| On the first day of most college courses, students are handed a list of predetermined topics to be studied during that semester. A course with a “student-designed” syllabus allowed the students to determine the topics to be studied as well as the various means of assessment to be used during the semester. A collaborative process has been utilized during the first class of the semester in each section of a senior level environmental chemistry course. This process inventoried the students' prior knowledge of environmental chemistry topics and determined which topics they were most interested in learning. The syllabus was designed based on the results of this process. This collaborative process, along with preferred topics, student feedback, and the effect on course content will all be addressed. |
