The authors describe a simple two-stage exam method used in the physics department at the University of British Columbia. Two-stage exams provide an engaging collaborative learning opportunity which very effectively increases student mastery of the material.

Students tend to hate group work, and I've come to believe it's because we have an unrealistically high expectation of students' skills at working in a group. Walking the students through the skills which the group task requires, and accurate assessment of their abilities and team composition, seems like a good step in teaching students what group work will be like in the working world (as well as positioning the students for success at the course work).

Joe Murphy on 18 Nov 13

An intriguing description of using Google Forms as a writing rubric (or more general marking guide). I like the goal of "reduc(ing) the amount of time that I have to spend on administrative grading-related tasks, so that I can really focus my attention on reading and responding to students' work." I can see how electronic rubrics could be a time-saver, and Google Forms are dead easy to set up.

Joe Murphy on 10 Jun 14

Treating something as a "game" is usually a pejorative - meaning that the thing is not taken seriously or is manipulated outside its original purpose. But games (in all their forms) are also good at building skills and knowledge in the players, and at moving players from extrinsic to intrinsic motivation. Are there techniques used in games which apply to classes?

It seems early for this, with a week of classes and a week of exams left to go, but perhaps these tasks are good mental breaks from all the grading. They also might form the technical side of good reflective practice.

How many points should you give students for first drafts, project reports, and other assignments which show the student's progress toward an end goal? Andrew Miller argues for zero - he cleaves summative grading from formative assessments. (Mostly.)

Asking students to do work in public can lead to powerful learning, but we should talk to students about how it impacts their work and public identity. In this blog post, Jade Davis gives a description of the readings and release forms she uses in her classes with digital media projects.

This comes from a publication from my alma mater, but I don't think that makes me any less impartial than I should be. I have been thinking about my courses for next year quite a bit lately, and I had already decided to incorporate some form of regular, low-stakes testing for a variety of reasons. This article is a nice confirmation of that decision.

The college conducts student evaluations of teaching for all courses, and many faculty members supplement those evaluations by asking questions of their own (within, or along side, the college's official system). But do you take time to conduct a self-evaluation? This article includes a link to a self-evaluation form.
