“Feedback is the breakfast of champions.”
This quote emphasizes the importance of feedback, which is a central aspect of course reviews. Just as champions in any field rely on feedback to improve and excel, students and educators benefit from the insights and feedback provided through course reviews to enhance the learning experience.
-Ken Blanchard
What is the course review process?
The course review process for online courses is essential to ensure the quality, effectiveness, and overall learning experience for students. The review process will take place over an 8-week period that will include an introductory meeting, course review, final meeting, and lastly, course revisions. The review process will also include an opportunity for course reviewers to provide feedback on the process itself as our focus is to continually improve our processes to ensure quality learning experiences for all faculty, staff, and students.
