Ep. 030: Back to the Classroom

We’re back for the new academic year with a conversation about course design. CTLT’s Director, Dr. Claire Lamonica, is teaching a class of freshman for the first time in more than a decade. We discuss her expectations, her concerns, and how she’s building her unique course. We also explore the importance of “letting go” when we find ourselves using the need to cover course content as an excuse to avoid innovation.
