ASPECTS
What do the twenty-nine different sessions offered through the ASPECTS
Certificate Series have in common? They are all “highly informative”
according to graduate students who took advantage of this free resource
last semester. Indeed, “informative” was the most commonly
cited adjective that participants used when evaluating the ASPECTS sessions
they attended.
And “informative” is exactly what ASPECTS was designed to
do – to inform, in a practical and highly motivational way –
so that graduate student instructors know how to plan, deliver, and assess
diverse ways to enhance their students' learning.
