Reflecting on Fall 2018: Part 3

12/14/2018

0 Comments

 
​Last year I was fortunate enough to be part of a bi-weekly podcast where I would reflect on my experiences as a first-year instructor.  I found that designating time for self-reflection and thought was immensely valuable for continuing to improve as an instructor.  With that being said I was thrilled when we decided to post a first semester reflection series on the blog this week, as I would again have designated time to be thoughtful and self-critical.

​The fall 2018 semester is quickly coming to a close, and all of us at TNP team want to take a moment to reflect on it.
​
Earlier this semester we set some lofty goals for ourselves. If you don’t remember, each of TNP members outlined three goals for the upcoming academic year in a series of posts back in August. The goals revolved around research and writing, teaching, professional development, and productivity.  ​

Teaching Statistical Methods (mostly) Formula Free

12/7/2018

1 Comment

 
When teaching Statistical Methods, I use a skill-based approach. Many of my students don’t have plans to go to graduate school. Rather than emphasizing formulas, I teach my students the concepts behind the formulas. This teaches the key concepts from class, without overburdening them with complex formulas and symbols that often intimidate students.

Guest Post: Culture in the Workplace Role-Play

12/6/2018

0 Comments

 
​I enjoy doing class activities with my students and experimenting with new ones to try. I also tend to hoard activities, saving any interesting ones I come across for future use. When I was planning a new course prep for this semester, I went through my NITOP binders to pull out any activities I felt were relevant. I love that there is so much sharing of ideas at that conference.  Now I want to pull from my endless folder of activities and share with others a favorite of mine. Picking one activity to discuss was difficult, but I settled on a role-playing activity good for industrial/organizational courses because it’s the only activity I have that is from a published paper. This also happens to be the activity that earned me my first high-five from a student, so I guess it is student-approved as well.
