strategies isstated in this paper. The effects of this redesign were measured through course evaluation andstudent feedback. This paper's goals are to a) provide a formwork to redesign undergraduate STEMcourses using backward design and active learning pedagogy b) reflect on the obstacles hinderingthe future application of these methods. Student feedback shows that the application of activelearning strategies for formative assessment increases students' engagement, improvescommunication, and provides the students with an opportunity to reflect on their understanding.Implementing the backward design method provides students with clear communication ofexpectations and what they are expected to learn throughout the course.KeywordsActive-learning

for students to connect with each other and connect with the instructor. Discussion boards,peer reviews, and group projects are just a few ways to create a sense of community. Theseinteractions help students feel less isolated and more involved in their coursework, which is crucialin an online environment. Assessments also play a role in engagement. Rather than focusing solelyon exams or final papers, it is helpful to have assessments throughout the course that offeropportunities for feedback and improvement. This could include quizzes, self-reflection exercises,or peer feedback sessions. In an asynchronous course, these assessments can provide timelyinsights into how students are progressing and where they might need extra help. 2. Case
