description
In case you missed this session at the 2025 Assessment Institute, we are offering this wonderful session again...
A large (135 student) course underwent systematic improvement over a 6-year span. This improvement was accomplished using feedback and introducing active learning. The improvement also included exploring the positive impact of active learning on mental health. This process successfully improved student evaluation scores to a 5.0 average.
