“The benefits to my teaching have been related to effectively communicate the relationship between the structure of my courses and my teaching and learning objectives. Having a deeper view of the pedagogical theories related to effective course design, I also had a better perspective with which to review the structure of my courses to make appropriate changes to increase teaching and learning effectiveness in the course.”

“As a new professor, in the process of putting together my first course, I found this Institute to be an invaluable source of information. It has given me a boost of confidence in my ability to organize course learning objectives and course content in a way that will promote the student learning process. I would highly recommend this to both new and experienced professors alike”

“A great way to expand, revise and exchange one’s viewpoints on learning as a process and on teaching in its manifold facets – a truly unique experience that has been offered by the CUT. It is a prickly reminder why one is in the profession of teaching.”
