Abstract

Building transparency into course assignment design not only helps set students up for success, but can also make our courses more inclusive and make higher education more equitable to our students. This session will introduce the benefits and techniques for building more transparency into course assignments, as well as highlighting examples and experiences from Mason instructors. Participants will have the opportunity to begin working on creating a new assignment or revising a course assignment for their own teaching.
