What I'm Reading This Week #1
I've decided to try to document what I've been reading, both for my own purposes and to share with anyone who might be interested in similar things. I get daily emails from various sources (Inside Higher Ed, The Chronicle, Diverse, etc) and sometimes there are articles that get stuck in my Inbox because they're interesting and relevant to my teaching, but I don't know what to do with them. This is an attempt at a solution!
Whenever I get a chance, I'll post brief information (author, title, publication, date, etc) here so that I have a record of the articles that caught my eye that week. I'll also include books from time to time. I hope you find these lists useful!
So, for the first, time, here's what I'm reading this week:
- Kevin Gannon, The case for inclusive teaching. The Chronicle of Higher Education. February 27, 2018.
- James M. Lang, How to Teach a Good First Day of Class: Advice Guide. The Chronicle of Higher Education. August 16, 2019.
- Viji Sathy and Kelly A. Hogan, Want to Reach All of Your Students? Here's How to Make Your Teaching More Inclusive: Advice Guide. The Chronicle of Higher Education. July 22, 2019.
- Beckie Supiano, Grades can hinder learning. What should professors use instead? The Chronicle of Higher Education. July 19, 2019.
- Geordie Williamson, Where do ideas come from? A mathematician ponders eureka moments and solving complex problems. ABC Science. Sept. 3, 2019.
Plus one more late-in-the-week addition - maybe I need to get over my hesitation around cold calling in class:
- David Gooblar, What Elizabeth Warren can teach us about teaching. Inside Higher Ed. September 4, 2019.
