 Winward Community College Abstract
Windward CC (WCC) is redesigning Introductory Psychology, which enrolls 25 percent of its students and is typically WCC’s third highest enrolled course, enrolling 442 students annually in seven sections during the fall semester and six sections during the spring semester.
Introductory Psychology is generally one of the first college courses taken by students, and WCC believes that students' experiences in the course can significantly impact their subsequent academic success by shaping their attitudes toward learning, their study habits and their technical skills.
The primary goal of the WCC redesign is to improve learning outcomes by actively engaging students with course content in a variety of in-class and out-of-class activities, by providing students with frequent feedback on their mastery of course content, and by making individualized assistance readily available to students.
