Day and time: Friday, September 1, 9:00-10:30.
Session Leader: Matyas Szabo
Description: During this feedback session participants will review each other’s home assignments and provide constructive feedback. They will be divided into small groups of 3 or 4, based on their disciplines, in such a way as to make sure that everybody in the class receives feedback from peers working either within the same discipline or in related ones. Each participant will be asked to read all parts of their peers’ assignment, but will need to comment and provide suggestions only on one particular part of the assignment (either the overall description of the assessment in the course, or the rubric for a specific type of assessment). After these group discussions, each group will choose one of the assignments to be presented to the rest of the class, and outline the suggestions its author received from peers.
At the end of the session participants will receive instruction on the microteaching exercise.
Preparatory reading: None.
