Teaching Reflection for Fall 2020

Congratulations. You have done so much to design an engaging course, learn new tools and techniques, and support students through this difficult time. Pick one to continue... [[Thank you! I feel acomplished]] [[I'm so glad to be done, this has been a very trying semester for me]]

What do you think were your greatest successes this semester? Grab a piece of paper or open a new document and take a few minutes to think and write your responses... [[Ok I'm done]]

What were some of the challenges? Grab a piece of paper or open a new document and take a few minutes to think and write your responses... [[OK, I did it.]]

What can you learn for next semester based on the things that went well last semester? Write or think for a minute or two more.... [[Ok, I have some ideas]]

What was the biggest challenge? [[Teaching asynchronously ]] [[Building community + student engagement online]] [[Assessments]] [[Zoom-fatigue]] [[Something else]]

Great. Now might be a good time to also think about some things that did not go as well as you would have hoped. What was the most difficult part of this semester for you? [[Assessment]] [[Zoom fatigue]] [[Building community and student engagement online]] [[Teaching asynchronously]] [[Something else?]]

Especially for students and instructors who haven't taught and learned asynchronously, this can be a big adjustment! What are your key takeaways from teaching asynchronously this semester? Write or think to yourself for about a minute, or check out this resource from the Hub if you haven't already... Why do students feel like they are teaching themselves?: https://dearbornhub.net/?p=395 [[I'm ready to go on]] [[Take me back to the other challenges->Ok, I have some ideas]]

This is one of the trickiest things for students and faculty. What worked well and what could have gone better?

Adapting assessments that they work in an online setting can be very challenging. What worked well, and what would you like to change for next semester?
