T5: Talking Through Teaching Tensions Together

S5 Recap - Course Prep

In this episode, the T5 team comes together to recap the episodes in this series.  We discuss what we learned in speaking with our guests, the questions that still remain, and what we look forward to as we generate student buy-in for alternative grading schemes. As always, if you have ideas for topics you would like us to discuss, or if you would like to be a guest on T5, email us as t5podteam@gmail.com.

S5E6 - Course Prep

Guest: John Laudun | UL Federal Credit Union/BORSF Endowed Professor | Department of English | University of Louisiana at Lafayette "Prepping" a class can mean different things to different people. For some, it is choosing a text for the course and using the publisher provided slide deck and problems. For others, it is developing course handouts from scratch, developing in-class activities for each class meeting, and creating entirely new homework assignments. As a result, "prepping" could entail a few minutes each week, or 20-hours of work to produce 3-hours of in-class content. In speak with individuals and try to tease out their tips for sustainable course development.
