Who am I thinking about this semester? by Aris Winger https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g en-us 2022-10-10 18:29:57 UTC 2025-11-20 20:58:42 UTC hello@padlet.com A student who is in two of my classes - one of them, he's doing great, and the other, he's just not engaged at all. I kind of don't understand this. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340966282 2022-10-14 20:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340966282 AA https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340966806 She is needing to have a B in the class to maintain her scholarship, but is currently getting a D. She needs things to be handfed information. I am working with her on study techniques.]]> 2022-10-14 20:47:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340966806 student that doesn't show up to lab, but shows up to seminar for 3 extra credit points https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340966813 2022-10-14 20:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340966813 two weeks ago I sent an email to 'at risk' students (due to scores, late work, attendance, participation, etc...) and through that able to turn a bunch of them around, not all, but most... and they all said they appreciated me reaching out to them with empathy (there was no hard-ass-ness in that email) https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340966972 2022-10-14 20:48:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340966972 Reached out individually to a number of students who had missed classwork or had struggled with performance. They all responded, came to get make up notes or chat etc. But have not heard more from them since (expecting they would need more help with making up missed work) https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340967160 2022-10-14 20:48:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340967160 KS & HJ are having serious health challenges this semester, in addition to the challenges they always face as URM, though they're both VERY strong students w lot so friends. rooting for them grade-wise and health-wise https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340967202 2022-10-14 20:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340967202 I have been sending through reports to the CARE team about students who currently have failing grades. It seems that this team has been able to get in touch with about half of them. I don't think I've seen ANYONE genuinely step up and shift their behavior as a result, though. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340967481 2022-10-14 20:48:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340967481 T - I gave her incompletes (and I do mean GAVE) for her last 2 classes in the major because if she fails them, she'll be kicked out of school and if she passes, she'll get the degree. I am meeting with her regularly but she's not putting in the work yet. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340967721 2022-10-14 20:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340967721 how to get students to do extra credit especially when their grade is suffering. But it seems as though the "A and B" students are the ones that want to do the extra credit. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340967738 2022-10-14 20:49:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340967738 K, because they had a concussion several weeks back and is just now returning having missed labs, the first exam, etc... it's a big big hole to dig out of - I'm trying to find equitable ways to give them a path to success https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340967944 2022-10-14 20:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340967944 I feel like I've spent so much time trying to handle just one or two issues in my classes, that I haven't spent as much time looking at the rest of the students to make sure they're on track. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340968183 2022-10-14 20:50:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340968183 To W or not https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340968356 A student who didn't perform well on exam 01 and is very behind with course material. we met and decided that it is better for the student to take a W then just lingering on and not making progress... instead, use the time to learn the material before exam 01 for building a foundation that would be useful in a future semester.. is this a good strategy to help students that have fallen very far behind...?]]> 2022-10-14 20:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/uxy2gxye9gh6xz5g/wish/2340968356
