"I was also, at the same time, on a committee where we're trying to talk about how to improve are tunevaluation rates. So i thought, what can i do to motivate my students to really try these clicquer questions out that they aren't having to complete for points?" "Why not give them that incentive of something un to do, to watch their professor in front doing a cart wheel? And every once while, if i look ahead to my lecture, well enough, i might go down in the basement and practise it."
Brenda Gunderson shares approaches for motivating large classes on episode 160 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
