    CURRICULAR DEBRIEF- developed by the WSU CTLT
    Engage small groups of students during the timeframe of one class period (45 mins)to discuss a complex problem in their course that has yet to be resolved. This is usually done in 8 sessions. Norming is done. ABET Skill mapped to correspond with WSU CITR

    Recommendations of WSU CTLT


    Incorporate activities that teach and assess soft skills into each programs core curriculum. Use a scenario activity in each course. Use assignments asking for written responses to scenarios. Discuss current events related to the course. Ask students to create a team product such as summary of approaches and issues. Conduct department-wide rating sessions and include a wide range of participants.
