End of Semester Homework, ITC and the portfolio

Here's an update on what we're doing next week, and what we'd like you to do for your end of year portfolio.

For homework: please draft an outline of your plans for next semester - what texts are you considering, what theme, assignments, any fun things you'd like to do in class, etc.

In ITC: We'll talk about preparing to teach 200, preparing your students for 200, and ideas for teaching 100 next semester. We'll go over ending the class and preparing for what's ahead. We'd also like to go over some of the ideas you composed last meeting. I've been reviewing them and you've given us a lot of useful ideas to reflect on, so thanks.

PORTFOLIO.

Here's the revised instructions for your portfolio.

  1. Three student papers in response to one assignment, representing a range of grades (A, B, C), including your comments on these papers. 
  2. Reflection on the course goals and criteria, including which elements of the course you feel you delivered well, and which less well, either because they are not clearly described or because of other difficulties. 
  3. If you have any further ideas about ways we could improve the course and our support of new TAs, please list them.
