Courses may be offered in one of the following modalities:

  • Traditional in-person courses (0–29 percent of coursework is delivered online, the majority being offered in person.)
  • Hybrid/blended courses (30–79 percent of coursework is delivered online.)
  • Online courses (100 percent of coursework is delivered online, either synchronously on a designated day and time or asynchronously as a deadline-driven course.)
  • Hyflex (Students will be assigned to attend in-person or live streamed sessions as a reduced-size cohort on a rotating basis; live sessions are also recorded, offering students the option to participate synchronously or view asynchronously as needed.)

If you are enrolled in courses delivered in traditional or hybrid modalities, you will be expected to attend face-to-face instruction as scheduled.

Learning Goals

Course Description and RequirementsThis 1-credit course brings the STEP freshman cohort together in a structured but informal context. Students have the opportunity to develop a better understanding of the philosophy, intentions, and academic structures of STEP. The course also fosters a sense of community and identity that will carry the cohort through its master’s degree studies.This semester, the seminar will focus squarely on the practice of teaching. Each student will design and teach to the rest of the class a lesson on any topic of their choosing. They will write up a “lesson plan” that lays out objectives, classroom procedure, and means of assessment. They will also write a one-page reflection due one week after they teach.Course requirements therefore consist of:• Designing and teaching one lesson to the class• Submitting the lesson plan and reflection• Regular attendance and participation
