Oct 8^th: Becky and Kelvin met in Kelvin’s office, discuss about the MSR faculty form, main goals of the form for faculty who uses the assignments to reflect upon:

 

• Self: in terms of
  • Goals wish to accomplish (why change/adopt) the assignments
  • efforts required to use (extra?)
  • expectation/results from using the assignments
• Students: in terms of
  • Learning: independent from pre/post tests, do faculty feel students learned as much?
  • Attitude: were students more/less/same enthusiastic about the assignment/subject?
  • Process: were there more/less questions from students regarding finishing the assignment?
• Classroom: when discussing the assignments, compare to experience from “usual” assignments:
  • More buzz, interests, engagement?
• Assignment:
  • Difficulty?
  • Appropriateness? (independent from about factors) does faculty feel the assignment is … good, or feel the assignment is good?
  • Required skill set from students? Does this involve too many small skills that students need to master before they can work on the assignments?
  • Integration with their other assignments, how easy/difficult was it?
