BYU Center for Teaching, Learning offers course design workshop Jan. 3

On Tuesday, Jan. 3 — the day before classes begin — the BYU Center for Teaching and Learning is offering a useful “just-in-time” workshop for faculty and instructors, "Designing A Course for Significant Learning," from 10 a.m. to noon in 3223 WSC.

Based on L.D. Fink’s model of course design, this workshop will be valuable for any professor planning a new course or re-designing a current one. This hands-on workshop will provide collaborative support for instructors as they create/modify their course(s) using

• Course learning outcomes

• Learning assessments to evaluate the achievement of the course learning outcomes (e.g., tests, assignments, presentations, projects)

• Engaging learning activities to help students achieve the course learning outcomes (e.g., in-class activities, homework)

To register, RSVP no later than Tuesday, Dec. 27, to ctlrec@byu.edu. List your name and department and be sure to include your e-mail address to receive materials related to the workshop before it begins.

For more information, contact lynn_sorenson@byu.edu.

BYU research: Mega wildfires can actually be a good thing

November 04, 2025
BYU professor Sam St. Clair is the principal investigator on the first study to show positive impacts of megafires (fires greater than 100,000 acres) across different forest types. Megafires can help some forest communities thrive — especially in areas where chronic browsing by elk, deer, and livestock has hindered tree regeneration, a widespread issue that often leads to forest regeneration failure.
