Sorry if my voice is rough…have come down with something. You are safe through Zoom!

Correct Survey link - sorry

Anybody else use peer mentors in class?

I do - Intro Chem for STEM majors

What DON’T you do Erik??

Sleep.....

As always, will send slides and recording out in the afternoon and will place them at http://plc.csuprojects.org

Just so you don’t worry about any url’s going by too quickly

Thanks Brett

I may have missed this - TBL? What does this stand for?

Team-based learning

Thanks!

SLOs = student learning outcomes, in case not obvious

:)

LMS = learning management system (Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle, etc)

Brett speaks another language!

LMAO

Just not french!

How about HHT?

Happy Hour Time

Yes. Last spring I instituted a semester mid-year survey.

I asked the students what was working, what was giving them problems, and how I could help them succeed.

Yes, I often do a mid-semester survey.

Yes. Actions for Success Survey after each major exam.

my students are in the middle of a survey right now via Google forms

I often give students a mid semester survey in week 3.

I learned that students really want to be able to give input; if something’s frustrating them, giving them a voice is critical.

Yes, I do an end of semester survey in each class and the students are very constructive in their comments.

Yes. I used a similar format to the course eval but in mid semester. It helped to shape the second half of the semester.

Actions for Success is just the title I give the survey.

It’s not quite a survey, but I also institute a goal-setting adult learning activity that they have to review and adjust three times during the semester.

I think the most helpful part of mid semester surveys is that it helps students to know they have a say in how the course is taught.

mid-sem survey to allow changes in the same semester. Students prefer extra credit to complete the survey

I learned that students will find a way to accomplish a task even I'd my suggested method doesn't work for them

Love that meta-cognitive reflection after each exam.

I give a survey every two weeks based upon this research:

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02602938.2014.956282

I am doing research on that with Stacy Smith at Clemson and another colleague of ours who’s just finishing graduate school - the goal-setting exercise.

Data from survey informs about student perceptions of their own study strategies and informs instructor of the resources and pedagogies that may not be as productive for student success.

I agree with Adam that students clearly like being given a voice for their opinions

control-value Theory

The students who do the goal-setting exercise often get really stressed out, though. The idea of making a list of everything they need to do to succeed makes some of them short out.

Adam—how do you help students work through that stress? Any tips?

I’m still learning myself, Chris - many times it requires that they come to office hours and go over it. They can’t believe that the assignment is so simple - this is another thing Stacy and I and our colleague Traci are working on, that students just do not believe that this is all there is.

They are always looking for the “catch” or the “trick.”

That’s something the three of us are looking into doing research on as well, this type of student stress.

Remember, the linked items you see in the slides can be accessed from the slides that will be shared out soon.

Thanks Adam. I look forward to reading more about your work!

when I know. lol.

We’re in the very preliminary stages, but thanks!

Yeah, we have trouble understanding that not everyone loves this stuff.

Good point, faculty/we are atypical population in some ways

Great upward trend.

Interesting to see how the prominent cloud aspects changed

Do you scaffold the collaborative learning in some ways?

It varies by campus, but I think most faculty do in some way

JP!!!

Make sure you unmute your mic when you get into a room.

For anyone who needs the slide:

What questions do you want to ask about your students?Tip: think of the habits of mind that are important for student’s success in your course or discipline:What could you do with this information to improve your course or program?

That was good! THanks!

Dennis suggested getting an idea of students' confidence levels

Adam) What do you WANT to know that you didn’t know before

Two aspects: Ask students about their confidence level with concepts in the course. And how much time (pre and post) how much time they are actually spending on the course.

Thanks, Adam!!

Oh, the fixed mindset is SUCH a problem with my online students!

non-fixed does not = broken (-;

Yes, I made my online students do a time requirement discussion this semester too.

And I pointed out that this was a 3-unit course requiring 9 hours and required them to state how much time they would spend per week, and designate specific times they would work on the course. Some of them really resisted that exercise.

Lots of pressure in teaching and learning to have data, so surveys tend to be popular. It is difficult to quantity the learning process, beyond grades

Good summary, Bridget! - Jinsong Zhang, Chico

@JP. Yes, and how to make the surveys meaningful and then put to use.

I like it

That online quiz is GREAT! Thanks for sharing the idea abou asking when they plan to work on the class.

steal steal steal haha

The link to the “Are you ready” quiz is: http://www.unc.edu/tlim/ser/

Thanks, Adam!

My queries would be guided toward improving the upper levels of Bloom’s taxonomy somehow, and improving the relevance of the Zoom discussion we have.

Hope it helps!

CSU Stanislaus has one I have used as well (are you ready for an online quiz?)

class

Does anyone have a campus IR (Institutional Research) that actively and eagerly supports faculty inquiry into teaching and learning?

And we have 14 campuses with Qualtrics. Others using SurveyGizmo, Monkey, a few with Tableau. See http://tools.csuprojects.org for campus survey tools

The assessment - how about a mixed-method approach? Ask them to write a reflection on their experience.

We need to get funding for these kinds of programs. I think that aiming it at administrators as “This is how you get student success/ quicker graduation rates” might work as a pitch.

Surveys are just that, they are not solutions only an attempt to define the problem.

With good scholars, there’s always a “left to do” list. Research creates further research…but more informed.

Would it be possible to share the data with a graduate student (even outside of history) to conduct secondary data analysis as part of their thesis research?

Thank you Bridget, Chris, Kate, Brett and everyone.

Yvette—Yes. This could be a grew research project for a student. We are open to hear from interested people!!

thanks great session

If anyone’s interested in that project on adult learning activities I’m working on, feel free to drop me an email at asanford@csudh.edu

drfarmer@csus.edu

Thank you everyone. Great presentation.

jpbayard@calstate.edu

can you put the link up, too?

for LIT?

thank you!

Go Briget!!!

yep - worked fine

The breakout room worked great! Dennis on the phone too!
