W2020 teaching updates
S2020 teaching updates
Example: For my S2020 course, I'm planning to go from 1 midterm + 1 final to 6 tests instead, every 2nd week, to help keep students on pace. And I was scheduled for two 80-minute lectures per week, but because we no longer will have a schedule, I'm going to instead prepare three 45-minute pre-recorded lectures (each with a few breaks embedded) per week, which I think is easier for students to absorb. Students can watch the videos whenever they want during the week. And we're going to convert the lab into a simulation lab, with several deadlines throughout the term. I won't be having a final exam. I don't plan on having any "live" sessions in the course because that sounds really stressful and l can picture 100 things going wrong.
Peace to you all.
