Lack of engagement, incongruous learning styles and teaching methods, and high failure/dropout rates are some of the symptonms. ... The University of North Texas has developed and promulgated a process for resdesigning these classes that brings to bear the creativity of the faculty, resulting in higher-level student learning without increasing instructional costs. This groundbreaking book provides the reader with a theoretical foundation for course redesign that employs assessment-driven experiential learning, and tools and examples to bring all or part of the process to their campus."--Back cover.
