If you are (re)designing course assignments and are looking for some inspiration, or if you’re just curious to learn more about what other BC instructors are doing, the linked faculty reflections on the design and implementation of creative assignments in their courses might be of interest to you.
CTE staff are also available as thought partners if you would like to think through assignment (re)design with someone. If you would like to schedule a consult or nominate one of your assignments or that of a colleague to be featured, please email centerforteaching@bc.edu.
