Impact Semester
Overview
The weekly FLC sessions will help you design your course in a way that focuses on student-centered learning. The program content and support team members present research-based, pedagogically sound approaches to course design, guiding you through the design process from which you will be able to purposefully create a course that meets your unique needs.
