This is a post for Origins veterans and newbies alike.
Origins Era 3 was such a beast --- it felt like it took up the whole first semester and we just covered a mountain of material. I was very pleased to see the OER powers that be breaking Unit 3 up into 2 - Unit 3 (Agrarian Societies) and Unit 4 (Empire and Belief Systems).
We're about to jump into this new periodization scheme - (Lance Sum Teressa Forquignon John Gennaoui ) I thought I'd throw it to the whole community (and in particular some Origins veterans like Erin Cunningham and Carla Geovanis ) :
- How has the new periodization impacted your scope and sequence, if at all?
- What challenges have you encountered with the new periodization? Do you see this impacting student engagement?”
I'll be sure to also check-in as we're just about to jump in at the beginning of next month.
