00:00:03.490 --> 00:00:05.770
From the Center for Teaching and Learning,
2
00:00:05.770 --> 00:00:10.740
and it is such a pleasure to be welcoming you all to this
3
00:00:10.740 --> 00:00:15.460
morning's workshop on teaching students, how to learn.
4
00:00:15.460 --> 00:00:20.250
And I'm thrilled that we have such robust attendance with
5
00:00:20.250 --> 00:00:23.940
people in so many different roles and from so many different
6
00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:25.693
corners of campus.
7
00:00:27.040 --> 00:00:30.670
We wanna thank the Kroepsch-Maurice Endowment,
8
00:00:30.670 --> 00:00:35.210
this presentation today with Dr. Saundra Y. McGuire.
9
00:00:35.210 --> 00:00:36.530
Today is part of the
10
00:00:36.530 --> 00:00:39.734
Kroepsch-Maurice Faculty Development and Lecture Series
11
00:00:39.734 --> 00:00:44.540
event and so we're grateful for that support.
12
00:00:44.540 --> 00:00:49.163
And as I hope all of you know that here at the CTL
13
00:00:50.190 --> 00:00:54.820
we are very interested in supporting kind of whole
14
00:00:54.820 --> 00:00:59.190
instructors thinking about whole students and the ways in
15
00:00:59.190 --> 00:01:04.030
which education fits into the whole experience of our lives.
16
00:01:04.030 --> 00:01:08.760
And so we wanted to give you a sense of a very broad sense
17
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.550
of who our wonderful guest speaker is today.
18
00:01:11.550 --> 00:01:13.760
So let me tell you a little bit about
19
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:17.860
Dr. Saundra Y. McGuire before she gets started.
20
00:01:17.860 --> 00:01:21.080
Dr. McGuire is the Director Emerita of the
21
00:01:21.080 --> 00:01:24.610
Center for Academic Success and also retired assistant
22
00:01:24.610 --> 00:01:26.290
vice chancellor and professor
23
00:01:26.290 --> 00:01:29.720
of Chemistry at Louisiana State University.
24
00:01:29.720 --> 00:01:33.100
She has delivered keynotes or presented workshops on
25
00:01:33.100 --> 00:01:37.320
effective learning strategies at over 500 institutions
26
00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:39.910
in 47 states,
27
00:01:39.910 --> 00:01:44.870
gotta get those last three in and 13 countries prior to
28
00:01:44.870 --> 00:01:46.090
joining LSU.
29
00:01:46.090 --> 00:01:50.190
She spent 11 years at Cornell where she received the coveted
30
00:01:50.190 --> 00:01:53.310
Clark Distinguished Teaching Award and her best selling
31
00:01:53.310 --> 00:01:55.310
books "Teach Students How to Learn"
32
00:01:55.310 --> 00:01:56.960
and Teach Yourself How to Learn"
33
00:01:56.960 --> 00:01:59.950
are widely acclaimed by faculty and students.
34
00:01:59.950 --> 00:02:03.457
And very interestingly, there's a parent version,
35
00:02:03.457 --> 00:02:06.090
"The Parents Guide to Studying and Learning,"
36
00:02:06.090 --> 00:02:08.883
which was released just last month.
37
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:10.930
And in fact,
38
00:02:10.930 --> 00:02:14.960
if you take a look at "Teach Students How to Learn"
39
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.570
the first chapter gives a really wonderful overview of
40
00:02:17.570 --> 00:02:22.100
Dr McGuire's evolution from first year graduate student
41
00:02:22.100 --> 00:02:25.700
getting hooked on the question of how to help students learn
42
00:02:25.700 --> 00:02:28.903
better through her, the fullness of her career.
43
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.150
McGuire's most recent accolades include being
44
00:02:32.150 --> 00:02:37.150
named 2022 Louisiana legend by Louisiana Public Broadcasting
45
00:02:37.230 --> 00:02:41.170
listed in the 2020 edition of Marcus who's, in America
46
00:02:41.170 --> 00:02:45.220
the 2019 Commitment to Excellence in Academic Support Award
47
00:02:45.220 --> 00:02:47.150
from the Commission for Academic Support
48
00:02:47.150 --> 00:02:48.570
in Higher Education.
49
00:02:48.570 --> 00:02:52.640
And she was inducted into LSU science Hall of Distinction
50
00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:54.570
in 2017.
51
00:02:54.570 --> 00:02:58.530
She's an elected fellow of the American Chemical Society.
52
00:02:58.530 --> 00:03:01.520
The American Association for the Advancement of Science and
53
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.100
the Council for Learning Assistance and Developmental
54
00:03:04.100 --> 00:03:06.020
Education Associations.
55
00:03:06.020 --> 00:03:08.940
She's received the presidential award for excellence in
56
00:03:08.940 --> 00:03:11.370
science, mathematics, and engineering mentoring
57
00:03:11.370 --> 00:03:13.483
in a White House Oval Office Ceremony.
58
00:03:14.480 --> 00:03:17.780
Dr. McGuire received her B.S, magna cum laude from
59
00:03:17.780 --> 00:03:20.850
Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
60
00:03:20.850 --> 00:03:23.770
her master's degree from Cornell and her PhD from the
61
00:03:23.770 --> 00:03:25.800
University of Tennessee at Knoxville,
62
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.460
where she received the chancellor's citation for exceptional
63
00:03:28.460 --> 00:03:30.290
professional promise.
64
00:03:30.290 --> 00:03:32.640
She is married to Dr. Steven C. McGuire the
65
00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:34.310
James and Ruth Smith professor of
66
00:03:34.310 --> 00:03:36.480
physics emeritus at Southern University.
67
00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:39.760
And they are the parents of Dr. Carlo McGuire Davis and
68
00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:43.220
Dr. Stephanie McGuire and the doting grandparents of Joshua,
69
00:03:43.220 --> 00:03:45.450
Ruth, Daniel, and Joseph Davis.
70
00:03:45.450 --> 00:03:48.800
So you can see Dr. McGuire has an interest in connections
71
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:50.932
and learning across the lifespan.
72
00:03:50.932 --> 00:03:54.700
And we are just so honored to have you with us this morning,
73
00:03:54.700 --> 00:03:58.040
Dr. McGuire, and I will turn it over to you.
74
00:03:58.040 --> 00:03:59.880
Thank you so much.
75
00:03:59.880 --> 00:04:01.360
And please call me Saundra.
76
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.370
I know I'm probably old enough to be your mom,
77
00:04:03.370 --> 00:04:06.130
but we're colleagues in this space.
78
00:04:06.130 --> 00:04:09.540
So yes, well again, welcome everyone.
79
00:04:09.540 --> 00:04:11.580
Thank you so much for joining me.
80
00:04:11.580 --> 00:04:14.693
I'm so excited to be speaking to folks at UVM
81
00:04:14.693 --> 00:04:17.480
because now I can say 48,
82
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:21.970
I've spoken to faculty in 48 states because Vermont was one
83
00:04:21.970 --> 00:04:24.270
of the ones that I had to tick off the list.
84
00:04:24.270 --> 00:04:27.150
And now I only have, cuz I counted DC.
85
00:04:27.150 --> 00:04:28.070
So it's a total of 51.
86
00:04:28.070 --> 00:04:32.353
So I only have now Alaska, Hawaii and Idaho to go.
87
00:04:33.450 --> 00:04:37.940
But I wanna thank everyone for joining me to talk about a
88
00:04:37.940 --> 00:04:41.160
topic that I am now so passionate about
89
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.040
teach students how to learn.
90
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.510
But it's the concept that was pretty foreign to me as
91
00:04:45.510 --> 00:04:48.150
recently as about 25 years ago.
92
00:04:48.150 --> 00:04:48.983
In fact, the whole,
93
00:04:48.983 --> 00:04:52.310
the phrase teach students how to learn was nonsensical to
94
00:04:52.310 --> 00:04:54.850
me, how you gonna teach somebody how to learn.
95
00:04:54.850 --> 00:04:56.720
They don't know how to learn and you teach them
96
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:57.670
how to learn.
97
00:04:57.670 --> 00:05:00.330
They're not gonna learn it cuz they don't know how to learn.
98
00:05:00.330 --> 00:05:01.921
And so it just made no sense to me.
99
00:05:01.921 --> 00:05:05.920
But now I understand that that means that we can teach
100
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:07.763
students that learning is a process.
101
00:05:07.763 --> 00:05:11.510
It's not an activity that happens the night before a test
102
00:05:11.510 --> 00:05:14.590
and we can actually teach them the components of that
103
00:05:14.590 --> 00:05:19.100
process and the steps involved so that they will be in a
104
00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:22.900
position to become self direct independent learners,
105
00:05:22.900 --> 00:05:26.420
as opposed to relying on us to tell them everything.
106
00:05:26.420 --> 00:05:28.930
Oh, and I see we have a colleague from English,
107
00:05:28.930 --> 00:05:31.580
a director of undergraduate writing, great.
108
00:05:31.580 --> 00:05:32.413
Well, I can tell you,
109
00:05:32.413 --> 00:05:36.290
I use the chat box very liberally and I ask a lot of
110
00:05:36.290 --> 00:05:38.500
questions, they don't have any right or wrong answers.
111
00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:41.120
I just wanna know what your experience has been and what
112
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:42.090
you're thinking.
113
00:05:42.090 --> 00:05:44.410
And we also have a few polls that are coming up,
114
00:05:44.410 --> 00:05:48.780
so please participate freely and you can ask questions in
115
00:05:48.780 --> 00:05:50.104
the chat box, make comments.
116
00:05:50.104 --> 00:05:53.801
And I have asked my host because sometimes things come
117
00:05:53.801 --> 00:05:56.700
across fast and furiously and they scroll up and I don't see
118
00:05:56.700 --> 00:05:58.650
it and so if I miss something,
119
00:05:58.650 --> 00:06:02.749
one of our hosts is going to unmute the mic and let us know.
120
00:06:02.749 --> 00:06:05.030
So you know, a little bit about me.
121
00:06:05.030 --> 00:06:06.850
And so I wanted to know just a little bit,
122
00:06:06.850 --> 00:06:08.760
and this is the first poll question.
123
00:06:08.760 --> 00:06:12.960
I wanna know how familiar you are with my work.
124
00:06:12.960 --> 00:06:15.700
I've done lots and lots of workshops before.
125
00:06:15.700 --> 00:06:19.230
So you've attended an in-person workshop or participated in
126
00:06:19.230 --> 00:06:22.900
a webinar or if you've read the book or both or none of the
127
00:06:22.900 --> 00:06:26.560
above and I will see.
128
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:28.660
Yeah, it's interesting with Zoom.
129
00:06:28.660 --> 00:06:32.210
It's different if I see the responses in the chat box that
130
00:06:32.210 --> 00:06:34.350
meant that people didn't enter them into the poll,
131
00:06:34.350 --> 00:06:38.289
but I know with teams you can enter into the poll and you
132
00:06:38.289 --> 00:06:41.230
see them on the chat, so.
133
00:06:41.230 --> 00:06:45.340
And then I see the results as they're coming in, okay.
134
00:06:45.340 --> 00:06:49.550
Oh, okay, so most of us now, 83%, none of the above
135
00:06:49.550 --> 00:06:51.910
and we have 29 responses.
136
00:06:51.910 --> 00:06:52.743
Oh yeah.
137
00:06:52.743 --> 00:06:56.320
So we can in the poll, typically we have about 30 people
138
00:06:56.320 --> 00:06:58.350
and so usually when we about 25,
139
00:06:58.350 --> 00:07:01.740
I'll give you the five second warning and then we'll take it
140
00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:03.200
off in five seconds.
141
00:07:03.200 --> 00:07:05.620
Now let me just ask, cause I almost never use teams.
142
00:07:05.620 --> 00:07:08.550
Can everybody see the compose?
143
00:07:08.550 --> 00:07:10.440
Yeah, you can see that in the chat box too,
144
00:07:10.440 --> 00:07:11.273
can't you?
145
00:07:11.273 --> 00:07:12.106
Correct.
146
00:07:12.106 --> 00:07:12.960
Okay, wonderful, okay.
147
00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:15.170
And so, okay, great.
148
00:07:15.170 --> 00:07:18.300
So most of you are not familiar at all.
149
00:07:18.300 --> 00:07:21.370
And then the next question is how much do you know about
150
00:07:21.370 --> 00:07:26.370
metacognition and nothing or just a little moderate amount,
151
00:07:27.140 --> 00:07:30.100
quite a lot or more than you wanna know.
152
00:07:30.100 --> 00:07:35.100
And so I will see what that comes out to be.
153
00:07:44.320 --> 00:07:47.450
Yeah, the first time I did a workshop in teams was about
154
00:07:47.450 --> 00:07:51.570
a month ago and I hated it, it was the bane of my existence,
155
00:07:51.570 --> 00:07:56.000
but now I'm warming up to teams now because I see it does
156
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:00.520
some things that Zoom does not do.
157
00:08:00.520 --> 00:08:02.580
Okay, so we've got, oh, okay.
158
00:08:02.580 --> 00:08:03.850
We've got 29 responses.
159
00:08:03.850 --> 00:08:05.840
So that's pretty much everybody.
160
00:08:05.840 --> 00:08:09.120
Okay, and so I see we have okay.
161
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.900
Almost nothing, or just a little bit, quite a lot
162
00:08:11.900 --> 00:08:14.580
about five and then more than I care to know too.
163
00:08:14.580 --> 00:08:17.940
Now I'm one of those more than I care to know.
164
00:08:17.940 --> 00:08:21.200
And so I'm wondering sometimes people put that and they say,
165
00:08:21.200 --> 00:08:22.960
well, that was a mistake
166
00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:24.530
but then sometimes people say, yeah, no,
167
00:08:24.530 --> 00:08:25.918
I have metacognition.
168
00:08:25.918 --> 00:08:28.350
I'm sick of hearing that term.
169
00:08:28.350 --> 00:08:31.440
And so hopefully if you're the person who said more than I
170
00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:32.360
care to know,
171
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.290
we'll get a slightly different perspective and see how it
172
00:08:35.290 --> 00:08:38.760
impacts students and hopefully make a little bit of
173
00:08:38.760 --> 00:08:39.593
difference.
174
00:08:39.593 --> 00:08:41.460
And so whenever I speak in institutions,
175
00:08:41.460 --> 00:08:44.850
I always like to look at the mission statement and the
176
00:08:44.850 --> 00:08:48.560
vision statement and you're creating, evaluating, sharing,
177
00:08:48.560 --> 00:08:51.160
and applying knowledge to prepare students,
178
00:08:51.160 --> 00:08:53.610
to be accountable leaders who are gonna bring to their work
179
00:08:53.610 --> 00:08:55.580
dedication to the global community,
180
00:08:55.580 --> 00:08:59.440
but a grasp of complexity, effective problem solving,
181
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.210
communication skills and an enduring commitment to
182
00:09:02.210 --> 00:09:04.760
learning and ethical conduct.
