To design effective assignments

Target audience: faculty, future teachers

This one is tough; in fact to develop an effective assignment you must first start with the goals of the assignment. These may include:

Standard One:
1f Recognizes that existing information can be combined with original thought, experimentation, and/or analysis to produce new information.

Standard Three
3a Recognizes interrelationships among concepts and combines them into potentially useful primary statements with supporting evidence.
3b Extends initial synthesis, when possible, at a higher level of abstraction to construct new hypotheses that may require additional information.
