Previously I wrote two posts about moving class to Facebook:
Mistake #1: Disrespect Students.
The Quantity of learning depends on the instructor's attitude.
Mistake #2: Teach Without Clear Learning Objectives.
The traditional approach:
Mistake #3: Get Stuck In A Rut.
Features:
Teach a course two or three times.
Marathon lecture notes and PowerPoint slides.
Mistake #4: Give Tests That Are Too Long.
Mistake #5: Fail To Establish Relevance.
Best learning = relevance of course content to their interests & career goals.
Mistake #6: Have Students Work In Groups With No Individual Responsibility
Finally I'm home and I'll continue Blogathon in better conditions. Let's speed up!
Mistake #8: Turn Classes Into PowerPoint Shows.
What Happens?
Mistake #9: Call On Students Cold.
You point your finger suddenly: "Alperen, what's the next step?"
On 23rd of January I attended a seminar named "Major Teaching Mistakes" lectured by Mr. Hosseini.