183
00:09:04.760 --> 00:09:08.570
And I think this is where when students understand about
184
00:09:08.570 --> 00:09:11.534
metacognition, they do become much better at
185
00:09:11.534 --> 00:09:13.690
solving problems and
186
00:09:13.690 --> 00:09:17.170
understanding complexity and addressing that.
187
00:09:17.170 --> 00:09:18.760
And in your strategic vision,
188
00:09:18.760 --> 00:09:23.510
student success and experience are it really is the first of
189
00:09:23.510 --> 00:09:25.170
your three strategic imperatives.
190
00:09:25.170 --> 00:09:27.320
So if we're talking about student success,
191
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:31.260
then metacognition really is very important to that.
192
00:09:31.260 --> 00:09:35.740
Now my personal connection to UVM started in 2002.
193
00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:40.121
Because that's when you stole my favorite provost and
194
00:09:40.121 --> 00:09:42.810
this is the person you stole.
195
00:09:42.810 --> 00:09:45.990
And so just put in the chat box who this person is,
196
00:09:45.990 --> 00:09:50.900
if you recognize the face and I'll see if anybody knows
197
00:09:50.900 --> 00:09:52.123
who this is.
198
00:09:55.540 --> 00:09:57.670
Okay, I don't see any, oh, okay.
199
00:09:57.670 --> 00:09:59.270
Yep, there he is Dan Fogel.
200
00:09:59.270 --> 00:10:00.840
Okay, absolutely.
201
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:04.600
Well, Dan was the provost at LSU before he went to UVM.
202
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:09.600
And the reason that I say he's my favorite provost, Dan,
203
00:10:09.810 --> 00:10:12.390
within the first couple of weeks when I was at LSU,
204
00:10:12.390 --> 00:10:16.040
he announced in a faculty meeting and almost nobody knew who
205
00:10:16.040 --> 00:10:18.617
I was because I just gotten there that he was gonna give
206
00:10:18.617 --> 00:10:22.660
$100,000 to the learning center for supplemental instruction
207
00:10:22.660 --> 00:10:24.880
and service learning.
208
00:10:24.880 --> 00:10:28.470
And I about fell outta my chair because I wasn't expecting
209
00:10:28.470 --> 00:10:30.370
that and people were looking around who is this
210
00:10:30.370 --> 00:10:33.030
Saundra McGuire, who's getting a hundred thousand dollars.
211
00:10:33.030 --> 00:10:36.870
But it really was the catalyst to my professional
212
00:10:36.870 --> 00:10:40.420
development and understanding what this increasing student
213
00:10:40.420 --> 00:10:43.920
learning was all about by way of the first supplemental
214
00:10:43.920 --> 00:10:46.990
instruction leader training that I went to.
215
00:10:46.990 --> 00:10:50.990
And so it really catalyzed my career and he provided
216
00:10:50.990 --> 00:10:54.340
resources that turned our Center for Academic Success into a
217
00:10:54.340 --> 00:10:56.160
nationally award winning unit.
218
00:10:56.160 --> 00:10:57.671
And I've looked at the website for your
219
00:10:57.671 --> 00:11:00.443
Center for Academic Success and I think that they would,
220
00:11:00.443 --> 00:11:02.830
they're very competitive for that award.
221
00:11:02.830 --> 00:11:06.830
So I'm going to encourage them to look into that.
222
00:11:06.830 --> 00:11:09.130
The National College Learning Center Association
223
00:11:09.130 --> 00:11:12.100
recognizes learning centers with that.
224
00:11:12.100 --> 00:11:14.810
Now I also like to look at the retention and graduation
225
00:11:14.810 --> 00:11:17.410
rates and thank you.
226
00:11:17.410 --> 00:11:19.890
I saw the hand clap there.
227
00:11:19.890 --> 00:11:22.330
Your retention rate is very good.
228
00:11:22.330 --> 00:11:25.530
It's 87%, the national average is 69 and
229
00:11:25.530 --> 00:11:30.070
the Vermont average is 62, and so that's very good.
230
00:11:30.070 --> 00:11:34.570
Your six year graduation rate is 78.2% well above the
231
00:11:34.570 --> 00:11:36.863
national average of 53.8.
232
00:11:37.780 --> 00:11:41.590
But this particular website that I can use that gives me
233
00:11:41.590 --> 00:11:44.820
this information also gives me the expected
234
00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:46.090
six year graduation rate
235
00:11:46.090 --> 00:11:48.910
based on the preparation of the students
236
00:11:48.910 --> 00:11:52.070
who come and it's 79%.
237
00:11:52.070 --> 00:11:55.150
So you're within a percentage point of that.
238
00:11:55.150 --> 00:11:57.610
But I think that with the information that we're gonna talk
239
00:11:57.610 --> 00:12:01.550
about today, you will be able to improve these rates.
240
00:12:01.550 --> 00:12:06.390
And I'm gonna say to get at least over 80, maybe even 85%,
241
00:12:06.390 --> 00:12:09.190
but that's, if we teach students how to learn,
242
00:12:09.190 --> 00:12:11.600
if we help them develop the right mindset.
243
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:13.570
And if we motivate them to implement
244
00:12:13.570 --> 00:12:15.090
effective learning strategies,
245
00:12:15.090 --> 00:12:18.870
which many of them come to UVM not knowing about.
246
00:12:18.870 --> 00:12:21.860
And so that's all about metacognition.
247
00:12:21.860 --> 00:12:26.210
And the reason that I use metacognition as the construct to
248
00:12:26.210 --> 00:12:28.610
talk with students about this is
249
00:12:28.610 --> 00:12:30.650
in the past before I learned this,
250
00:12:30.650 --> 00:12:32.880
because I was learning center director at Cornell,
251
00:12:32.880 --> 00:12:34.680
but we always talked about study skills.
252
00:12:34.680 --> 00:12:36.610
We were gonna teach students study skills.
253
00:12:36.610 --> 00:12:40.610
But I find that most often when students hear study skills,
254
00:12:40.610 --> 00:12:42.160
their eyes kind of glaze over.
255
00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:45.290
They don't wanna hear about study skills and especially the
256
00:12:45.290 --> 00:12:48.950
caliber of students who come to UVM because they've done
257
00:12:48.950 --> 00:12:49.870
well in high school,
258
00:12:49.870 --> 00:12:52.160
they are convinced that they know how to study.
259
00:12:52.160 --> 00:12:54.730
And so study skills, they are not so interested in,
260
00:12:54.730 --> 00:12:57.720
but metacognition that gets their attention because they
261
00:12:57.720 --> 00:12:59.540
haven't heard that term.
262
00:12:59.540 --> 00:13:02.500
And so I actually, when I'm doing a student presentation,
263
00:13:02.500 --> 00:13:05.390
I have them dissect the term with me
264
00:13:05.390 --> 00:13:07.350
so they know exactly what it is.
265
00:13:07.350 --> 00:13:10.380
And very simply put it's your ability to think about
266
00:13:10.380 --> 00:13:11.600
your own thinking.
267
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:14.220
Now I know this is a very simple definition
268
00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:16.155
but I find that when I'm talking to students,
269
00:13:16.155 --> 00:13:20.110
if I want them to really intuitively understand the meaning
270
00:13:20.110 --> 00:13:22.840
of something, then I gotta keep it simple.
271
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:25.920
And so I tell students it's as if you have a big brain
272
00:13:25.920 --> 00:13:28.430
outside your brain looking at what your brain is doing.
273
00:13:28.430 --> 00:13:31.140
And that big brain is asking your brain questions.
274
00:13:31.140 --> 00:13:31.973
And it's saying,
275
00:13:31.973 --> 00:13:33.610
does she really understand this information
276
00:13:33.610 --> 00:13:35.420
or did she just memorize last night
277
00:13:35.420 --> 00:13:37.110
because the test is today.
278
00:13:37.110 --> 00:13:40.240
It's your ability to be consciously aware that you are a
279
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:41.480
problem solver.
280
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.140
So when things come up that you don't know the answer to,
281
00:13:45.140 --> 00:13:46.500
or you have a question,
282
00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:48.560
you don't have to rely on somebody else
283
00:13:48.560 --> 00:13:50.330
to give you the information.
284
00:13:50.330 --> 00:13:53.120
You can take steps to figure out the answers
285
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:54.430
to your own questions.
286
00:13:54.430 --> 00:13:57.900
And for me it takes students out of what I call victim
287
00:13:57.900 --> 00:13:59.870
mentality, where they say, well, oh,
288
00:13:59.870 --> 00:14:01.590
I didn't know there was a test today.
289
00:14:01.590 --> 00:14:03.970
Oh, I didn't know it was gonna cover five chapters.
290
00:14:03.970 --> 00:14:06.660
I didn't know the paper had to be typed.
291
00:14:06.660 --> 00:14:09.220
And so these kinds of things,
292
00:14:09.220 --> 00:14:12.050
students will be in a position to figure out for themselves.
293
00:14:12.050 --> 00:14:13.510
And I'll give you a good example of that.
294
00:14:13.510 --> 00:14:16.200
So here's the next question for the chat box.
295
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:17.720
If we really think about it,
296
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:21.430
most of the questions that our students ask us about our
297
00:14:21.430 --> 00:14:26.020
courses, where could they find that information?
298
00:14:26.020 --> 00:14:27.100
They come and they ask us,
299
00:14:27.100 --> 00:14:28.500
but if they really thought about it,
300
00:14:28.500 --> 00:14:30.170
where could they find that information?
301
00:14:30.170 --> 00:14:32.030
If it's something about the course, you know,
302
00:14:32.030 --> 00:14:33.110
how many tests are we gonna,
303
00:14:33.110 --> 00:14:36.000
exactly next, the syllabus, yes.
304
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:38.620
And so if a student, okay.
305
00:14:38.620 --> 00:14:42.160
A Blackboard or exactly the LMS, yes.
306
00:14:42.160 --> 00:14:45.410
And so if a student is not using their metacognitive brain,
307
00:14:45.410 --> 00:14:46.620
then they might think, oh,
308
00:14:46.620 --> 00:14:48.290
I wonder when the next test is gonna be.
309
00:14:48.290 --> 00:14:49.620
I need to ask the professor.
310
00:14:49.620 --> 00:14:51.110
And the metacognitive brain says, no,
311
00:14:51.110 --> 00:14:52.950
we don't need to ask the professor about that.
312
00:14:52.950 --> 00:14:53.783
We can figure this out.
313
00:14:53.783 --> 00:14:56.363
And then the brain says, well, what am I supposed to do?
314
00:14:56.363 --> 00:14:57.750
And the metacognitive brain says,
315
00:14:57.750 --> 00:15:00.850
well, what resources did our instructor give us
316
00:15:00.850 --> 00:15:03.500
that might have that information on it?
317
00:15:03.500 --> 00:15:07.140
And so it leads the students to the syllabus and they look
318
00:15:07.140 --> 00:15:09.007
at the syllabus and they get the answer.
319
00:15:09.007 --> 00:15:13.410
And so they don't have to ask the instructor about that.
320
00:15:13.410 --> 00:15:15.130
But I tell students that doesn't mean that you're not gonna
321
00:15:15.130 --> 00:15:17.900
be talking to your professors because you will.
322
00:15:17.900 --> 00:15:20.220
But when you talk with your professor,
323
00:15:20.220 --> 00:15:23.110
you'll be asking questions and discussing things that you
324
00:15:23.110 --> 00:15:25.910
really could not get the answer to yourself.
325
00:15:25.910 --> 00:15:29.320
And so the discussion will be at a much higher level.
326
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:31.520
It's your ability to plan, monitor,
327
00:15:31.520 --> 00:15:33.010
and control your mental processing.
328
00:15:33.010 --> 00:15:34.690
So you know if you're understanding something
329
00:15:34.690 --> 00:15:36.240
or just memorizing it.
330
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:38.900
It's your ability to accurately judge your level of
331
00:15:38.900 --> 00:15:42.070
learning and that's really, really important
332
00:15:42.070 --> 00:15:44.900
because I find that a lot of students,
333
00:15:44.900 --> 00:15:48.970
their big problem is they have no idea that the level of
334
00:15:48.970 --> 00:15:52.180
learning in college at the university is very different from
335
00:15:52.180 --> 00:15:53.050
high school.
336
00:15:53.050 --> 00:15:55.680
When I talk with student groups, I will ask them,
337
00:15:55.680 --> 00:15:57.810
how many of you have ever heard a professor say something
338
00:15:57.810 --> 00:15:59.540
like you're at the university now
339
00:15:59.540 --> 00:16:02.440
we operate at higher levels you gotta kick it up a notch.
340
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:04.090
Well, all the hands go up.
341
00:16:04.090 --> 00:16:05.150
But then when I ask them,
342
00:16:05.150 --> 00:16:07.960
who thinks you can tell me exactly what those professors are
343
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:09.970
talking about when they make that statement?
344
00:16:09.970 --> 00:16:12.740
Almost no hands go up and the few that do,
345
00:16:12.740 --> 00:16:14.490
they'll say things like, oh,
346
00:16:14.490 --> 00:16:19.060
they mean that UVM is gonna be harder than high school.
347
00:16:19.060 --> 00:16:21.610
Or sometimes they'll say they mean that we have to take more
348
00:16:21.610 --> 00:16:23.660
responsibility for our own learning.
349
00:16:23.660 --> 00:16:25.560
Sometimes they'll say that, well,
350
00:16:25.560 --> 00:16:26.850
they're gonna give us more work.
351
00:16:26.850 --> 00:16:28.990
And I say, yeah, all these things are true,
352
00:16:28.990 --> 00:16:33.210
but how many of you've ever heard of Bloom's taxonomy and
353
00:16:33.210 --> 00:16:34.780
almost nobody has.
354
00:16:34.780 --> 00:16:36.830
And so please put in the chat box for me,
355
00:16:36.830 --> 00:16:39.110
would you say, is this is a yes or no question?
356
00:16:39.110 --> 00:16:41.563
A lot of my questions are yes or no for the chat box,
357
00:16:41.563 --> 00:16:44.300
but yes or no would you say you are very familiar
358
00:16:44.300 --> 00:16:48.450
with Bloom's taxonomy or not so much, okay.
