Managing the Class & Students

Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

De-Stress with an IPod

People at work often comment about how I listen to music while I work. What they don't realize is that listening to my IPod helps me de-stress and stay sane.

"Online Guest Speakers"

Does anyone have any suggestions for ways to do guest speakers in an online format?

"Alternative Students"

Does anyone have any suggestions for a late assignment policy when it comes to adult learners? I teach for an institution that consists primarily of non-traditional learners and find that the challenges they face are not the same as traditional students. This can include anything from sick children to homelessness. I don't want to discourage them as they are already at risk for dropping out.

Students who just want to rebel

Just wanted to get your thoughts on students who just want to constantly push things. I had a student who everyday wore sunglasses in class (which is against our dresscode), I asked him to remove them as well as other faculty/staff making this request. He would, but then he would later put them back on. I felt like I was giving him the attention he wanted by continually asking him to remove them, but at the same time didn't like how he was challenging my authority. Any suggestions on how to handle something like this? Andrea

Paper highlights and APA format

Using grading rubric is an excellent way of making consistent and faster grading of student papers. However,the highlighting or underlining of salient points may even make it easier. The problem with this approach is that it may be inconsistent with APA formatting for schools that require adherence to APA writing

Inconsistent instructors no better than disobedient students

One of the challenges some instructors face when it comes to imposing general school rules and regulations is inconsistency among themselves. Though they don't mean to critique their fellow educators, they somehow feel concerned because students tend to rebel against them because "they are not like their other instructors." How would you deal with this without creating a conflict with your fellow instructor?
