What is “backwards design” and how can I use it in my physics classes?

March 11, 2025 by Stephanie Chasteen (University of Colorado Boulder) and Lauren Bauman (PhysPort)

Quick tips from the Faculty Teaching Institute about how to implement backwards design. Backwards design is a method for course planning where the instructor starts from the "end goal" or "learning objectives"--what they want their students to know--and then works backwards, designing assessment activities and learning activities that are aligned with the end goal.
