Instructional Delivery & Assessment

Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

Introductions

What are some fun and interesting ways to have the students introduce themselves in class? Although the module gives an example of taking a picture of each student, this seems a bit time-consuming and awkward.

always go to review

Have been teaching 30 years, and in another class online, someone had mentioned taking this as a refresher. I am also going to use some of the suggestions that I had forgot about.

student participation

I find it interesting to use techniques to get the students to engage. I use games, power points and end of chapter discussions, this seems to work well.

Delivering course content

It is best to know what the course is about. I believe that it helps to give the students an overview of the course by reviewing the syllabus.

Meeting the class for the first time

In meeting the class for the first time I find it helpful to introduce myself, give contact information and review the syllabus. Also it is helpful to call the roster to put names with faces.

Planning and Preparation

I find that the best way to plan and prepare for class is to read the material make notes and/or highlight and review before class.

How to motivate students

I find it helpful to motivate students by showing that I'm excited by the subject matter and encouraging them to participate in class discussions.

The Ol' Switcharoo

After just finishing my first year of teaching, I'm finding that many of my students feel like I pulled a fast one on them. They perceived me as being a "nice" and enjoyable instructor but then when they took the final exam and received their grades, they feel like I was overly harsh or difficult. I'm struggling with knowing how to avoid the perception that I somehow pulled fast one.
