Asian Art History Survey

Sara Smallhouse

For ART3 Asian Art History Survey, specific local Asian communities (Yuba City Sikh, Marysville Chinese, 和奥罗维尔/奇科苗族社区)通过建立“文化联系”而合并.”  Through a series of Canvas pages, 通过为看似遥远的文化和艺术提供当地背景,同时验证经常被边缘化的社区的经验和声音,整个地区的不同文化社区可以与学习单元联系在一起.   

#Culturally Responsive Teaching

Biology

Mandeep Grewal

在开课前与学生联系是使课堂人性化的好方法. 自从在线教学以来,我开始给我的学生发欢迎信. I had thought that the welcome letter was only for online courses. 但现在,当我面对面时,我觉得这是所有方式的必要组成部分. In the letter, I send essential information, such as office hours. The office hours are not listed on the class schedules. 此外,我还附上了我的照片和关于我的生活和家庭的简短信息. 信中还提供了有关课程开始和结束日期的信息,以及学生在第一周将做什么. 他们也会找出课堂上需要的材料. Sometimes, students reply to my message and ask follow-up questions. I try to respond to their messages promptly to make them feel heard. 在我的学生第一天上课之前,这种交流可以把我介绍给他们. Also, students feel more ready for the course.

#Humanizing #Liquid Syllabus

Melody Schmid

Introduction to Biology (BIOL 1) is a general education course. When we were reviewing the BIOL 1 SLOs, 几个BIOL 1的老师讨论了一个问题:“我们如何让一个上过BIOL 1的学生和没有上过BIOL 1的学生有什么不同?”? This led to our new BIOL 1 SLO: Apply biological principles, critically analyze evidence, 并总结科学结论,以解释个人经历和生物学与社会交叉的问题. 然后我问自己,如何评估一个学生是否达到了这个目标. I decided a project with a real audience (future BIOL 1 students, friends, family, community), instead of a paper or exam, would best allow my students to demonstrate this SLO. 然后我问自己,为了准备完成这个项目,我的学生需要在BIOL 1的讲座和实验活动中学习哪些内容,并从我的课程中删除了不支持任何课程SLOs的内容,并将课程内容重新集中在批判性分析生物学证据和总结生物学结论以解释个人经历和生物学与社会交叉问题所需的生物学原理上.

当学生在一门课程中感到受欢迎和支持时,我相信他们更有可能在具有挑战性的环境中坚持这门课程. A Liquid Syllabus (Pacansky-Brock, 2014, 2017; Pacansky-Brock et al., 2020) eases pre-course anxieties with warm, 非语言暗示和充满希望的语言,让学生了解你的课程需要在第一周取得成功. 这是一个公共的,适合移动设备的网站,上面有简短的,不完美的欢迎视频(Humanizing Online STEM). 我按照米歇尔·帕坎斯基-布洛克的一步一步的指导来构建我的液体教学大纲. 我在学期开始前1个月(或当他们注册时)和1周将这个在线教学大纲发给我的学生,欢迎他们学习《现金娱乐网注册》.

Introduction to Biology (BIOL 1) is a general education course. 因为我想集中学习,所以我接受迟交的作业,鼓励多次修改BIOL 1. 当一个学生展示了我们的一门课程的slo时,这对我来说并不重要, or how many attempts it takes. I want to that revision is part of the learning process. 我相信最好的学习方式是探索、困惑、回顾反馈,然后修改. After exploring different alternative grading strategies, I decided to use specifications grading in my online BIOL 1 course. 我计划下学期在我的混合BIOL 1中使用基于标准的评分. 如果你对探索不同的评分策略感兴趣,我推荐@ONE公平评分策略课程.

#Late Work and #Grading

Suzanne Wakim

我通过每周的反思作业与在线课堂上的学生建立联系.  这些都是简短的作业(通常只有一两个问题),很容易和快速评分. 这样做的好处是,我每周都有机会与每个学生交流,讨论课程作业以外的事情. 我发现,由于这些反思,我对网上学生的了解要比对网上学生的了解多. 学生们经常评论他们是多么感激这些反思,因为这有助于他们感到被倾听和被关心.

#Humanizing

Computer Science

April Browne

The Modern Classrooms Project (MCP, n.d.) framework has three main focuses – blended instruction, self-paced structure and mastery-based grading. 这种方法的一个方面是允许学生根据他们想要的支持级别选择截止日期. 那些喜欢很少支持的人每周只有一个截止日期,并且只专注于主要项目. 这通常适用于有一些编程经验的学生,但对于快速掌握内容的学生也很有帮助,因为它消除了他们学习中不需要的障碍.  Most students need moderate support so they have three due dates a week; they must complete the coding practice, but the video activities are optional. 需要更多支持的学生每天都有截止日期,这将项目分解为更小的任务,并需要视频和阅读活动. All students have access to all the content, their selection determines which tasks they get feedback on. 这种策略使教师有更多的时间给需要更多支持的学生,并为需要较少支持的学生消除障碍.
