Designing Reading Assignments for Comprehension & Engagement
January 29, 2024, 3:40 to 5:00 pm
Presenter/s: Rachel Malchow Lloyd, Associate Professor, Education, & CTL Director

Location: Marshall Room

Description: Ever wondered if students are actually doing their assigned reading? Or how well they are understanding the reading? “Reading is not a timeless, universal capability. Advanced literacy is a specific intellectual skill and social habit” (Gioia, 2005); it is also increasingly differentiated by discipline in college courses. This session will explore key text analysis and reading comprehension tools faculty in all disciplines can use to design more impactful reading assignments for students.

Dear Augsburg Community,

– January: Academic Affairs Committee vote
– February: Faculty Senate vote

As context and a brief review, in February 2023, the Provost charged a representative group of faculty, staff, and students to bring forward a general education revision proposal by December 2023. Based in part on broad consultation with the Augsburg community, proposed revisions to our general education curriculum include:

Dear Augsburg Community,

The shared governance process for the 2023 General Education Revision proposal, completed in December, is underway. Here is a timeline and overview of the shared governance process this spring:

– January: Academic Affairs Committee vote

– February: Faculty Senate vote

– March: Faculty first reading

– April: Faculty second reading and vote

– May: Board of Regents vote

As context and a brief review, in February 2023 the Provost charged a representative group of faculty, staff, and students to bring forward a general education revision proposal by December 2023. Based in part on broad consultation with the Augsburg community, proposed revisions to our general education curriculum include:

– three new mission-based requirements in Equity, Power, & Social Justice, Local & Global Engagement, and Sustainability & Wellness

– a streamlined and transfer-friendly curriculum to facilitate students’ progress toward graduation

– opportunities for distinctive new certificate programs and emphases

For more information, please click on the proposal linked below.

With gratitude,
