worst fear
What was your worst fear when creating an active learning activity?
I was afraid it might not be interesting to students. My worst was if it is too complicated
My worst fear that many students may not get along well with each other which would hinder the learning process.
I fear everything, but I try to have my fearful thoughts well before the class starts - so I have time to think through my contingency plans. The usual suspects include:
- Technology is not working
- Some students come unprepared; and the related - Student(s) are disruptive/angry because they feel guilty about being unprepared
- Some students are very advanced; and the related - Student(s) are disruptive becuase they are bored
- Things go too quickly / slowly than I had thought
