My institution is having exactly one week of classes after Thanksgiving break, then right to finals.
That's just asking for half the class to show and honestly, I can't blame them. If I'm an overworked, always-stressed, underpaid student traveling all the way home for the holiday, and many/all of my finals can be done remotely, why would I come back for the last week of class unless I absolutely have to?
Do any of you teach at higher ed institutions where end-of-term student course evaluation surveys do not directly factor into reappointment, promotion, and tenure considerations? I'd love to hear from you if so. Particularly interested in this question because we have so much evidence that student surveys of teaching are very poorly correlated with student learning outcomes and can have a lot of bias in them. #highered #highereducation #higheredteaching Please boost! 🙏

I'm not perfect with my grading turnaround timelines, so I don't expect perfection on due dates as long as students *communicate* with me and ask for time.
In the "real world" timelines shift, things get reprioritized, and stuff happens. I want students to get practice in asking for help, and I'd rather have quality work and clear communication than something rushed.
I do have to balance my own workload though. It's tricky.
Am I the only one who uses the inimitable @aliceroberts for illustrating English composition? Thanks to her excellent description and utilization of Dig Diaries, I was able to show my students differences between personal diaries, journals, and reading or research logs, and why what she’s calling a Dig Diary is how they should think of what goes into their reading/research log for their upcoming research essay. #professors #EnglishComposition #higheredteaching #nativeamericans

I've just spent three hours in our distance learning lab testing various things in prep for the start of my hybridised course on Monday.. conclusion? The extremely expensive state of the art equipment won't work..but zoom and laptops probably will. #GISChat #higheredteaching

1st Jan seems as good a time as any for an #introduction.
I'm a geographer, out-of-practice guitarist, sometimes swimmer & runner, here for academic connections.
Current project: articulating cognitive, socio-cultural, embodied & affective aspects of geomorphology fieldwork.

I am freeeeee! (For a few days until I return to prep for Winter special topics... updating my Learning Theories for Informatics with feedback from last year.)
I long for the day where I teach the same class twice. I want to learn, be responsive, and make changes. #PoliSciPedagogy #pedagogy #higheredteaching
Teaching with #Canvas "pro" tip. Next time around, I will show students during class time where to find my feedback on their written work. I had put localized feedback in their work, but major substantive comments in "comments for this attempt." I learned in a very-late-in-the-semester office hour that a student didn't see these substantive comments in their mobile devices without an additional click. 😧 #pedagogy #higheredteaching
Wondering about how to use the last class of the semester? FWIW, I'm going to try out a "victory lap" activity/discussion, where students identify and acknowledge their accomplishments and growth over the last 16 weeks. You know, because grad school and transitions can leave you feeling insecure. #PoliSciPedagogy #higheredteaching #academicmastodon
Last #researchMethods lecture of the quarter given (recap of course and discussing the intertwined future of research and tech). Next week is research proposal presentations and grading grading grading.
Then on to course prep for my undergraduate #learningSciences special topics course for INFO undergrads.
