The changes made as part of this academic assessment/evaluation project to enhance student success yielded significant improvements.
The template features an intuitive layout and essential components such as a syllabus, clear assignment guidelines, feedback and grading policies, detailed discussion forums, and links to student support services. Identify and communicate the technical skills necessary for successful course participation to prepare students.
Third, instructors mentioned that they found better academic results from students participating in the weekly sessions, while students expressed that they felt more engaged in the course material which substantiated the reason they were more successful.
