Resource talk:How to design and teach a student-led course on campus

Justin.thompson:

Some of the most meaningful and reflective learning experiences I have had came when a teacher/professor started a course by asking what the students wanted to learn. By asking that initial question, the education became the student's in a new and powerful way. Having students design their own passion courses is a way to unite under common topic as well as gain awareness for a cause. These courses that students can pour their whole soul into are what make other people want to join a cause. People are excited by passion and making a course dedicated to these passions is a great way to get people thinking!

The feedback is something so crucial for growth on a course because it's the quickest way for improvement. Giving feedback can help both parties the future students and the students who are leading out the course for their own teaching purposes and working as a team rather than sometimes that distant connection between student and professor.

Having our cohort that we're going through UIF course with is invaluable in both getting good ideas about student led classes, but also on how to introduce them in a meaningful way. Great ideas go nowhere without good people to help you implement them.
