Feedback Loops
Trying to figure out the best way to give feedback to students after their first shot at an assignment. We go over and talk about subjects in class, but I know that can be tough to absorb. I could write comments on everyone’s work, but I’m not sure how much I can fit in the margins and how many times I can write similar comments before my own brain explodes. I’m trying to put together a study guide that’s basically answers to all of the exercises so that students can compare their answers to mine. I’ll post the guide on my class wikispaces and Google Docs collection. It requires the students to take some initiative, but they can go through the material at their pace, and then come back to me with questions if they’re interested. I’m going to use this tool when I have the time to make the guides, so we’ll see how it works.
