S5E3 - Course Prep

Guest: Melissa Eblen-Zayas | Professor | Department of Physics | Carleton College "Prepping" a class can mean different things to different people. For some, it is choosing a text for the course and using the publisher provided slide deck and problems. For others, it is developing course handouts from scratch, developing in-class activities for each class meeting, and creating entirely new homework assignments. As a result, "prepping" could entail a few minutes each week, or 20-hours of work to produce 3-hours of in-class content. In speak with individuals and try to tease out their tips for sustainable course development. As always, if you have ideas for topics you would like us to discuss, or if you would like to be a guest on T5, email us as [email protected].
