A coarse look at course evaluations - coupling to course quality and gender bias
- 2020
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- What do student course evaluations really tell us about course (and teacher) quality? Let’s look at possible problems (example: gender bias) and other evaluation methods (example: teaching practices inventory). Data on “overall impression”, suggests that Chalmers students favour courses given by male examiners when it comes to “top notch” ratings.

Focus student - a method to stay in contact while lecturing to black boxes
- 2021
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Summary: I have successfully used a method I call “focus student” where I ask for a volunteer among students to keep their video on during an online lecture. The problem: When most or all students choose to attend online lectures with their own video turned off, a number of negative consequences can be noted, including: * difficulty for the teacher to read facial reactions and see whether explanations are sufficient * difficulty for the teacher to teach enthusiastically without seeing any students The solution: Explain to the student group how important it is to maintain contact, so that teaching can be both inspiring (for students and teachers alike) and adjusted to a suitable level. Among other things (like encouraging questions and regularly checking understanding), do this: * Ask for a volunteer student to be your “focus student” and keep their video on. * Give plenty of appreciation for this volunteer, and promise to switch volunteers after break. * Pin the video, in Zoom, of your focus student. * Watch your focus student’s reactions while lecturing, and adapt your pace as you normally would do if you could be with your class in person.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Teachers will individually create and then share their own summaries of pedagogical aspects relevant to different teaching challenges. The workshop aims to empower teachers to recall and process broad, deep and clear thoughts, quickly and succinctly documenting them as useful personal tools for their own decision making as teachers.
