“The most effective teachers help students keep the larger questions of the course constantly at the forefront. Donald Saari... invokes the principle of what he calls “WGAD”—“Who gives a damn?” ...He tells his students that they are free to ask him this question on any day during the course, at any moment in class. He will stop and explain... why the material... is important, and how it relates to the larger questions and issues of the course.”
Prepping to teach my first classes this fall! #bookhaul #teaching #HigherEd #psychology
Is there an app y'all recommend to catalog your books so that you can loan them out to friends and keep track of who has what?
Alright guys, tell me what course topics I should teach this fall! I just officially accepted a job as an assistant professor at the University of Virginia. I'm teaching freshman composition (which I love, weirdly enough). UVA's comp courses have fun topics like the one I taught two years ago, "Reading In A Digital Age," so I'm looking forward to creating some new courses this summer! But for now...celebrating. ❤️