359
00:16:48.450 --> 00:16:52.130
And I'm seeing some yeses and yeah,
360
00:16:52.130 --> 00:16:55.120
it's changed over years when I first started doing this and
361
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.210
I see Rachel says, no, not a problem,
362
00:16:57.210 --> 00:16:58.960
cuz we're gonna talk about what it is.
363
00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:02.780
But Alexandria says yeppers peppers.
364
00:17:02.780 --> 00:17:06.670
When sometimes people say I'm all bloomed out.
365
00:17:06.670 --> 00:17:07.970
Oh yeah, Krathwohl version.
366
00:17:07.970 --> 00:17:09.590
Yep, that's what we're gonna talk about.
367
00:17:09.590 --> 00:17:13.987
And so don't worry if you're not because gonna talk about
368
00:17:13.987 --> 00:17:17.430
it but when I ask students this almost nobody has.
369
00:17:17.430 --> 00:17:20.170
And let me ask the other question because most of us are
370
00:17:20.170 --> 00:17:21.550
very familiar with it.
371
00:17:21.550 --> 00:17:25.800
So yes or no, have you actively taught Bloom's taxonomy
372
00:17:25.800 --> 00:17:27.940
Krathwohl version or any version?
373
00:17:27.940 --> 00:17:30.590
Have you actively taught it to your students,
374
00:17:30.590 --> 00:17:34.000
spent some class time going over Bloom's taxonomy and
375
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:35.440
talking about the different levels?
376
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:36.360
Have you done that?
377
00:17:36.360 --> 00:17:37.800
Give me a yes or no.
378
00:17:37.800 --> 00:17:40.620
Okay, and so now the noes are coming in.
379
00:17:40.620 --> 00:17:44.420
And I totally understand that because I learned
380
00:17:44.420 --> 00:17:46.280
Bloom's taxonomy as a graduate student.
381
00:17:46.280 --> 00:17:48.610
My PhD is actually in chemical education,
382
00:17:48.610 --> 00:17:52.740
but I never taught it to students because I learned it as a
383
00:17:52.740 --> 00:17:54.800
construct that we as faculty would use
384
00:17:54.800 --> 00:17:57.280
to target our instruction, to target our assessments and
385
00:17:57.280 --> 00:17:58.630
never taught it to students.
386
00:17:58.630 --> 00:18:00.260
But when I got to LSU,
387
00:18:00.260 --> 00:18:03.580
they were teaching Bloom's to students very successfully.
388
00:18:03.580 --> 00:18:07.690
And so I started to teach Bloom's to students.
389
00:18:07.690 --> 00:18:11.020
And the number one reaction I got from students was,
390
00:18:11.020 --> 00:18:15.050
wow, I wish somebody had told me about this before.
391
00:18:15.050 --> 00:18:18.260
I wish I had known about this in high school
392
00:18:18.260 --> 00:18:20.960
because it makes all the difference in the world.
393
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:24.880
And I think that Bloom's taxonomy is the lens through which
394
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:29.880
students have to hear that statement that is at a higher
395
00:18:29.890 --> 00:18:32.090
level because if they don't even know levels exist,
396
00:18:32.090 --> 00:18:34.910
then they have no idea that there's anything other than
397
00:18:34.910 --> 00:18:36.290
memorization and regurgitation.
398
00:18:36.290 --> 00:18:38.090
And I say, Alexandria says,
399
00:18:38.090 --> 00:18:40.900
I wish I had time flexibility to do so.
400
00:18:40.900 --> 00:18:45.060
Well, what I'm gonna suggest actually is you really don't
401
00:18:45.060 --> 00:18:47.180
necessarily have to take any class time.
402
00:18:47.180 --> 00:18:49.250
It helps if you take class time.
403
00:18:49.250 --> 00:18:52.620
And I have a section in the book that talks about that
404
00:18:52.620 --> 00:18:54.500
because of course that's what most faculty say,
405
00:18:54.500 --> 00:18:56.420
well, I really don't have time to do this,
406
00:18:56.420 --> 00:19:00.456
but there's a biology professor who spends a lot of,
407
00:19:00.456 --> 00:19:01.289
well, I shouldn't say a lot of time
408
00:19:01.289 --> 00:19:03.340
because it doesn't take a lot of time.
409
00:19:03.340 --> 00:19:06.340
But she introduces students to this and she revisits it
410
00:19:06.340 --> 00:19:07.340
during the semester.
411
00:19:07.340 --> 00:19:10.187
And I asked her, how do you have time to do this?
412
00:19:10.187 --> 00:19:13.080
And so she said, well, I make time.
413
00:19:13.080 --> 00:19:14.210
She says, I don't have time to do it,
414
00:19:14.210 --> 00:19:17.580
but I make time to do it because I find that when students
415
00:19:17.580 --> 00:19:19.320
understand this information,
416
00:19:19.320 --> 00:19:23.190
I can actually spend less time going into detail on some of
417
00:19:23.190 --> 00:19:26.640
the other things I do because now students are in a position
418
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:29.570
to understand things on their own that I had to
419
00:19:29.570 --> 00:19:31.310
explain and detail.
420
00:19:31.310 --> 00:19:34.240
But there's also a video that I'm going to recommend.
421
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:36.630
In fact, if you just Google go to YouTube, Google,
422
00:19:36.630 --> 00:19:38.690
Saundra, McGuire metacognition.
423
00:19:38.690 --> 00:19:43.690
There's a YouTube video that several faculty I think is now
424
00:19:43.850 --> 00:19:46.630
got maybe over a thousand views,
425
00:19:46.630 --> 00:19:50.740
but sometimes faculty will just assign students to
426
00:19:50.740 --> 00:19:53.760
watch that video and then write a brief reflection
427
00:19:53.760 --> 00:19:56.670
on how they're gonna use that information in the course.
428
00:19:56.670 --> 00:19:59.740
And so you really don't have to take any time at all
429
00:19:59.740 --> 00:20:02.600
out of class time, but it's really important for our
430
00:20:02.600 --> 00:20:03.940
students to understand Bloom's.
431
00:20:03.940 --> 00:20:05.810
I wonder if it helps students recognize that the
432
00:20:05.810 --> 00:20:09.230
memorization that can be their responsibility.
433
00:20:09.230 --> 00:20:11.210
Exactly, that Lennon.
434
00:20:11.210 --> 00:20:14.077
Yes, that's exactly what this professor says.
435
00:20:14.077 --> 00:20:18.400
And it helps the flipp classroom work so much better also
436
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:20.590
when students know what's going on.
437
00:20:20.590 --> 00:20:24.780
So I'm gonna really encourage us to find a way to expose
438
00:20:24.780 --> 00:20:26.150
our students to Bloom's.
439
00:20:26.150 --> 00:20:27.377
And it's your ability to know what you know and
440
00:20:27.377 --> 00:20:30.010
what you don't know so you don't show up at a test or a quiz
441
00:20:30.010 --> 00:20:32.440
thinking, okay, I'm good, I studied all night,
442
00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:33.510
I know this stuff.
443
00:20:33.510 --> 00:20:36.260
And then you get to the test or a quiz and see the first two
444
00:20:36.260 --> 00:20:38.843
items, it's like, oh, oh I guess I don't know this.
445
00:20:39.700 --> 00:20:42.770
And there's a reason though that most students haven't
446
00:20:42.770 --> 00:20:46.320
developed metacognitive skills because it really just wasn't
447
00:20:46.320 --> 00:20:48.490
necessary before.
448
00:20:48.490 --> 00:20:51.400
And to give you an idea about that,
449
00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:52.566
these are data from the
450
00:20:52.566 --> 00:20:55.320
UCLA Higher Education Research Institute,
451
00:20:55.320 --> 00:20:58.770
where every year they survey first year students,
452
00:20:58.770 --> 00:21:01.160
they ask all kinds of students,
453
00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:03.778
students at four year universities,
454
00:21:03.778 --> 00:21:06.120
research one year universities,
455
00:21:06.120 --> 00:21:08.970
two year colleges and they ask a lot of questions,
456
00:21:08.970 --> 00:21:11.630
but I'm particularly interested in the answers to two.
457
00:21:11.630 --> 00:21:15.410
One is the amount of time that students spent doing any
458
00:21:15.410 --> 00:21:18.810
homework at all in 12th grade and the average that they had
459
00:21:18.810 --> 00:21:20.120
when they graduated.
460
00:21:20.120 --> 00:21:22.310
And you'll notice that this number hovers in the
461
00:21:22.310 --> 00:21:25.280
low forties, it started at 37.3.
462
00:21:25.280 --> 00:21:29.210
Now it's about 43, but the percent who graduated with an
463
00:21:29.210 --> 00:21:34.210
A average you'll notice this number past 50% in 2013.
464
00:21:34.460 --> 00:21:36.050
And it is now,
465
00:21:36.050 --> 00:21:39.520
in 2019, the last year for which the data were available
466
00:21:39.520 --> 00:21:40.920
almost 60%.
467
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:44.140
And so what that means is that students aren't spending any
468
00:21:44.140 --> 00:21:47.070
time outside of class doing any homework in high school,
469
00:21:47.070 --> 00:21:48.190
but they're making A's.
470
00:21:48.190 --> 00:21:50.520
And so I always say that our students are
471
00:21:50.520 --> 00:21:52.530
just being good scientists.
472
00:21:52.530 --> 00:21:55.610
They're using all of the data that they've accumulated up to
473
00:21:55.610 --> 00:21:58.870
this point in time and their data tell them
474
00:21:58.870 --> 00:22:00.200
I don't have to do anything outta class,
475
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:01.450
I'm still gonna make an A.
476
00:22:01.450 --> 00:22:04.460
And so they are acting on that when they get to our
477
00:22:04.460 --> 00:22:09.460
institutions and so we have to divest them of that notion.
478
00:22:09.760 --> 00:22:12.820
And I got some additional information about
479
00:22:12.820 --> 00:22:14.430
student behavior.
480
00:22:14.430 --> 00:22:16.310
When I asked students the following questions.
481
00:22:16.310 --> 00:22:18.050
And I want you to put in the chat box,
482
00:22:18.050 --> 00:22:20.600
how you think most students answered.
483
00:22:20.600 --> 00:22:23.300
The first question I asked was what did most of
484
00:22:23.300 --> 00:22:25.570
your teachers do in high school,
485
00:22:25.570 --> 00:22:27.630
the class period before the test?
486
00:22:27.630 --> 00:22:30.130
And put in the chat box tell me please what you think
487
00:22:30.130 --> 00:22:32.200
they said, what was the answer?
488
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:35.250
Okay, review absolutely Deborah, review
489
00:22:35.250 --> 00:22:36.670
that's exactly what I thought.
490
00:22:36.670 --> 00:22:38.000
I was expecting that.
491
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:41.240
And so then my second question was, well,
492
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.103
what did they do during the review and put in the chat box
493
00:22:45.103 --> 00:22:48.363
tell me what you think they did during the review.
494
00:22:49.890 --> 00:22:53.310
And I'll tell you what I thought they were gonna say, okay,
495
00:22:53.310 --> 00:22:54.790
look at slides.
496
00:22:54.790 --> 00:22:57.650
Okay, let me take a couple of other responses
497
00:22:57.650 --> 00:22:58.760
in the chat box.
498
00:22:58.760 --> 00:23:02.470
I went over material that will be on the test, okay.
499
00:23:02.470 --> 00:23:04.260
And Brittany, you are,
500
00:23:04.260 --> 00:23:06.240
okay, review games, et cetera.
501
00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:10.620
Okay, and so Brittany right now is closest to
502
00:23:10.620 --> 00:23:13.090
what they actually said.
503
00:23:13.090 --> 00:23:15.420
Because actually they didn't say review material
504
00:23:15.420 --> 00:23:17.250
that would be on the test.
505
00:23:17.250 --> 00:23:18.083
They said,
506
00:23:18.083 --> 00:23:21.560
they gave us the questions and we went over the answers.
507
00:23:21.560 --> 00:23:22.830
They gave us the test questions and
508
00:23:22.830 --> 00:23:24.090
we went over the answers.
509
00:23:24.090 --> 00:23:25.320
Now I was shocked.
510
00:23:25.320 --> 00:23:27.220
So put in the chat box yes or no.
511
00:23:27.220 --> 00:23:31.620
If you realized that this is going on in high schools and
512
00:23:31.620 --> 00:23:33.720
the first group of students I talked with about this were
513
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:36.470
students from Louisiana and LSU.
514
00:23:36.470 --> 00:23:38.850
And I thought it was a Louisiana phenomenon,
515
00:23:38.850 --> 00:23:42.380
but I have asked this question to students now all over the
516
00:23:42.380 --> 00:23:44.590
country and I get the same thing.
517
00:23:44.590 --> 00:23:47.000
I do trainings with tutors.
518
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:50.110
And I ask in a group of tutors I ask this and
519
00:23:50.110 --> 00:23:51.680
they say the same thing.
520
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:54.600
And so what I thought they were gonna say is what you put in
521
00:23:54.600 --> 00:23:57.640
the chat box, and I was all set to say yes,
522
00:23:57.640 --> 00:23:59.800
but we don't do that at the university,
523
00:23:59.800 --> 00:24:01.940
you have to do that yourself.
524
00:24:01.940 --> 00:24:04.080
But they said, when they said, well,
525
00:24:04.080 --> 00:24:05.780
they gave us the test questions and we went over the
526
00:24:05.780 --> 00:24:07.690
answers, I said, oh, okay.
527
00:24:07.690 --> 00:24:11.790
Well, if you had never gone to class a single day,
528
00:24:11.790 --> 00:24:13.900
except just the day before the test,
529
00:24:13.900 --> 00:24:16.680
and you went to class that day and you paid really close
530
00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:19.210
attention to what was going on in the class.
531
00:24:19.210 --> 00:24:22.340
What do you think the lowest grade you would've made on the
532
00:24:22.340 --> 00:24:24.810
test that day and put in the chat box
533
00:24:24.810 --> 00:24:26.570
what you think that was.
534
00:24:26.570 --> 00:24:28.163
Okay, so let's see.
535
00:24:29.566 --> 00:24:31.520
Is it Jerry, (indistinct), oh, Jen, okay.
536
00:24:31.520 --> 00:24:33.570
He said, oh, you read it in the book, yeah.
537
00:24:33.570 --> 00:24:38.197
Okay, B minus, let me get a couple of more responses.
538
00:24:39.850 --> 00:24:42.910
Okay, A actually a very few students said A,
539
00:24:42.910 --> 00:24:46.340
a few students said C, but most of them said B.
540
00:24:46.340 --> 00:24:51.330
And so that really helped me understand why we need to help
541
00:24:51.330 --> 00:24:55.510
students have a reality check to find out what's going on at
542
00:24:55.510 --> 00:24:56.343
the university.
