Instructions were the way for you to master the skills required for the class. It’s really important that they are clear and easy to follow so you can self learn the skills.

Flipped classroom is a very powerful way of teaching, however, I think the key for it to be powerful is the design of the class. How much information is giving to the students and what instructions are giving to them to follow.

Comment on Sorry, No Internet Today! by Wejdan
You are right!! There are many different apps and software that can be integrated to a class, however, what is the best way to do that.. In my opinion looking to the students and analyzing their skills and their access to technology is the first step to do when considering these apps and software use and utilization in a class room.
Comment on I hope I get a good grade on this post by Wejdan
I agree with your point here, having different assessment methods will not only give the students the opportunity to showcase what they learned in the class, but also will increase their problem solving and critical thinking skills.
Comment on Face the Music and Take Responsibility by Pranav
Let’s start taking some responsibility! That is a very interesting way to end the blog. I really like how you mention that ethics have to be taught not only at the school level but at professional level. I also want to add that it is more important to feel sorry than just saying it because the world wants to hear it. That is the conscience part, and I think it is not something that you can teach. It is something that happens naturally in people when they are around ethically better people. Some qualities, I feel, get imbibed when you are around certain people and that helps a great deal. So, practice of morality and respecting conscience are more important is what I feel.
Great post!
Comment on 25% 25% 50% by Yang Liu
Great to hear the 25% 25% 50% system in grads. I think the grad system need to basic on the discipline. There is a big difference between the lecture class and the studio class. If one day I will be a teacher and have rights to mark the grads then I will add the teaching section. it is the only available in the small class. After well organised, each student maybe has 20 minutes to do the presentation and teach others a skill relevant the class. It is my imagination. Students will learn more beyond the grads.

Comment on What, Why… ok! but How? by vguerram
Thank you for this post. I agree, so many times we focus on what to achieve and why it is not important, but we don’t focus enough in how to do it. We should definitely find broader ways to keep students motivation how, and clarifying processes and techniques would definitely be helpful.
Comment on Battle of the Grades. The story of my life! by Yang liu
Thanks for sharing your experience. Different than your background, as a student in art and design, I also experience several exams. Is it ridiculous? Using the score to judge the drawing skills and the good or poor in art history. There is not a right or wrong answer for artworks, even not good or bad. Individuals appreciate the artworks in different aspect and have the various understandings. So, the challenge for the educators is how to guide and push the students explores in art kingdom and shows the effort in an ordinary ways, which all other would easily catch and accept it.
