<p>THanks for the article, Bryce! <br>
<br>
Erica: Some changes I've been making to our course that students seem to enjoy are:</p>
<p></p>
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li>Choice of assignments each week: they choose what to work on based on what they believe they need</li><li>Addition of financial literacy modules (Happy to share!)</li><li>I structure class so they decide what they need to know/learn the first half of class then we do my plan the second half. This has really worked well!</li><li>Spent first two weeks entirely on community building, getting to know each other</li><li>Anonymous feedback form that includes a secret message they type into an assignment in Canvas to get credit for. This has been super helpful</li><li>Get to know your survey for point first week of class which helps me adjust class and reach out to each individual student based on what they tell me<br>
<br>
Keep us posted!</li></ul>
