Think
about your week of teaching. Your reflective question is: "Of everything I
did this past week in my teaching, what would I do differently if I had the
chance to do it again? And, why"? Remember to post and then to
comment on another classmate's post. Grading criteria is located in your course
syllabus.
Of this week of teaching there are a lot of things I would go
back and change. I assign my students a
project but the project rubric was not ready when I assigned the project. I should have waited until the rubric was
complete before I assigned the project. I
have one student that asks at least twenty questions a day. With this student I have told the student to
write down all their questions on separate piece of paper so that I might
answer them at the end of class or when appropriate. I currently use a turn in box in my classroom,
and it works great. I just have to get
caught up on grading assignments again. I caught a cold from my wife and son, I wish I
would have been taking Airborne sooner.
Had I been taking my vitamins I would not have gotten sick.

Tim, I hope that you feel better soon. I agree with your concerns of not assigning the students an assignment until the rubric has been created. I have made the error of doing this on several occasions. I've discovered that giving an assignment without the rubric creates a number countless issues for me. Once the student become accustom to doing things a certain way, they hold the teacher accountable for adhering to the rules. I learned my lesson the hard way. My students hold my feet to the fire everyday when it comes to graded assignments. I would welcome conversation about how you create your rubrics for your classes.
Hi Tim,
I appreciate your comment this week. I think it will be helpful for our group to learn from your experience. Don't go "live" with a project until you are ready with the criteria and can explain it to your students. Sorry you caught a cold. I hope you shake it quickly. Dr. J.
