| Our December 4th Teaching Matters session was full of laughter, nods of appreciation, and thoughtful conversation. The group shared effective approaches to attendance, late work, engagement/contribution, and technology policies. We talked about the purpose behind various policies and the importance of communicating that purpose clearly to students.
One participant described evaluating each policy from three vantage points: how it facilitates their work as the professor, how it supports an individual student’s learning, and how it shapes the classroom community. |