543
00:24:56.343 --> 00:24:58.870
But we can't get mad at them because it's not their fault
544
00:24:58.870 --> 00:25:01.730
that they don't know this because nobody's ever exposed
545
00:25:01.730 --> 00:25:03.055
these ideas to them.
546
00:25:03.055 --> 00:25:07.070
There was an article and inside higher ed about
547
00:25:07.070 --> 00:25:09.200
how students feel about active learning.
548
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:12.700
We all are trying to increase the amount of active learning
549
00:25:12.700 --> 00:25:16.851
that we do and how many of you have found yes or no?
550
00:25:16.851 --> 00:25:20.220
That students tend to resist active learning.
551
00:25:20.220 --> 00:25:22.270
They don't really like it so much.
552
00:25:22.270 --> 00:25:24.520
Yes, if you found that your students don't really like it
553
00:25:24.520 --> 00:25:26.560
and just put no, if your students are fine
554
00:25:26.560 --> 00:25:27.770
with active learning.
555
00:25:27.770 --> 00:25:30.030
And okay, so I'm seeing a yes.
556
00:25:30.030 --> 00:25:33.950
Yes, and what this article says is that students think that
557
00:25:33.950 --> 00:25:35.910
they're learning a lot more.
558
00:25:35.910 --> 00:25:39.730
If there's a lecturer who just gives them the information,
559
00:25:39.730 --> 00:25:43.110
then if they are required to talk to their neighbor.
560
00:25:43.110 --> 00:25:45.290
Okay, it seem to enjoy it while it's happening
561
00:25:45.290 --> 00:25:49.220
but then in the student evals they complain exactly, yes.
562
00:25:49.220 --> 00:25:54.220
And so what I recommend is sharing with students
563
00:25:54.230 --> 00:25:56.090
the research in these areas.
564
00:25:56.090 --> 00:25:57.810
Because one of the surprising things to me
565
00:25:57.810 --> 00:26:01.040
when I started doing this was the positive response is
566
00:26:01.040 --> 00:26:02.490
students had to research.
567
00:26:02.490 --> 00:26:06.890
If we said what the research says is then they get a whole
568
00:26:06.890 --> 00:26:09.840
different perspective and a different attitude.
569
00:26:09.840 --> 00:26:12.650
And also with my approach,
570
00:26:12.650 --> 00:26:15.170
I want to ask reflection questions.
571
00:26:15.170 --> 00:26:17.850
I don't like to tell students what to do.
572
00:26:17.850 --> 00:26:22.640
I like to ask them questions that will help them reflect on
573
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:24.990
their past behavior and the current situation.
574
00:26:24.990 --> 00:26:27.310
And then they give me the answers.
575
00:26:27.310 --> 00:26:29.840
They give me the information I would've given to them.
576
00:26:29.840 --> 00:26:32.720
And so, because they come up with the information,
577
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:35.480
it's much more likely for them to act on it.
578
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:38.040
Okay, love it in small classes with discrete activities and
579
00:26:38.040 --> 00:26:40.370
high enrollment classes, okay, great.
580
00:26:40.370 --> 00:26:43.120
And so what all this means is that we as faculty,
581
00:26:43.120 --> 00:26:45.430
we have to help students make that transition.
582
00:26:45.430 --> 00:26:48.300
First of all, identify what the gap is between
583
00:26:48.300 --> 00:26:49.760
what they're currently doing
584
00:26:49.760 --> 00:26:52.470
that's leading to their current level of learning and
585
00:26:52.470 --> 00:26:53.920
lower grades than they would like,
586
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:56.640
and the productive behavior that's gonna lead to desired
587
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.390
learning and the grades that they want to get.
588
00:27:00.390 --> 00:27:04.850
Now, you have a very, very valuable resource at UVM,
589
00:27:04.850 --> 00:27:08.870
your Center for Academic Success and just put in the
590
00:27:08.870 --> 00:27:10.020
chat box yes or no
591
00:27:10.020 --> 00:27:14.820
if you would say that you are very familiar with that.
592
00:27:14.820 --> 00:27:16.270
If I called you up and said,
593
00:27:16.270 --> 00:27:18.990
tell me exactly what that center does and what goes on over
594
00:27:18.990 --> 00:27:21.420
there, give me a yes or no in the chat box.
595
00:27:21.420 --> 00:27:26.260
If you would be able to hold at least give me five minutes
596
00:27:26.260 --> 00:27:28.150
on what that center does.
597
00:27:28.150 --> 00:27:29.350
Give me a yes or no.
598
00:27:29.350 --> 00:27:31.380
Okay, somewhat familiar.
599
00:27:31.380 --> 00:27:34.430
Okay, absolutely yes, no love the center.
600
00:27:34.430 --> 00:27:35.263
Okay, yes.
601
00:27:35.263 --> 00:27:38.570
So it looks like a lot of you are that is your,
602
00:27:38.570 --> 00:27:40.440
a very, very good resource.
603
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:43.890
They know all this stuff that I'm talking about and more.
604
00:27:43.890 --> 00:27:48.760
So please direct your students there and in fact,
605
00:27:48.760 --> 00:27:51.880
they're very, very valuable partners in this effort
606
00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:53.650
because they can work with you to help
607
00:27:53.650 --> 00:27:55.020
students understand this.
608
00:27:55.020 --> 00:27:59.790
And so what I'm gonna do is introduce you to some of the
609
00:27:59.790 --> 00:28:03.880
very important strategies by way of introducing you
610
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:04.850
to students.
611
00:28:04.850 --> 00:28:06.800
And the first student is Dana,
612
00:28:06.800 --> 00:28:08.880
who was a first year physics student.
613
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:13.630
And she was about to drop out of the physics major
614
00:28:13.630 --> 00:28:15.160
after she'd made a 54.
615
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:19.230
I met her at a change major workshop that was being given by
616
00:28:19.230 --> 00:28:21.140
one of the professional advisors and we had
617
00:28:21.140 --> 00:28:24.330
professional advisor in the session, at least one.
618
00:28:24.330 --> 00:28:27.460
And so I, she was gonna change her major.
619
00:28:27.460 --> 00:28:31.800
And so when she was leaving, I asked her if she had about a,
620
00:28:31.800 --> 00:28:34.610
not a minute, an hour to talk with me in the office.
621
00:28:34.610 --> 00:28:35.540
And she said, sure.
622
00:28:35.540 --> 00:28:36.373
And I said, look,
623
00:28:36.373 --> 00:28:38.360
I'm not gonna try to talk you out of leaving physics,
624
00:28:38.360 --> 00:28:40.020
because if you wanna do something else,
625
00:28:40.020 --> 00:28:42.090
that is perfectly fine with me.
626
00:28:42.090 --> 00:28:44.210
But I want you to know that you're leaving physics
627
00:28:44.210 --> 00:28:46.190
not because you can't do it,
628
00:28:46.190 --> 00:28:48.330
but because you've chosen to do something else.
629
00:28:48.330 --> 00:28:51.110
And so she did, we spent about an hour.
630
00:28:51.110 --> 00:28:54.760
This was her next exam score 97,90 on the final.
631
00:28:54.760 --> 00:28:56.790
She had a 4.0 that semester.
632
00:28:56.790 --> 00:29:01.170
And she is now happily practicing medical physics.
633
00:29:01.170 --> 00:29:04.430
And her problem was that before she learned about
634
00:29:04.430 --> 00:29:06.470
metacognition and the problem solving,
635
00:29:06.470 --> 00:29:08.370
the homework approach, we're gonna talk about,
636
00:29:08.370 --> 00:29:10.040
she was memorizing formulas.
637
00:29:10.040 --> 00:29:12.480
She was using online homework programs,
638
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:15.716
but then after she learned about how she could use
639
00:29:15.716 --> 00:29:16.960
metacognitive strategies,
640
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:19.215
she could solve problems on her own.
641
00:29:19.215 --> 00:29:21.570
Then that's when she really took off.
642
00:29:21.570 --> 00:29:26.570
And so in the next slide, now this is, she's gonna speak.
643
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:30.620
And I found that in Microsoft teams, for some reason,
644
00:29:30.620 --> 00:29:33.950
when I hit start, some of you will hear her,
645
00:29:33.950 --> 00:29:35.220
but others may not.
646
00:29:35.220 --> 00:29:38.470
So if you're not hearing anything after I hit start,
647
00:29:38.470 --> 00:29:41.410
then you have to click the little arrow yourself
648
00:29:41.410 --> 00:29:43.230
and you will start to hear her.
649
00:29:43.230 --> 00:29:45.320
So I'm gonna hit start
650
00:29:45.320 --> 00:29:47.470
and if you don't hear anything within five seconds,
651
00:29:47.470 --> 00:29:49.710
then hit start so we can all hear what she says.
652
00:29:49.710 --> 00:29:51.540
And I'm gonna ask you to give me a thumbs up
653
00:29:51.540 --> 00:29:54.540
if you can hear her or thumbs down if you cant.
654
00:29:54.540 --> 00:29:59.170
And I can tell you, she actually starts off pretty softly
655
00:29:59.170 --> 00:30:01.580
and so you've got to listen very carefully,
656
00:30:01.580 --> 00:30:04.170
but she gets louder as it goes on.
657
00:30:04.170 --> 00:30:05.883
Okay, so here we go.
658
00:32:38.284 --> 00:32:39.960
Okay, and I know some of you had to start it yourself,
659
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:41.670
so I'll give another five seconds
660
00:32:44.180 --> 00:32:45.803
so everybody gets to the end.
661
00:32:50.740 --> 00:32:54.300
Okay, so I'm assuming everybody's to the end now.
662
00:32:54.300 --> 00:32:55.950
Yeah, and so Dana's story.
663
00:32:55.950 --> 00:32:58.740
Now, one thing she said that was a little bit off.
664
00:32:58.740 --> 00:32:59.573
She said that, you know,
665
00:32:59.573 --> 00:33:02.700
we worked together the whole semester and actually we did
666
00:33:02.700 --> 00:33:03.930
work together the whole semester
667
00:33:03.930 --> 00:33:05.410
because I became her mentor.
668
00:33:05.410 --> 00:33:08.630
But I only spent that one hour talking with her about
669
00:33:08.630 --> 00:33:11.030
metacognition and the strategies
670
00:33:11.030 --> 00:33:14.900
and after that she took off
671
00:33:14.900 --> 00:33:17.330
when she said that I'm phenomenal was not me.
672
00:33:17.330 --> 00:33:20.385
I'm not phenomenal, it's the strategies that are phenomenal.
673
00:33:20.385 --> 00:33:24.108
And they really are as she said, the golden ticket
674
00:33:24.108 --> 00:33:25.390
to success.
675
00:33:25.390 --> 00:33:28.410
And so what I taught Dana essentially,
676
00:33:28.410 --> 00:33:32.110
was how to do her homework differently.
677
00:33:32.110 --> 00:33:34.900
What I learned at Cornell was most students will start their
678
00:33:34.900 --> 00:33:38.620
homework the night before, they will read a problem
679
00:33:38.620 --> 00:33:42.060
and they'll flip back in the chapter to find an example of
680
00:33:42.060 --> 00:33:45.370
that problem and just follow the example and turn the
681
00:33:45.370 --> 00:33:46.203
homework in.
682
00:33:46.203 --> 00:33:47.470
Or if it's a question they'll flip back,
683
00:33:47.470 --> 00:33:50.580
find a discussion of what they've gotta answer.
684
00:33:50.580 --> 00:33:52.830
And then they answer and they turn it in.
685
00:33:52.830 --> 00:33:56.663
And of course they do very well on the homework because the
686
00:33:56.663 --> 00:33:59.310
book has done the homework for them.
687
00:33:59.310 --> 00:34:02.810
And so by the time when they get to the test or quiz,
688
00:34:02.810 --> 00:34:04.850
then they have to do it on their own
689
00:34:04.850 --> 00:34:07.100
and that's when things go south.
690
00:34:07.100 --> 00:34:09.350
So let me just ask yes or no in the chat box,
691
00:34:09.350 --> 00:34:12.890
have you had students who did really well on homework,
692
00:34:12.890 --> 00:34:16.140
but then they got D or Fs on the tests.
693
00:34:16.140 --> 00:34:18.453
Have you ever seen that phenomenon?
694
00:34:20.910 --> 00:34:21.743
Okay, yeah
695
00:34:21.743 --> 00:34:24.530
and students have no idea why that's the case
696
00:34:24.530 --> 00:34:27.680
because when they do the home work, I mean, they really,
697
00:34:27.680 --> 00:34:29.950
in their heart of hearts, as we say in Louisiana,
698
00:34:29.950 --> 00:34:31.070
bless their hearts,
699
00:34:31.070 --> 00:34:34.130
they do think that they've done the homework.
700
00:34:34.130 --> 00:34:36.080
But yes, okay, Chegg,
701
00:34:36.080 --> 00:34:38.620
that's coming up in just a minute, Luke.
702
00:34:38.620 --> 00:34:41.620
And so what I talk with students about,
703
00:34:41.620 --> 00:34:45.370
and in the book I really lay out the whole process
704
00:34:45.370 --> 00:34:47.340
so this is kind of the abbreviated version.
705
00:34:47.340 --> 00:34:51.110
But we talk about the fact that cuz they were telling me
706
00:34:51.110 --> 00:34:52.920
that this is what they do, they flip back.
707
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:54.820
So I said, what you've gotta do is
708
00:34:54.820 --> 00:34:56.670
you've gotta study material first
709
00:34:56.670 --> 00:34:59.140
before you even look at the first problem or question.
710
00:34:59.140 --> 00:35:01.080
And then when you get to an example,
711
00:35:01.080 --> 00:35:04.190
just read the problem statement and work at yourself.
712
00:35:04.190 --> 00:35:06.210
If you study the information,
713
00:35:06.210 --> 00:35:09.910
then you will be able to at least start that example.
714
00:35:09.910 --> 00:35:12.850
And you'll probably be able to work it and just work it
715
00:35:12.850 --> 00:35:14.320
until you get to an answer.
716
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:15.860
And when you've gotten to an answer,
717
00:35:15.860 --> 00:35:19.390
just compare the answer you got with the answer in the book.
718
00:35:19.390 --> 00:35:20.950
If you got the same answer,
719
00:35:20.950 --> 00:35:22.840
you can look at what the author did,
720
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:25.390
but if you didn't get the same answer, don't look yet,
721
00:35:25.390 --> 00:35:27.840
try to figure out where your mistake was.
722
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:31.410
And then I ask students at this point in the process
723
00:35:31.410 --> 00:35:34.040
is making a mistake good or bad.
