The process

I have been reflecting on the performance of CUTL and MHed students on the storyboarding assignment and I have been wondering what has been going through your minds as you worked on these storyboards. They were all so different and some people obviously put so much thought into it that I am actually looking forwarding to seeing the end products. I am hoping that the process allowed you to really examine your courses and focus on outcomes. Generally, I am hoping that you actually enjoyed the experience and feel empowered by the process.

Thoughts about assignments - Its all about you

When I prepare assignments, I think about what I would like the student to be able to do or know. I want to involve the student in some task or activity that would allow the student to think deeply about the subject matter, engage with it and come out of the experience enriched. My idea is that as a student you choose to engage in learning because you want to develop in your area. That's my focus - on the student as someone who wants to learn. I imagine you want to come out enriched. I am therefore always partial to the student who may not have quite grasped the issue but who is willing to work at it until he/she gets it.
