Tracking Changing Learning Goals - Steve Wolfman's experience (brief version)
Account written by Steve Wolfman on the trajectory they went through in developing learning goals for CPSC 101.
Developing Learning Goals 101
How to Develop Learning Goals for an Established Course: The Computer Science Model. A document that Beth Simon put together that describes the successful process that the UBC Computer Science Department went through to establish learning goals in multiple courses.
A Glimpse into the Process of Creating Learning Goals
Script of a role-play discussion between Steve Wolfman and STLF Beth Simon. It attempts to re-enact and give the feel for the process used in the UBC Computer Science Department to create learning goals for their courses. They often started by looking at an exam question previously used in the class - and used this to stimulate discussion and refinement of the actual goals faculty had for students taking the course. The discussion is modeled from an exam question used in CPSC 101 (a course for non-majors) in Summer 2006.
Learning Goals - Computer Science
Learning goals developed for 5 UBC Computer Science courses.
Student Peer Review: Resources and Guidance for Implementation
Jessica Dawson prepared two documents on the use of student peer evaluation based on a literature review and discussions with instructors who have used it. This document contains a detailed checklist of issues that should be considered when thinking about implementing peer review, as well as an overview of peer review software systems available as of fall 2014. Although these are in the context of computer science instruction, they are very applicable to other disciplines.
Student Peer Review: Introduction with Annotated Bibliography
Jessica Dawson prepared two documents on the use of student peer evaluation based on a literature review and discussions with instructors who have used it. This document is a brief five page overview of what peer review is as well as the advantages and challenges of implementing peer review; it includes an annotated bibliography. Although these are in the context of computer science instruction, they are very applicable to other disciplines.