724
00:35:34.040 --> 00:35:35.940
And I know quite a few of you read the book and
725
00:35:35.940 --> 00:35:36.830
that's fantastic.
726
00:35:36.830 --> 00:35:39.380
And so if you read the book, you will know the answer.
727
00:35:39.380 --> 00:35:43.340
So don't put your response in the chat box please.
728
00:35:43.340 --> 00:35:48.330
But I'm gonna ask everybody else when I tell students,
729
00:35:48.330 --> 00:35:51.180
if you don't, if you didn't get the same answer,
730
00:35:51.180 --> 00:35:52.910
then look at what the,
731
00:35:52.910 --> 00:35:55.550
then okay, if you didn't get the same answer,
732
00:35:55.550 --> 00:35:58.340
don't look yet, try to figure out where your mistake was.
733
00:35:58.340 --> 00:36:01.230
And I'll ask students at this point in the process,
734
00:36:01.230 --> 00:36:04.980
do you think making a mistake is good or bad and put in the
735
00:36:04.980 --> 00:36:07.290
chat box for me, good or bad?
736
00:36:07.290 --> 00:36:10.270
What do you think students say about making a mistake
737
00:36:10.270 --> 00:36:11.273
at this point?
738
00:36:13.290 --> 00:36:16.810
Okay, I see one good.
739
00:36:16.810 --> 00:36:19.330
I see bad, okay, great.
740
00:36:19.330 --> 00:36:20.790
Okay, now Luke said good.
741
00:36:20.790 --> 00:36:23.393
So Luke had you read the book or not?
742
00:36:26.010 --> 00:36:28.880
Bad because you're the only one who said good so far.
743
00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:30.840
Oh, there you are, yes.
744
00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:33.189
I haven't read the book yet.
745
00:36:33.189 --> 00:36:34.870
I think it's good.
746
00:36:34.870 --> 00:36:35.703
I, the students,
747
00:36:35.703 --> 00:36:37.870
I started typing that before you said what the students
748
00:36:37.870 --> 00:36:40.260
think, the students think it's bad to make.
749
00:36:40.260 --> 00:36:41.093
Okay, all right.
750
00:36:41.093 --> 00:36:43.980
We'll see I was just about to give you full credit,
751
00:36:43.980 --> 00:36:47.110
but now you've come clean.
752
00:36:47.110 --> 00:36:49.180
And you said that the students say bad,
753
00:36:49.180 --> 00:36:51.730
faculty always say, students say bad.
754
00:36:51.730 --> 00:36:53.790
Students always say good.
755
00:36:53.790 --> 00:36:55.080
I've never had a student.
756
00:36:55.080 --> 00:36:58.220
And yeah, I've never had a student audience that said bad,
757
00:36:58.220 --> 00:37:02.630
but I tell students that faculty say that they say bad.
758
00:37:02.630 --> 00:37:04.210
And so, yeah.
759
00:37:04.210 --> 00:37:05.840
And you say it's good.
760
00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:08.110
And so put in the chat box for me, please.
761
00:37:08.110 --> 00:37:12.400
Why is making a mistake good at this point?
762
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:15.500
Why would you say making a mistake is good at this point?
763
00:37:15.500 --> 00:37:18.730
Because I guarantee you that what you're gonna tell me is
764
00:37:18.730 --> 00:37:20.140
exactly that yeah.
765
00:37:20.140 --> 00:37:22.220
Deborah, the number one thing is they say,
766
00:37:22.220 --> 00:37:24.660
you learn from mistakes.
767
00:37:24.660 --> 00:37:25.930
They say, yeah, they say,
768
00:37:25.930 --> 00:37:29.090
now I know where my brain is having a tendency to go wrong.
769
00:37:29.090 --> 00:37:32.040
And absolutely Jen, they say, it's not the test.
770
00:37:32.040 --> 00:37:36.460
And so I'm not gonna lose points on the test and I have time
771
00:37:36.460 --> 00:37:38.770
to make corrections, absolutely.
772
00:37:38.770 --> 00:37:40.840
But before we ask that question,
773
00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:42.610
students have never thought about, well,
774
00:37:42.610 --> 00:37:44.900
they haven't even given themselves a chance to make a
775
00:37:44.900 --> 00:37:48.610
mistake cuz they're just following what was in the example.
776
00:37:48.610 --> 00:37:53.263
And so, and I asked students, have you ever had a case
777
00:37:54.850 --> 00:37:57.030
where you got a test back and you looked at it.
778
00:37:57.030 --> 00:37:59.330
But now let me ask you this form of the question.
779
00:37:59.330 --> 00:38:02.236
Have you ever had a student who came to you and they
780
00:38:02.236 --> 00:38:04.370
looked at the test and they said, oh,
781
00:38:04.370 --> 00:38:05.520
I would've done so much better,
782
00:38:05.520 --> 00:38:07.090
but I just made simple mistakes.
783
00:38:07.090 --> 00:38:09.280
I made so many careless, simple mistakes.
784
00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:11.030
Has that ever happened?
785
00:38:11.030 --> 00:38:12.690
Have you heard that from students?
786
00:38:12.690 --> 00:38:14.100
Cause when I asked students,
787
00:38:14.100 --> 00:38:16.480
if that's what they've heard and that's happened to them and
788
00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:17.800
they said, oh yeah, all the time.
789
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:20.360
And I tell them, I used to think the same thing I said, oh,
790
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:21.640
these are careless mistakes.
791
00:38:21.640 --> 00:38:22.760
But I said,
792
00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:25.890
now I believe that there's no such thing as
793
00:38:25.890 --> 00:38:27.513
just careless mistakes.
794
00:38:29.070 --> 00:38:31.510
Mistakes are things that have to be made.
795
00:38:31.510 --> 00:38:34.820
Mistakes only look careless in retrospect,
796
00:38:34.820 --> 00:38:37.053
once you know what the right thing is, you know,
797
00:38:37.053 --> 00:38:39.040
a mistake looks so simple,
798
00:38:39.040 --> 00:38:40.827
but mistakes are things that have to be made.
799
00:38:40.827 --> 00:38:43.690
And I'll ask students so either you gonna make them during
800
00:38:43.690 --> 00:38:46.740
this process or where you going to make them.
801
00:38:46.740 --> 00:38:48.690
And what do you think students tell me?
802
00:38:50.350 --> 00:38:53.580
If you don't make the mistakes now during this process,
803
00:38:53.580 --> 00:38:54.930
doing your homework,
804
00:38:54.930 --> 00:38:59.080
where are you destined to make the mistakes?
805
00:38:59.080 --> 00:39:00.860
And put in the chat box what you think too.
806
00:39:00.860 --> 00:39:03.910
Exactly, yeah, they say on the test.
807
00:39:03.910 --> 00:39:07.470
And so I'm not telling them you need to do this or you're
808
00:39:07.470 --> 00:39:08.860
gonna screw up on the test.
809
00:39:08.860 --> 00:39:11.130
They're telling me if I don't do this,
810
00:39:11.130 --> 00:39:12.530
I'm gonna mess up on the test.
811
00:39:12.530 --> 00:39:15.930
And so it is much more likely that they're gonna change
812
00:39:15.930 --> 00:39:16.780
their behavior.
813
00:39:16.780 --> 00:39:18.470
So let me, let this catch up check to see if it's correct
814
00:39:18.470 --> 00:39:20.800
if it's not figure out where your mistake was.
815
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:23.290
And that's just the examples I tell them when you get to the
816
00:39:23.290 --> 00:39:26.620
actual homework problems, treat them as if it's a test
817
00:39:26.620 --> 00:39:29.010
or a quiz, try to do three or four.
818
00:39:29.010 --> 00:39:29.843
Speed it up,
819
00:39:29.843 --> 00:39:33.560
doing it little faster because that's what you're gonna have
820
00:39:33.560 --> 00:39:35.840
to do on a test or a quiz.
821
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:40.800
And many students don't get the most that they could on test
822
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:43.560
and quizzes not because they don't know the answers,
823
00:39:43.560 --> 00:39:44.930
but they run out of time.
824
00:39:44.930 --> 00:39:46.740
They run out of time because they're plotting through
825
00:39:46.740 --> 00:39:49.750
everything slowly because you have as much time as you want
826
00:39:49.750 --> 00:39:51.740
when you're doing homework.
827
00:39:51.740 --> 00:39:55.420
But if you practice this before the test or a quiz,
828
00:39:55.420 --> 00:39:57.130
then it's much more likely you're gonna do it.
829
00:39:57.130 --> 00:39:58.540
And I see Luke has a hand up.
830
00:39:58.540 --> 00:39:59.543
Yes, go ahead, Luke.
831
00:40:00.657 --> 00:40:03.660
So we make a big thing about letting them work on homework
832
00:40:03.660 --> 00:40:04.770
in groups.
833
00:40:04.770 --> 00:40:07.703
Like we do an active learning physics class and we have them
834
00:40:07.703 --> 00:40:11.100
work in groups and then we have them work in groups
835
00:40:11.100 --> 00:40:12.093
on the homework.
836
00:40:13.823 --> 00:40:15.020
Do you discourage that?
837
00:40:15.020 --> 00:40:17.470
Do you want them to do the homework by themselves?
838
00:40:17.470 --> 00:40:19.910
Well, okay, that's an excellent question.
839
00:40:19.910 --> 00:40:22.010
I love students working in groups,
840
00:40:22.010 --> 00:40:25.320
but I want them to try the homework before
841
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:26.200
they come to the group.
842
00:40:26.200 --> 00:40:27.820
So when they get to the group,
843
00:40:27.820 --> 00:40:32.160
everybody should have tried the homework problems and bring
844
00:40:32.160 --> 00:40:33.870
that to the group work.
845
00:40:33.870 --> 00:40:35.715
And the reason is because,
846
00:40:35.715 --> 00:40:39.210
and groups always you've got these super dedicated people
847
00:40:39.210 --> 00:40:40.830
who are gonna work everything.
848
00:40:40.830 --> 00:40:43.080
And then if the group comes together and there are people
849
00:40:43.080 --> 00:40:44.810
who haven't even looked at it or tried it,
850
00:40:44.810 --> 00:40:48.030
they're gonna be relying on these other people to kind of
851
00:40:48.030 --> 00:40:48.863
lead them through.
852
00:40:48.863 --> 00:40:52.500
It's almost like having the example in the book to rely on.
853
00:40:52.500 --> 00:40:56.220
And so if they've never had a chance to think about the way
854
00:40:56.220 --> 00:40:58.560
they would work the problem themselves,
855
00:40:58.560 --> 00:41:02.000
then that opportunity is forever lost
856
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:04.300
when they hear somebody else explain it.
857
00:41:04.300 --> 00:41:06.360
And so that's what I tell students all the time,
858
00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:09.300
you've gotta figure out how your brain wants to approach
859
00:41:09.300 --> 00:41:12.930
this problem before you see or hear how anybody else is
860
00:41:12.930 --> 00:41:16.070
doing it, because that's the way you are going to learn it.
861
00:41:16.070 --> 00:41:19.300
And one of the things that surprised me about students is
862
00:41:19.300 --> 00:41:23.220
when I explained the rationale for what I'm recommending,
863
00:41:23.220 --> 00:41:24.840
they get it, they see it
864
00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:29.430
and they're much more willing to do this as opposed to
865
00:41:29.430 --> 00:41:30.930
just relying on somebody else.
866
00:41:30.930 --> 00:41:32.960
So I think that group work is great,
867
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:35.720
but I think having them,
868
00:41:35.720 --> 00:41:39.280
having a discussion with them about why it's important for
869
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:42.590
them to do the problems before they come together as a group
870
00:41:42.590 --> 00:41:44.610
is also very helpful.
871
00:41:44.610 --> 00:41:45.590
Okay, and I see Lennon says,
872
00:41:45.590 --> 00:41:47.750
I tell them when working in groups to make sure everyone
873
00:41:47.750 --> 00:41:51.000
takes a turn on presenting a problem or a solution.
874
00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:53.960
And yeah, and that's great,
875
00:41:53.960 --> 00:41:57.890
but I think many of them will resist that if they don't
876
00:41:57.890 --> 00:42:00.280
really understand why that's the case.
877
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:02.880
And I find that going through this information actually
878
00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:06.540
helps them understand why that's so important to do that.
879
00:42:06.540 --> 00:42:07.700
Absolutely.
880
00:42:07.700 --> 00:42:09.710
And then the next strategy I'm gonna share with you is a
881
00:42:09.710 --> 00:42:14.500
reading strategy that a psychology student used,
882
00:42:14.500 --> 00:42:17.640
he made a 47 and 52 on the first two tests.
883
00:42:17.640 --> 00:42:19.960
I talked with him about 30 minutes the night before the
884
00:42:19.960 --> 00:42:23.100
third test, he made an 82, then 86 on the next one.
885
00:42:23.100 --> 00:42:26.470
So I took him to lunch to find out, what are you doing?
886
00:42:26.470 --> 00:42:28.260
And so his response to me, he said,
887
00:42:28.260 --> 00:42:30.570
I'm just doing as you told me to do.
888
00:42:30.570 --> 00:42:34.100
And what it was, was a reading strategy because he told me
889
00:42:34.100 --> 00:42:35.740
that he would do the readings,
890
00:42:35.740 --> 00:42:37.650
but when he got to the test or quiz,
891
00:42:37.650 --> 00:42:40.270
he could recognize some of the terms,
892
00:42:40.270 --> 00:42:43.000
but he didn't remember it well enough to get
893
00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:43.960
the questions right.
894
00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:47.710
And so there's a very specific reading strategy.
895
00:42:47.710 --> 00:42:50.867
It's SQ5R and there are other ones it's, you know, so,
896
00:42:50.867 --> 00:42:55.003
and it started out actually SQ3R and then it went to 4R
897
00:42:55.003 --> 00:42:59.140
and now it's 5R and very simple to teach students this
898
00:42:59.140 --> 00:43:02.050
and typically involves really just previewing the text
899
00:43:02.050 --> 00:43:06.220
before you do the reading so that you give your brain
900
00:43:06.220 --> 00:43:08.900
a big picture of what you are about to read.
901
00:43:08.900 --> 00:43:11.120
Because what we know from the cognitive science literature
902
00:43:11.120 --> 00:43:13.460
is that if the brain has a big picture,
903
00:43:13.460 --> 00:43:15.130
if it's trying to learn something new,
904
00:43:15.130 --> 00:43:16.370
if it has an overview,
905
00:43:16.370 --> 00:43:18.430
a big picture of what it's about to learn,
906
00:43:18.430 --> 00:43:22.110
and then it starts getting individual details to fit in that
907
00:43:22.110 --> 00:43:23.010
big picture,
908
00:43:23.010 --> 00:43:26.460
it's much more efficient than if it starts out getting the
909
00:43:26.460 --> 00:43:29.880
individual details, trying to create its own big picture.
