That way, they get to use course material (statistical methods in psychology) to learn something about themselves and hopefully recognize the relevance of the course to their personal and professional lives.

After weeks of procrastination and self-doubt, I remember committing to a set of study sessions and actually being able to complete them. One of the reasons that helped me stay motivated was recognizing that I did pretty well on some of the topics…[Read more]

Taking classes outside of one’s chosen field of study, in my opinion, is valuable and shall continue to be required. However, the content of the courses and their pedagogical structures…[Read more]

Additionally, to encourage deliberate practice, I intend to design a grading system that rewards practice alongside outcome.

First, I explicitly state in my syllabus that I firmly believe that every one of my students is able to meet the challenges of the course (statistics). Second, I employ a flipped-classroom format emphasizing deliberate practice in class that allows students to…[Read more]

For example, when confronted with a question outside of ones expertise, an instructor should candidly admit that they lack knowledge of this particular subject/area/topic but…[Read more]
