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.