910
00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:32.670
And so if you do that preview by looking at the bold phase
911
00:43:32.670 --> 00:43:35.830
print, the italicized words, any charts or graphs,
912
00:43:35.830 --> 00:43:39.390
so your brain knows what it's gonna be reading about.
913
00:43:39.390 --> 00:43:42.630
And then you come up with questions that you want the
914
00:43:42.630 --> 00:43:44.380
reading to answer for you.
915
00:43:44.380 --> 00:43:46.850
So for example, if I were reading a psychology book,
916
00:43:46.850 --> 00:43:49.360
I might see positive reinforcement,
917
00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:52.680
negative reinforcement and punishment and a chapter.
918
00:43:52.680 --> 00:43:53.570
And so I might say, well,
919
00:43:53.570 --> 00:43:55.550
I wonder what this thing's gonna say is the difference
920
00:43:55.550 --> 00:43:58.010
between negative reinforcement and punishment,
921
00:43:58.010 --> 00:44:00.030
because they both sound pretty bad to me.
922
00:44:00.030 --> 00:44:03.450
So you've given yourself a purpose for doing the reading.
923
00:44:03.450 --> 00:44:04.940
And then when you start to read,
924
00:44:04.940 --> 00:44:07.210
just read the first paragraph, stop,
925
00:44:07.210 --> 00:44:09.050
put that information in your own words,
926
00:44:09.050 --> 00:44:12.230
then read the second paragraph and stop,
927
00:44:12.230 --> 00:44:14.530
put that information in your own words and try to fold in
928
00:44:14.530 --> 00:44:15.880
what was in the first paragraph
929
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:18.920
and then do subsequent paragraphs the same way.
930
00:44:18.920 --> 00:44:22.490
And I, well let me just ask you to put in the chat box.
931
00:44:22.490 --> 00:44:24.530
Does it sound like if you gotta do all that,
932
00:44:24.530 --> 00:44:27.363
it's gonna take a long time to get through the reading.
933
00:44:28.339 --> 00:44:29.970
Does it sound like it's gonna take,
934
00:44:29.970 --> 00:44:32.290
okay, instructors providing the reading questions,
935
00:44:32.290 --> 00:44:34.090
scaffolds as takeaway the students agency
936
00:44:34.090 --> 00:44:35.140
of development (indistinct).
937
00:44:35.140 --> 00:44:37.133
Okay, I'll get to that one.
938
00:44:38.930 --> 00:44:41.330
Okay, so my question was,
939
00:44:41.330 --> 00:44:44.080
does it sound like this reading strategy that we're talking
940
00:44:44.080 --> 00:44:47.600
about is gonna take longer to do the reading?
941
00:44:47.600 --> 00:44:49.310
Okay, so it sounds slow.
942
00:44:49.310 --> 00:44:51.630
Yes, she had that big picture.
943
00:44:51.630 --> 00:44:53.220
Okay, yes and it does.
944
00:44:53.220 --> 00:44:56.060
And when I ask student, I mean, then I ask students,
945
00:44:56.060 --> 00:44:57.660
does it sound like it's gonna take a lot longer
946
00:44:57.660 --> 00:44:58.670
they'll say yes.
947
00:44:58.670 --> 00:45:02.150
But let me go back to the question in the chat box about
948
00:45:02.150 --> 00:45:03.586
giving reading questions.
949
00:45:03.586 --> 00:45:07.240
No, I think that giving reading questions is absolutely fine
950
00:45:07.240 --> 00:45:08.790
as a scaffolding,
951
00:45:08.790 --> 00:45:13.178
but because what you're doing is kind of doing for the
952
00:45:13.178 --> 00:45:16.080
student what we're asking the student to do.
953
00:45:16.080 --> 00:45:20.180
And so maybe a variation of that you might ask them to when
954
00:45:20.180 --> 00:45:21.610
they've got the big picture,
955
00:45:21.610 --> 00:45:24.260
come up with questions that they want to get
956
00:45:24.260 --> 00:45:25.093
from the reading.
957
00:45:25.093 --> 00:45:28.880
And then look at the questions that you've given them to see
958
00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:31.760
if the questions that they came up with are on the reading
959
00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:33.370
list, or what's the difference,
960
00:45:33.370 --> 00:45:36.290
because I think that combination is gonna be
961
00:45:36.290 --> 00:45:38.190
the best of both worlds,
962
00:45:38.190 --> 00:45:41.930
where they see what the good questions are that they should
963
00:45:41.930 --> 00:45:44.630
be coming up with from the list of questions you've given
964
00:45:44.630 --> 00:45:47.710
them but they've also spent some time coming up with their
965
00:45:47.710 --> 00:45:49.290
questions also.
966
00:45:49.290 --> 00:45:50.123
Okay, yeah.
967
00:45:50.123 --> 00:45:54.150
And so students say that, it take longer and,
968
00:45:54.150 --> 00:45:56.240
but I find that it doesn't.
969
00:45:56.240 --> 00:46:00.090
I tell students, everybody I've taught this to like,
970
00:46:00.090 --> 00:46:03.150
I speak at hyperbole all the time, so please forgive me.
971
00:46:03.150 --> 00:46:04.970
I said, everybody, not everybody,
972
00:46:04.970 --> 00:46:08.620
but the students have gotten back to me love this thing.
973
00:46:08.620 --> 00:46:10.670
And they'll tell me, oh, Dr. McGuire,
974
00:46:10.670 --> 00:46:12.270
that reading strategy is fantastic.
975
00:46:12.270 --> 00:46:14.220
I'm getting so much more out of my reading now.
976
00:46:14.220 --> 00:46:15.180
And I'll ask them.
977
00:46:15.180 --> 00:46:16.520
I said, you know, that's fantastic
978
00:46:16.520 --> 00:46:19.140
are you finding that it's taking you longer to get through
979
00:46:19.140 --> 00:46:22.640
the reading using this than what you were doing before and
980
00:46:22.640 --> 00:46:25.490
to a person they say, well, no,
981
00:46:25.490 --> 00:46:29.340
actually I finished the reading sooner doing it this way.
982
00:46:29.340 --> 00:46:32.270
And so my question to you is why should,
983
00:46:32.270 --> 00:46:34.280
and you may not get a it because I haven't set it up as
984
00:46:34.280 --> 00:46:36.450
completely as I set it up for students,
985
00:46:36.450 --> 00:46:39.670
but why should it take less time to finish the reading
986
00:46:39.670 --> 00:46:42.290
doing all this than what they were doing before,
987
00:46:42.290 --> 00:46:43.440
do you think?
988
00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:46.110
And when I ask this group to students, but I've given them
989
00:46:46.110 --> 00:46:50.003
the whole setup and so they have an advantage over you.
990
00:46:51.650 --> 00:46:54.950
Okay, yeah, actually that is the very first one.
991
00:46:54.950 --> 00:46:56.900
Although I see this is CTL events
992
00:46:56.900 --> 00:46:59.010
and so you've probably read the book, right?
993
00:46:59.010 --> 00:47:02.050
CTL events, okay.
994
00:47:02.050 --> 00:47:04.810
Reading a more focused manner.
995
00:47:04.810 --> 00:47:07.310
Purpose motivated, yeah, not rereading.
996
00:47:07.310 --> 00:47:09.050
Yeah, so the students will say,
997
00:47:09.050 --> 00:47:10.060
well, you don't have to reread
998
00:47:10.060 --> 00:47:11.510
and they're absolutely right.
999
00:47:12.360 --> 00:47:13.447
CTL event (laughs).
1000
00:47:14.930 --> 00:47:17.160
Okay, but with the old way,
1001
00:47:17.160 --> 00:47:19.590
they would read a little bit and go back, read, go back,
1002
00:47:19.590 --> 00:47:21.560
read, go back, read, go back.
1003
00:47:21.560 --> 00:47:22.920
But with this strategy,
1004
00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:25.570
they are moving more slowly through the reading,
1005
00:47:25.570 --> 00:47:27.450
but they get to the end point sooner,
1006
00:47:27.450 --> 00:47:30.120
cuz they're not doing all that back and forth and they
1007
00:47:30.120 --> 00:47:31.610
understand better.
1008
00:47:31.610 --> 00:47:34.510
And actually you speed up as the process goes,
1009
00:47:34.510 --> 00:47:38.540
because you could imagine if you get to paragraph six and
1010
00:47:38.540 --> 00:47:40.920
you've understood everything in the first five,
1011
00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:43.040
you're gonna be able to read the six paragraph
1012
00:47:43.040 --> 00:47:44.270
a little bit faster.
1013
00:47:44.270 --> 00:47:46.610
And yeah, they're not struggling towards the
1014
00:47:46.610 --> 00:47:49.530
end of the chapter because they haven't learned what was in
1015
00:47:49.530 --> 00:47:51.550
the beginning of the chapter, absolutely.
1016
00:47:51.550 --> 00:47:54.760
And so this is just a summary of this.
1017
00:47:54.760 --> 00:47:57.300
Do that survey come up with questions and then read
1018
00:47:57.300 --> 00:48:00.180
one paragraph at a time while you're summarizing and you can
1019
00:48:00.180 --> 00:48:03.030
teach them to annotate in the margins.
1020
00:48:03.030 --> 00:48:06.360
And then the next R is review when they get to the end of a
1021
00:48:06.360 --> 00:48:08.900
section, review the information that was in that section.
1022
00:48:08.900 --> 00:48:11.260
And then the last R is for reflect.
1023
00:48:11.260 --> 00:48:12.730
Are there any other views?
1024
00:48:12.730 --> 00:48:17.140
Are there any ways that maybe you would have answered a
1025
00:48:17.140 --> 00:48:19.140
question or tackled a topic that's different
1026
00:48:19.140 --> 00:48:20.320
from the author?
1027
00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:23.510
And I noticed we have some folks in who are in
1028
00:48:23.510 --> 00:48:25.390
the medical area.
1029
00:48:25.390 --> 00:48:27.970
And so let's say if there were a course on
1030
00:48:27.970 --> 00:48:29.390
community nutrition.
1031
00:48:29.390 --> 00:48:33.150
And the textbook said tell all of your patients that they
1032
00:48:33.150 --> 00:48:35.340
should eat a diet that is very rich in
1033
00:48:35.340 --> 00:48:36.890
fresh fruits and vegetables.
1034
00:48:36.890 --> 00:48:39.110
Well, what if you know that your clients live in a
1035
00:48:39.110 --> 00:48:41.320
food desert, so they don't have access to
1036
00:48:41.320 --> 00:48:42.390
fresh fruits and vegetables.
1037
00:48:42.390 --> 00:48:46.460
What are you gonna tell them to do that they are able to do
1038
00:48:47.300 --> 00:48:49.020
because they can't do what's in the book.
1039
00:48:49.020 --> 00:48:51.400
And so that's really important.
1040
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:53.730
And when students understand this and start to implement
1041
00:48:53.730 --> 00:48:55.560
this, then it makes a big difference.
1042
00:48:55.560 --> 00:48:58.060
I've taught this to grad students, law school students,
1043
00:48:58.060 --> 00:48:59.940
med school students, dental school students,
1044
00:48:59.940 --> 00:49:01.380
divinity school students,
1045
00:49:01.380 --> 00:49:03.860
and nobody has taught them this before
1046
00:49:03.860 --> 00:49:05.580
and it makes a big difference.
1047
00:49:05.580 --> 00:49:08.910
And so what I'm gonna do now is put a pass a job and
1048
00:49:08.910 --> 00:49:11.560
I'm going to give you a little time to read it.
1049
00:49:11.560 --> 00:49:13.710
I'm gonna take it off the screen and ask a question.
1050
00:49:13.710 --> 00:49:15.300
And this one is not in the book.
1051
00:49:15.300 --> 00:49:18.600
So folks who read the book you can do this too.
1052
00:49:18.600 --> 00:49:21.333
So let's start reading this.
1053
00:49:52.520 --> 00:49:54.110
Okay, you might not have finished the whole thing,
1054
00:49:54.110 --> 00:49:56.060
but I will take it off the screen now.
1055
00:49:56.060 --> 00:49:59.910
And ask if I asked you this is a yes or no question.
1056
00:49:59.910 --> 00:50:03.880
If I asked you to unmute your mic and summarize everything
1057
00:50:03.880 --> 00:50:06.430
that was in that passage to the group,
1058
00:50:06.430 --> 00:50:08.373
would you be able to do that?
1059
00:50:13.620 --> 00:50:15.430
Okay, I'm seeing some noes.
1060
00:50:15.430 --> 00:50:18.220
Okay, I certainly would not have been able to do it.
1061
00:50:18.220 --> 00:50:19.360
Okay, so, but let me ask this.
1062
00:50:19.360 --> 00:50:22.110
If you had known before you started to read
1063
00:50:22.110 --> 00:50:24.640
that this is about flying a kite.
1064
00:50:24.640 --> 00:50:27.690
I want you to reread it and just put in a chat box
1065
00:50:27.690 --> 00:50:28.523
yes or no.
1066
00:50:28.523 --> 00:50:32.053
If it makes more sense now that you know what it's about.
1067
00:50:38.660 --> 00:50:40.485
Okay, yeah, and they're different.
1068
00:50:40.485 --> 00:50:42.710
There's a different example in the book.
1069
00:50:42.710 --> 00:50:46.440
But I share this with students because the other thing that
1070
00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:48.319
I like to do, yes,
1071
00:50:48.319 --> 00:50:49.610
(indistinct) says it seemed like some
1072
00:50:49.610 --> 00:50:51.760
kind of a riddle before, yeah.
1073
00:50:51.760 --> 00:50:55.950
I like to give students an experience that shows them that
1074
00:50:55.950 --> 00:50:58.620
if they do what I'm talking about,
1075
00:50:58.620 --> 00:51:00.080
then it's gonna make a difference.
1076
00:51:00.080 --> 00:51:02.270
And so when they see something like this,
1077
00:51:02.270 --> 00:51:03.580
then they realize that, oh, okay.
1078
00:51:03.580 --> 00:51:07.170
So if I take a little bit of time to do that preview so that
1079
00:51:07.170 --> 00:51:08.460
I know what I'm reading about,
1080
00:51:08.460 --> 00:51:11.330
it's gonna make a huge difference because now things are in
1081
00:51:11.330 --> 00:51:15.010
context and this is the reference for that.
1082
00:51:15.010 --> 00:51:18.800
And that's the link to that particular information.
1083
00:51:18.800 --> 00:51:21.790
And I just wanted to show you the impact that this had.
