Who are we thinking about? by Aris Winger https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9 en-us 2022-12-05 16:28:25 UTC 2022-12-09 21:25:48 UTC hello@padlet.com next semester https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416059128 I know, yikes, but it actually helps me break between grading sessions....]]> 2022-12-09 21:13:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416059128 How sweet so many of my students are. A lot of them expressed appreciation for me, which means a lot (maybe more than usual right now - I needed to hear that at least some of them think I'm doing a good job). https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416059421 2022-12-09 21:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416059421 three different instances of students crying on my couch in my office in past two weeks. Many hard times going in on outside of school ... quite a few students just struggling, let alone about the class https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416059815 2022-12-09 21:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416059815 Honestly, at this point I think I'm past being worried. There's not much that can be done now for those students who really fell behind, and it's not that I don't care, but it's not a good use of my mental and emotional energy right now to spend a lot more time thinking about them. I'll think about how to help everyone else succeed at finals. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416060004 2022-12-09 21:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416060004 50% of a class- https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416060214 The students who never came to open lab hours this week - which was a chance to revisit all the materials in prep for a lab practical next week.]]> 2022-12-09 21:15:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416060214 This semester, I gave a lot of flexibility . . . and I'm evaluating the ways in which it worked, and in which it didn't. It will help me tweak things for next semester. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416061072 2022-12-09 21:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416061072 feedback https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416061124 I put several multiple choice/ranking questions and an open response item on the last 'worksheet' for one class. Got some great feedback.]]> 2022-12-09 21:17:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416061124 I am worried about the future of the students who will fail this semester because they don't seem to understand (even after a discussion) that the choices they made throughout the semester led them to this conclusion. They just want me to "pass them" as if it is my fault. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416061159 2022-12-09 21:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416061159 I'm just tired. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416061339 2022-12-09 21:17:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416061339 Incompletes https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416061677 Significantly more of them this semester]]> 2022-12-09 21:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416061677 I have so much appreciated having this group to touch bases with this semester, and I also feel that the TIPS training was HUGELY helpful to me. I could possibly use more practice at sustaining good practices through the entire semester, but it's been hugely helpful. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416061709 2022-12-09 21:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416061709 offer a makeup lab even if they did not miss a lab. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416061985 2022-12-09 21:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416061985 The students who showed appreciation and focus and did well this semester, and the students who are not taking personal responsibility for their action or inaction and are having a really hard time in general https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416062685 2022-12-09 21:20:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416062685 R. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416064036 Student who came to (maybe?) 5 lectures all semester. Took the exams (they are online) but the final exam (different format) is in person. They've had excuse after excuse as to why they haven't come to campus- child care, no transportation, medical issues, etc.... I'm just waiting for the flurry of emails related to the final and 'why they can't make it']]> 2022-12-09 21:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416064036 I feel like a lot of the work I am doing for students I am not getting paid for, and yet the students need more of my time/energy. How much as I afford to give? https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416065428 2022-12-09 21:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/5ene6ita4umjbch9/wish/2416065428
