Student & Faculty as Pedagogical Co-designers: An experience of partnership between a graduate student and a faculty member

Abstract

• Students as Partners (SaP) is a pedagogical approach that challenges the traditional learner roles in higher education by promoting collaboration between students and faculty to enhance teaching and learning [1]• This work consists of the partnership between a new faculty member and graduate student partner (GSP) (not the course TA) to design assessment materials for a year 3 core Mech. Eng. course with ~40 students• Deliverables from the collaboration include adaptation of course rubrics (see below) and the implementation of the CATME rubric [2] for team evaluation• Rubric adaptation was in part guided from Brookhart’s book [3]
