Should We Extend Deadlines? | Models & Color Codes | TAPP 112

In this episode, host Kevin Patton asks, how do we handle the trepidation we experience when we are flooded with uncertainty after an intense learning experience? Some thoughts about being upfront about using models, analogies, and color codes in science. And we explore that difficult question: should we extend deadlines for students when they ask? 00:00 | Introduction 00:43 | Trepidation After New Learning 05:13 | Sponsored by AAA 05:49 | Transparency About Models, Analogies, and Color Codes 23:38 | Sponsored by HAPI 24:36 | Leniency With Deadlines 30:21 | Sponsored by HAPS 31:00 | Is Leniency Fair? 40:32 | Staying Connected   ★ If you cannot see or activate the audio player, go to: theAPprofessor.org/podcast-episode-112.html 🏅 Apply for your credential (badge/certificate) for listening to this episode: theAPprofessor.org/podcast-episode-112.html/#badge ❓ Please take the anonymous survey: theAPprofessor.org/survey ☝️ Questions & Feedback: 1-833-LION-DEN (1-833-546-6336) ✔️ Follow The A&P Professor on Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, Revue, Tumblr, or Instagram! @theAPprofessor 📰 Get the thrice-weekly TAPP Science & Education Updates theAPprofessor.org/updates "The process of leniency involves accepting the reality of the current situation and finding a satisfying meaning therein, as opposed to misconstruing or denying the facts of the situation." (Sandra L. Schneider)   Trepidation After New Learning 4 minutes You know that feeling of trepidation we get after a conference, course, or other intense learning experience? Where we feel uncertainty about whether we'll ever be able to retrieve it again and apply it. No worries. Let's talk that through. ★ Understanding How We Learn—A Chat with Yana Weinstein & Megan Sumeracki | Episode 27   Sponsored by AAA 33 seconds A searchable transcript for this episode, as well as the captioned audiogram of this episode, are sponsored by the American Association for Anatomy (AAA) at anatomy.org.

But some of our students may not have that familiarity and comfort. Maybe transparency about these tools at the beginning of the A&P course can help students get traction in our course. ★ The Case for Transparency | Episode 51 ★ The Wallenda Model of Homeostasis | Episode 46 ★ Fishbowl Model of Homeostasis | Concept Lists | TAPP Identity | Episode 45 ★ The Storytelling Special | Episode 48 ★ Actin & Myosin — A Love Story | Episode 15 ★ Colors of chemical elements (summary of different systems) AandP.info/cpk ★ Jmol system of colors for chemicals elements (specifications and color charts) AandP.info/jscolors ★ A Guide For Teaching With Analogies (some basic principles to helps students who struggle with analogies) AandP.info/gfo ★ Assessing students' understanding of models of biological processes: a revised framework (journal article in International Journal of Science Education) AandP.info/lyf   Sponsored by HAPI Online Graduate Program 54 seconds The Master of Science in Human Anatomy & Physiology Instruction—the MS-HAPI—is a graduate program for A&P teachers, especially for those who already have a graduate/professional degree.
