What is the format of your class (lecture, seminar, etc)? What do you talk about in class? How big are your classes?
Do you think your students did their homework, or did they copy/cheat? What sort of resources are available to them if they get stuck?
Have you considered trying to "flip" your classroom - have students read/watch lectures as homework, and work on problems in class? You'd need small class sizes (or lots of assistants) to try this.
- impendia 15y agoIt's a pretty big, more or less traditional lecture with about 45 students. The students definitely did their homework. They might have copied from other students, I did not try to prevent this or really even forbid it. There are lots of resources -- I had a TA, we also had an undergrad assistant who held special tutoring sessions, there is drop in help at certain other times of day... if anyone wanted help, it was available to them. And many did try it out. Flipping the classroom seems like a very interesting idea, I've thought about it in principle, but I feel like many students wouldn't watch the lectures. In any case, I probably need to gain a reputation as an outstanding teacher before I can pull off anything unusual. Thank you!