1084
00:51:21.790 --> 00:51:26.340
I was doing a workshop for a group of community college
1085
00:51:26.340 --> 00:51:29.440
faculty who were partnering with high school teachers to
1086
00:51:29.440 --> 00:51:31.410
offer dual enrollment courses.
1087
00:51:31.410 --> 00:51:34.850
And there was a high school teacher there and his son was in
1088
00:51:34.850 --> 00:51:35.683
the room with him.
1089
00:51:35.683 --> 00:51:37.400
So he was listening with his headsets.
1090
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:39.600
But when I started talking about the reading strategy,
1091
00:51:39.600 --> 00:51:42.820
then he disconnected his headsets so his son could hear him.
1092
00:51:42.820 --> 00:51:45.700
Now, his son goes to a very competitive high school
1093
00:51:45.700 --> 00:51:47.773
Dematha he had a GPA of over 4.0, 4.2,
1094
00:51:48.700 --> 00:51:51.170
the kind of students that you'd probably see at UVM.
1095
00:51:51.170 --> 00:51:52.220
But three weeks ago,
1096
00:51:52.220 --> 00:51:55.970
he had received a 72 on his test in honors biology.
1097
00:51:55.970 --> 00:51:57.500
And so he was studying for a test.
1098
00:51:57.500 --> 00:52:00.660
I got this email Monday at about 4:30.
1099
00:52:00.660 --> 00:52:03.540
So his son evidently had come back home from school.
1100
00:52:03.540 --> 00:52:05.440
But Sunday, when he was studying,
1101
00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:08.660
he told him to follow the same strategy for this upcoming
1102
00:52:08.660 --> 00:52:11.848
test that he had learned in the session when his dad
1103
00:52:11.848 --> 00:52:15.160
disconnected his headset so he could hear the strategy.
1104
00:52:15.160 --> 00:52:18.180
So he came back home, he made an 86 on the test today.
1105
00:52:18.180 --> 00:52:20.680
He was so relieved and grateful for the advice.
1106
00:52:20.680 --> 00:52:22.070
And he said, thank you so much.
1107
00:52:22.070 --> 00:52:26.970
And I found that this is the impact that this information
1108
00:52:26.970 --> 00:52:27.803
has on students.
1109
00:52:27.803 --> 00:52:30.110
I mean, it gives them almost like a new lease on life.
1110
00:52:30.110 --> 00:52:31.890
They are so grateful.
1111
00:52:31.890 --> 00:52:35.150
They'll think you are phenomenal because you have
1112
00:52:35.150 --> 00:52:38.220
the golden ticket to their success.
1113
00:52:38.220 --> 00:52:41.900
And so one of the ways I think it's important to recognize
1114
00:52:41.900 --> 00:52:45.320
that the important thing about this process is not to tell
1115
00:52:45.320 --> 00:52:46.420
students information,
1116
00:52:46.420 --> 00:52:49.870
but to ask them reflection questions where they think about
1117
00:52:49.870 --> 00:52:51.190
what they are doing.
1118
00:52:51.190 --> 00:52:54.530
And so there are two that I find particularly impactful.
1119
00:52:54.530 --> 00:52:57.250
One is I'll ask students what's the difference,
1120
00:52:57.250 --> 00:52:58.460
if there's any difference at all
1121
00:52:58.460 --> 00:53:00.280
between studying and learning.
1122
00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:04.340
And normally what I do is I ask people to put in the
1123
00:53:04.340 --> 00:53:06.820
chat box what you would say the difference is.
1124
00:53:06.820 --> 00:53:08.557
But in the interest of time,
1125
00:53:08.557 --> 00:53:10.700
cuz I see we are getting to the end.
1126
00:53:10.700 --> 00:53:13.810
What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna tell you the top three
1127
00:53:13.810 --> 00:53:16.000
reasons that I hear from student.
1128
00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:19.250
And you can see if what you were thinking about was one of
1129
00:53:19.250 --> 00:53:22.350
those reasons or if not please put that in the chat box
1130
00:53:22.350 --> 00:53:23.380
if it's different.
1131
00:53:23.380 --> 00:53:26.010
But nobody's ever asked them this before.
1132
00:53:26.010 --> 00:53:28.001
But when I ask them and so you could ask for
1133
00:53:28.001 --> 00:53:30.650
your discipline, what's the difference between
1134
00:53:30.650 --> 00:53:32.960
studying French and learning French?
1135
00:53:32.960 --> 00:53:36.300
What's the difference between studying sociology and
1136
00:53:36.300 --> 00:53:37.760
learning sociology?
1137
00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:40.670
And so the three most common answers I get from students is
1138
00:53:40.670 --> 00:53:41.800
they'll say, ah,
1139
00:53:41.800 --> 00:53:44.700
studying is just memorizing information for a test
1140
00:53:44.700 --> 00:53:45.540
or a quiz.
1141
00:53:45.540 --> 00:53:47.960
But learning is when I understand that information,
1142
00:53:47.960 --> 00:53:48.793
when I can apply it,
1143
00:53:48.793 --> 00:53:51.310
when I can relate it to what I already know.
1144
00:53:51.310 --> 00:53:54.850
The next thing they say is studying is short term,
1145
00:53:54.850 --> 00:53:56.900
learning is long term.
1146
00:53:56.900 --> 00:53:59.180
And then sometimes they'll say studying is tedious,
1147
00:53:59.180 --> 00:54:00.270
learning is fun.
1148
00:54:00.270 --> 00:54:02.090
But lately,
1149
00:54:02.090 --> 00:54:05.530
and I'm getting a lot more of this then I would say,
1150
00:54:05.530 --> 00:54:07.690
I got pre pandemic and it's,
1151
00:54:07.690 --> 00:54:09.480
and I don't know if it's related to pandemic,
1152
00:54:09.480 --> 00:54:10.727
I don't know why it would be.
1153
00:54:10.727 --> 00:54:14.340
Cuz I got some of these before, but now so many more.
1154
00:54:14.340 --> 00:54:17.410
Well they'll say studying is when I go over what I've
1155
00:54:17.410 --> 00:54:18.750
already learned.
1156
00:54:18.750 --> 00:54:21.820
And it used to come only from high school students.
1157
00:54:21.820 --> 00:54:23.970
My college students almost never said that,
1158
00:54:23.970 --> 00:54:25.970
but now a lot of universities student are saying,
1159
00:54:25.970 --> 00:54:29.070
well, studying is when I go over what I've already learned.
1160
00:54:29.070 --> 00:54:33.150
And so then I say, okay, well where did you learn it?
1161
00:54:33.150 --> 00:54:35.680
And you can't put this in the chat box for me please.
1162
00:54:35.680 --> 00:54:36.810
Oh, oh, no.
1163
00:54:36.810 --> 00:54:39.130
Okay, I was gonna say put this in the chat box,
1164
00:54:39.130 --> 00:54:42.720
but that's okay because I see that CTL events has just put
1165
00:54:42.720 --> 00:54:45.840
the link again and somebody had missed it before.
1166
00:54:45.840 --> 00:54:47.360
And so if I ask this question,
1167
00:54:47.360 --> 00:54:49.830
then it's gonna scroll off the screen again, really fast.
1168
00:54:49.830 --> 00:54:51.940
So, okay.
1169
00:54:51.940 --> 00:54:53.820
But yeah, it's yeah.
1170
00:54:53.820 --> 00:54:56.750
I guess you can either copy it or click on it and then
1171
00:54:56.750 --> 00:54:57.583
you'll have it.
1172
00:54:58.430 --> 00:55:01.610
But I, okay.
1173
00:55:01.610 --> 00:55:03.713
So now I lost my train of thought and I forgot the question
1174
00:55:03.713 --> 00:55:04.630
that I asked you.
1175
00:55:04.630 --> 00:55:07.090
Anybody remember what question I was about to ask?
1176
00:55:07.090 --> 00:55:10.000
If you do put it in the chat box and if not,
1177
00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:11.780
I'm sure it'll come to me, but.
1178
00:55:11.780 --> 00:55:14.400
Viewing what we learned.
1179
00:55:14.400 --> 00:55:15.720
I'm sorry, say that again.
1180
00:55:15.720 --> 00:55:17.690
Studying and viewing what we learned.
1181
00:55:17.690 --> 00:55:18.830
Thank you very much.
1182
00:55:18.830 --> 00:55:19.807
Yes, yes.
1183
00:55:19.807 --> 00:55:23.460
And so they'll say it's when we go over what we already
1184
00:55:23.460 --> 00:55:24.920
learned and I ask them when did you learn it?
1185
00:55:24.920 --> 00:55:26.230
And they say in class.
1186
00:55:26.230 --> 00:55:29.917
And so now I always take some time to discuss with students
1187
00:55:29.917 --> 00:55:31.970
cuz I hear this answer now a lot.
1188
00:55:31.970 --> 00:55:35.080
And I tell them the difference between learning about
1189
00:55:35.080 --> 00:55:39.090
something and learning something so that they understand
1190
00:55:39.090 --> 00:55:40.140
that when they're in class,
1191
00:55:40.140 --> 00:55:42.980
they're really learning about the information,
1192
00:55:42.980 --> 00:55:47.280
but they haven't really learned it unless they really could
1193
00:55:47.280 --> 00:55:50.390
explain it to somebody unless they really,
1194
00:55:50.390 --> 00:55:52.090
it's in their long term.
1195
00:55:52.090 --> 00:55:53.820
And so they get that.
1196
00:55:53.820 --> 00:55:56.180
But otherwise they think they've learned it in class and
1197
00:55:56.180 --> 00:55:58.400
they just have to go over it when they're studying.
1198
00:55:58.400 --> 00:56:00.510
And then the next question is,
1199
00:56:00.510 --> 00:56:03.900
for which task would you work harder if you had to,
1200
00:56:03.900 --> 00:56:07.700
I told you had to make an A on the next test or if I told
1201
00:56:07.700 --> 00:56:09.960
you that before the next test I was gonna offer a
1202
00:56:09.960 --> 00:56:12.030
review session to the class and you are
1203
00:56:12.030 --> 00:56:13.660
gonna teach that review session.
1204
00:56:13.660 --> 00:56:15.680
So I'm gonna have you come up to the front of the class
1205
00:56:15.680 --> 00:56:20.680
without any notes or anything and explain the information to
1206
00:56:20.979 --> 00:56:21.890
the class,
1207
00:56:21.890 --> 00:56:24.720
paying particular attention to the more difficult concepts
1208
00:56:24.720 --> 00:56:27.290
to make sure everybody in the class was prepared for the
1209
00:56:27.290 --> 00:56:30.320
next day which would they work harder for.
1210
00:56:30.320 --> 00:56:32.870
And I'm gonna ask you yeah, put in the chat box,
1211
00:56:32.870 --> 00:56:35.050
which one would you work harder for?
1212
00:56:35.050 --> 00:56:37.760
And I'll see, yeah, B this is what most students say.
1213
00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:39.470
Now a few students say A,
1214
00:56:39.470 --> 00:56:43.170
but typically the ones who say A are studying the right way,
1215
00:56:43.170 --> 00:56:45.810
but they'll say B and I'll ask,
1216
00:56:45.810 --> 00:56:48.900
why would you work hard if you had to teach the material?
1217
00:56:48.900 --> 00:56:51.240
And the three most common answers I get there is they'll
1218
00:56:51.240 --> 00:56:54.030
say, well, I gotta really know if I'll have to teach it,
1219
00:56:54.030 --> 00:56:56.120
or sometimes they'll say I don't wanna be embarrassed in
1220
00:56:56.120 --> 00:56:57.100
front of the class.
1221
00:56:57.100 --> 00:56:59.940
And then sometimes they'll say the more empathetic students
1222
00:56:59.940 --> 00:57:02.620
will say, well, I wanna make sure everybody understands it.
1223
00:57:02.620 --> 00:57:05.320
So I wanna sure I can explain it more than one way.
1224
00:57:05.320 --> 00:57:08.180
I can use charts, diagrams for those people who want to
1225
00:57:08.180 --> 00:57:09.320
see it visually.
1226
00:57:09.320 --> 00:57:13.770
And so they recognize that they would work harder
1227
00:57:13.770 --> 00:57:14.820
if they had to teach it.
1228
00:57:14.820 --> 00:57:16.640
Okay, and Nina says, yeah,
1229
00:57:16.640 --> 00:57:19.840
hence presentations are more intense prep than writing
1230
00:57:19.840 --> 00:57:21.780
papers, absolutely.
1231
00:57:21.780 --> 00:57:24.480
Yeah in veterinary school we had a mantra yeah.
1232
00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:27.580
See one, do one, teach one, absolutely.
1233
00:57:27.580 --> 00:57:32.000
And when we go through these reflection questions,
1234
00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:35.040
then students really intuitively understand
1235
00:57:35.040 --> 00:57:37.100
the power in that.
1236
00:57:37.100 --> 00:57:41.380
And that it's not just a mantra that they will see the
1237
00:57:41.380 --> 00:57:43.240
results when they do this.
1238
00:57:43.240 --> 00:57:45.480
And so then I ask students up to this point,
1239
00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:48.500
have you been more often in study mode or learn mode,
1240
00:57:48.500 --> 00:57:50.530
and of course they all say study mode.
1241
00:57:50.530 --> 00:57:52.070
And then I ask them up to this point,
1242
00:57:52.070 --> 00:57:55.200
have they been in scenario A mode or scenario B mode?
1243
00:57:55.200 --> 00:57:58.260
And they've been in scenario A mode.
1244
00:57:58.260 --> 00:57:59.940
And when they say that, I say, great,
1245
00:57:59.940 --> 00:58:02.330
I love it when you're doing everything wrong.
1246
00:58:02.330 --> 00:58:05.090
Because that means when you start doing some things
1247
00:58:05.090 --> 00:58:08.430
differently, you are much more likely to see a
1248
00:58:08.430 --> 00:58:10.630
big improvement in what you're doing.
1249
00:58:10.630 --> 00:58:12.540
And so an example of,
1250
00:58:12.540 --> 00:58:15.760
I also like to give students examples of other students who
1251
00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:18.750
have used these strategies and what the impact has been.
1252
00:58:18.750 --> 00:58:20.230
Oh, and I forgot to ask you,
1253
00:58:20.230 --> 00:58:24.323
I ask faculty now to do something that I wish I had done
1254
00:58:24.323 --> 00:58:27.200
when I first started teaching, but I did not.
1255
00:58:27.200 --> 00:58:29.770
I started doing it only about 15 years ago.
1256
00:58:29.770 --> 00:58:33.080
And that is everybody in this session has had students who
1257
00:58:33.080 --> 00:58:36.330
were not doing well, and then they came to you for help.
