The Impossible Semester

The Impossible Semester

You have been tasked with preparing a course for the upcoming semester.

With limited faculty hours, finite funding, competing stakeholder demands, and growing expectations from students, every decision matters.

There is no perfect solution.

Your challenge is to navigate competing priorities and create the best possible learning experience before the semester begins.

Can you find the right balance?

Designing a course is rarely about finding the perfect answer.

It is about making difficult decisions with limited time, limited resources, and incomplete information.

Over the next few minutes, you will face a series of choices that many educators encounter in one form or another.

There are no right answers—only trade-offs.

As you play, pay attention not just to what you decide, but how you decide.
