Teaching Bio for Junction
Jul. 16th, 2008 04:41 amNotes I think I have learned about teaching (what I think I should do better)
(suggestions /very/ welcome)
1) Devote some time in the first few days to /really/ trying to figure out how the students think about the subject, then work to make ends meet
2) Have handouts with important lecture notes - including the formulas in assignments
3) Assignments should be a piece of paper physically given to students and projects should be a sheet of instructions and a sheet of grading keys
4) Review the last class in the first quarter of the next.
5) Give the students large blocks of time to work on things during class
6) Set up organization early on - ways for students to contact you, keeping track of the questions you can't answer without research
they'll be more later, this is just what I can think of in my insomnia now.
