Flip the traditional grading approach on its head by implementing a contract grading system in your course. As the name states, contract grading is a contract between student and instructor on how grades will be awarded. This system prioritizes students’ labor or effort over abstract “quality” of work.

There’s no need to wait until the last week of class to assign your final project. Breaking up your final project into smaller chunks due throughout the semester is a hedge against academic dishonesty because it alleviates the undue pressure of high-stakes exams and short turnaround times.

A virtual field trip is a unique way to immerse your students in your course content, take them to new places, and tell a story that a traditional lecture video can’t.

The syllabus is both a contract between the instructor and their students and a marketing tool - some students may determine whether they want to take or stay in a class based on the syllabus. For these reasons, it's important to reflect on what your syllabus is saying about your course or the types of students your course is open to.

Are you tired of receiving email after email asking you questions about material covered in the syllabus? Are you looking for a better way to direct students to the important information they need to be successful in your course? If so, then an interactive syllabus is the option you are looking for.
