Assessments and Assignments (and Alliteration!)
O: Hey guys! Since we weren’t given a topic for this blog, I thought we’d continue my previous blog about tests. I am currently in biomedical materials and we just had our second and last test before the final. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed studying for it because it was 6 chapters, 300 pages […]

I See You!
Hey Guys, Don’t know if you remember all the way back to the beginning of the seminar when I had my first blog post and talked about learning styles, we’re going to (sort of) revisit that idea by focusing on the visual. As you may have noticed (especially lately), it seems like we’ve been spending […]

Questions, questions
O: The ultimate goal of testing is to measure what the students actually understand and according to the book Dr. G lent me, the most difficult part in creating these exams is that they are inherently nonobjective because question structure and wording are undeniably subjective and can greatly influence a student’s success on a question […]

Pedagogy Seminar- Week 7
Kelsey Hey guys! It’s been a while. I’d like to direct this blog towards a more broad perspective –at least more broad than: “Why was that chapter relevant to our course?” With our final project ideas in mind, I think it makes sense to look at the application of different tactics by Dr. G in […]

SCED: The Science of Perspectivism
Hey guys! Rani and I have been talking a lot about perspective for this week’s blog. First, I wanted to think about the place historical context holds in a STEM course similar to this one. Dr. G mentioned last Tuesday that our lecture about historic science (Copernicus, Tycho, Gallileo, etc.) would likely be the last […]

Pedagogy Seminar- Week 3
Throughout the first two classes of our seminar, we talked a lot about how Dr. G likes to make students “learn by doing.” I think that this was certainly the case during class on Tuesday. Though we spent the first half of class mostly talking about the test as well as different types of eclipses, […]

On the Use of Physical Models
Since the first day of our Solar System class, I have noticed that the way the class was structured felt very reminiscent of elementary school, with all of the group workbook activities we do in class and its overall fun environment. Shelby’s point about the use of physical models in class really drove this even further for […]

The Eye of the Beholder…
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but is learning accomplished through the visual?