1258
00:58:36.330 --> 00:58:38.197
And then they started doing a lot better.
1259
00:58:38.197 --> 00:58:39.520
Cuz I had students like that,
1260
00:58:39.520 --> 00:58:42.640
but I never asked those students to send me an email and
1261
00:58:42.640 --> 00:58:44.770
tell me exactly what you're doing differently.
1262
00:58:44.770 --> 00:58:46.260
And now I do that,
1263
00:58:46.260 --> 00:58:50.110
and I want you to do that and keep those emails because that
1264
00:58:50.110 --> 00:58:52.560
can add your repertoire of strategies.
1265
00:58:52.560 --> 00:58:56.050
But in addition to that you will have evidence
1266
00:58:56.050 --> 00:58:58.330
if a student comes in and says, oh, well was me,
1267
00:58:58.330 --> 00:58:59.177
I made a 60.
1268
00:58:59.177 --> 00:59:02.270
You'll say, okay, no, I can share strategies with you
1269
00:59:02.270 --> 00:59:06.150
that someone who made a 40 on the first test used and ended
1270
00:59:06.150 --> 00:59:08.020
making A or B in the course or whatever.
1271
00:59:08.020 --> 00:59:10.713
And then keep them before and after scores
1272
00:59:10.713 --> 00:59:13.210
because Ty, he came up,
1273
00:59:13.210 --> 00:59:16.340
he heard this presentation and he came up after he said,
1274
00:59:16.340 --> 00:59:17.310
I really like this.
1275
00:59:17.310 --> 00:59:19.860
I'm gonna start teaching the information to my betta fish.
1276
00:59:19.860 --> 00:59:22.020
And then about five weeks later,
1277
00:59:22.020 --> 00:59:26.690
he gave me his second scores in biology and chemistry from
1278
00:59:26.690 --> 00:59:30.550
the sixties to 98 in bio, 83 in chem and
1279
00:59:30.550 --> 00:59:32.430
ended up with a B in both courses.
1280
00:59:32.430 --> 00:59:35.190
And this is the email that he sent me.
1281
00:59:35.190 --> 00:59:38.290
He started attending more of the SI sessions.
1282
00:59:38.290 --> 00:59:40.860
He was attending him sporadically before and the exam
1283
00:59:40.860 --> 00:59:44.320
reviews, and before he learned this information,
1284
00:59:44.320 --> 00:59:45.820
he would go to the sessions,
1285
00:59:45.820 --> 00:59:47.950
but he wouldn't really do anything to prepare.
1286
00:59:47.950 --> 00:59:51.620
But now he tries to answer as many questions as he can
1287
00:59:51.620 --> 00:59:54.960
before he goes to see where he is in terms of understanding.
1288
00:59:54.960 --> 00:59:58.030
And so he would know what he really needed to concentrate on
1289
00:59:58.030 --> 00:59:58.990
to understand.
1290
00:59:58.990 --> 01:00:01.680
Then afterwards he'd go to his room and tech the materials
1291
01:00:01.680 --> 01:00:04.320
to his betta fish and anything he couldn't explain,
1292
01:00:04.320 --> 01:00:07.200
he'd study more and then he continued that cycle until he
1293
01:00:07.200 --> 01:00:09.920
could explain everything in his notes.
1294
01:00:09.920 --> 01:00:13.100
And yes, there's stuffed animals.
1295
01:00:13.100 --> 01:00:17.200
Lennon says, yeah, I have pictures, students send me stuff.
1296
01:00:17.200 --> 01:00:20.720
I've got stuffed animals, I've got pictures of infants.
1297
01:00:20.720 --> 01:00:23.450
One graduate student sent me a picture of his
1298
01:00:23.450 --> 01:00:26.830
baby group plant that he was using to prepare for his
1299
01:00:26.830 --> 01:00:31.810
licensure exam and he said that he made her score way
1300
01:00:31.810 --> 01:00:33.270
higher than he needed to.
1301
01:00:33.270 --> 01:00:35.500
And he was pretty sure if baby group had taken the test,
1302
01:00:35.500 --> 01:00:36.933
he would've passed it also.
1303
01:00:38.160 --> 01:00:40.680
And I taught this to a group of students at
1304
01:00:40.680 --> 01:00:41.770
Howard University.
1305
01:00:41.770 --> 01:00:45.300
And before I got back on the plane to come back to
1306
01:00:45.300 --> 01:00:47.100
Baton Rouge, they had texted me this picture.
1307
01:00:47.100 --> 01:00:48.540
Look what you inspired.
1308
01:00:48.540 --> 01:00:49.910
So I tell students, no, no, no, no.
1309
01:00:49.910 --> 01:00:51.920
You don't have to buy your own pet, ah,
1310
01:00:51.920 --> 01:00:53.743
this baby group plant, okay.
1311
01:00:55.230 --> 01:00:59.230
And so I thought about this fish, in March two years later,
1312
01:00:59.230 --> 01:01:01.410
I wonder if he'd gotten flushed down somebody's target or if
1313
01:01:01.410 --> 01:01:03.660
he was still living and he's still alive and
1314
01:01:03.660 --> 01:01:04.950
living with Makayla.
1315
01:01:04.950 --> 01:01:09.920
Now the next little activity that we do is one that I use to
1316
01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:13.090
show students why I am convinced that they could have made a
1317
01:01:13.090 --> 01:01:16.060
50 on the first test, 90 on the next one.
1318
01:01:16.060 --> 01:01:18.490
And so on the next slide, after this one,
1319
01:01:18.490 --> 01:01:21.360
they're gonna be a series of numbers all jumbled up.
1320
01:01:21.360 --> 01:01:25.780
And I am going to ask you to first locate the number one.
1321
01:01:25.780 --> 01:01:28.830
And then after that locate the number two and three
1322
01:01:28.830 --> 01:01:30.150
locate them in sequence.
1323
01:01:30.150 --> 01:01:33.810
And when I take them off the screen indicate the number that
1324
01:01:33.810 --> 01:01:36.580
you got to when you were finding in sequence.
1325
01:01:36.580 --> 01:01:38.933
So let's start locating the numbers now.
1326
01:01:54.440 --> 01:01:58.310
Okay, so put in the chat box the number that you got to when
1327
01:01:58.310 --> 01:02:00.290
you were locating them in sequential order.
1328
01:02:00.290 --> 01:02:04.230
Okay, 10, six, seven, okay, four, eight.
1329
01:02:04.230 --> 01:02:05.950
Yeah, and you're like most audiences,
1330
01:02:05.950 --> 01:02:09.240
usually it's single digits are very low double digits.
1331
01:02:09.240 --> 01:02:12.820
Okay, so now I'm gonna have you look at it again and see a
1332
01:02:12.820 --> 01:02:15.200
vertical line a horizontal line and the physician of the
1333
01:02:15.200 --> 01:02:16.220
number one.
1334
01:02:16.220 --> 01:02:20.110
And so now tell me what you notice about how the other
1335
01:02:20.110 --> 01:02:24.460
numbers are positioned because they are positioned
1336
01:02:24.460 --> 01:02:25.893
according to something.
1337
01:02:27.790 --> 01:02:29.010
What do you find?
1338
01:02:29.010 --> 01:02:30.220
How are they arranged?
1339
01:02:30.220 --> 01:02:31.053
What are they arranged,
1340
01:02:31.053 --> 01:02:33.550
exactly clockwise and by quadrant,
1341
01:02:33.550 --> 01:02:35.040
most students now say quadrant,
1342
01:02:35.040 --> 01:02:37.800
cuz they don't know how to read an analog clock.
1343
01:02:37.800 --> 01:02:40.600
Absolutely, so the one is here, the two is here,
1344
01:02:40.600 --> 01:02:43.830
the three is there, the four is there the five, six,
1345
01:02:43.830 --> 01:02:46.120
seven, eight, et cetera.
1346
01:02:46.120 --> 01:02:48.230
So now I'm gonna give you 15 seconds and put in the
1347
01:02:48.230 --> 01:02:50.760
chat box the number that you got, right?
1348
01:02:50.760 --> 01:02:53.480
I mean the number that you got to this time.
1349
01:02:53.480 --> 01:02:56.223
So let's start locating the numbers now.
1350
01:03:12.930 --> 01:03:14.290
And stop.
1351
01:03:14.290 --> 01:03:16.623
So how many did you find this time?
1352
01:03:19.034 --> 01:03:21.284
Okay, 12, 12, 14, 21, okay.
1353
01:03:23.324 --> 01:03:26.650
15, 18, yeah, everybody's in double digits and it looks like
1354
01:03:26.650 --> 01:03:30.010
most people got maybe at least twice as many as before.
1355
01:03:30.010 --> 01:03:33.820
And so I tell students that's proof positive that you could
1356
01:03:33.820 --> 01:03:36.730
have made a 40 on the first test, 80 on the next test or 45
1357
01:03:36.730 --> 01:03:39.170
and that'll be example in the book
1358
01:03:39.170 --> 01:03:41.710
usually people get three times as many.
1359
01:03:41.710 --> 01:03:44.670
Now what was the major difference between the first and
1360
01:03:44.670 --> 01:03:46.033
second attempts?
1361
01:03:47.270 --> 01:03:50.233
Why could we do so much better the second time around?
1362
01:03:56.560 --> 01:03:59.660
Okay, yes, we had a system of doing it.
1363
01:03:59.660 --> 01:04:02.070
We had prior knowledge about what was involved.
1364
01:04:02.070 --> 01:04:04.920
We broke the job down into smaller segments.
1365
01:04:04.920 --> 01:04:08.460
We understood how the information was organized, absolutely.
1366
01:04:08.460 --> 01:04:11.350
And so I tell students that's the key for their courses.
1367
01:04:11.350 --> 01:04:13.820
You've gotta know how the information is organized.
1368
01:04:13.820 --> 01:04:16.280
How does information in chapter six relate to information in
1369
01:04:16.280 --> 01:04:19.390
chapter two, if you break it into smaller chunks,
1370
01:04:19.390 --> 01:04:23.780
then you're going to be able to master that better than if
1371
01:04:23.780 --> 01:04:27.130
you're just looking at the whole thing trying to digest
1372
01:04:27.130 --> 01:04:28.200
everything at once.
1373
01:04:28.200 --> 01:04:30.120
And so that makes a big difference.
1374
01:04:30.120 --> 01:04:33.240
Now I see that it is now 11:08 and we're supposed to end at
1375
01:04:33.240 --> 01:04:38.100
11:15, but I may go over about four or five minutes,
1376
01:04:38.100 --> 01:04:40.190
but I never do that without getting permission
1377
01:04:40.190 --> 01:04:41.870
from my attendees.
1378
01:04:41.870 --> 01:04:44.090
So is it okay?
1379
01:04:44.090 --> 01:04:45.200
Put yes or no if it's okay.
1380
01:04:45.200 --> 01:04:47.010
Okay, I'm seeing some thumbs up.
1381
01:04:47.010 --> 01:04:48.310
Oh yeah, and it's gonna be recorded.
1382
01:04:48.310 --> 01:04:51.210
So anybody who has to leave before the very end,
1383
01:04:51.210 --> 01:04:53.920
our permission granted, thank you, Sheila.
1384
01:04:53.920 --> 01:04:56.810
And so anybody who has to leave, it's going to be recorded
1385
01:04:56.810 --> 01:04:58.780
so you'll get the last part.
1386
01:04:58.780 --> 01:05:02.890
But I didn't know any of this stuff before I got to LSU.
1387
01:05:02.890 --> 01:05:05.010
Well maybe 10% of it I knew when I was at Cornell.
1388
01:05:05.010 --> 01:05:06.310
Most of it I didn't know,
1389
01:05:06.310 --> 01:05:07.730
I didn't even think it was possible.
1390
01:05:07.730 --> 01:05:09.620
And so then when I found out it was possible,
1391
01:05:09.620 --> 01:05:11.840
I started reading everything I get my hands on and
1392
01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:15.400
how people learn was a great resource for me.
1393
01:05:15.400 --> 01:05:20.067
And now they have a second version that came out in 2018,
1394
01:05:20.067 --> 01:05:23.730
"How People Learn II: Learners, Contexts, and Cultures."
1395
01:05:23.730 --> 01:05:28.210
And so it has more to do with culturally responsive teaching
1396
01:05:28.210 --> 01:05:32.210
and how we can really become in tune with the cultures that
1397
01:05:32.210 --> 01:05:35.720
our students come from because that is very, very important.
1398
01:05:35.720 --> 01:05:37.590
Oh, Lennon says one of my favorite resources.
1399
01:05:37.590 --> 01:05:38.720
Yeah, it's great.
1400
01:05:38.720 --> 01:05:41.560
And so we know a lot about learning now that we didn't know
1401
01:05:41.560 --> 01:05:44.250
before, we know that active learning is much more lasting
1402
01:05:44.250 --> 01:05:45.440
than passive learning
1403
01:05:45.440 --> 01:05:47.870
even though students tend to resist it.
1404
01:05:47.870 --> 01:05:51.510
Pat Cross says that passive learning is like an oxymoron.
1405
01:05:51.510 --> 01:05:53.740
You gotta be active if you're learning.
1406
01:05:53.740 --> 01:05:56.520
We know that thinking about thinking is very important.
1407
01:05:56.520 --> 01:06:00.120
And hence even introducing students to the term
1408
01:06:00.120 --> 01:06:02.400
metacognition is really important.
1409
01:06:02.400 --> 01:06:05.270
And then the level at which learning occurs is important.
1410
01:06:05.270 --> 01:06:07.520
And this is where Bloom's taxonomy comes in.
1411
01:06:07.520 --> 01:06:10.480
And this is just kind of a hierarchy of learning levels.
1412
01:06:10.480 --> 01:06:13.950
Although I do know that I have a colleague in education in
1413
01:06:13.950 --> 01:06:17.560
the session and so when Benjamin Bloom and colleagues did
1414
01:06:17.560 --> 01:06:20.580
this, they really didn't intend for it to be a hierarchy.
1415
01:06:20.580 --> 01:06:22.390
But I like to think,
1416
01:06:22.390 --> 01:06:24.900
I like to present it to students as a hierarchy
1417
01:06:24.900 --> 01:06:27.910
because I want them to know that knowing something,
1418
01:06:27.910 --> 01:06:31.590
having some information in their heads is very important.
1419
01:06:31.590 --> 01:06:35.390
And I know that you can create things, master artisans,
1420
01:06:35.390 --> 01:06:38.330
a lot of them will create things and they have no idea of
1421
01:06:38.330 --> 01:06:39.430
what the theory is.
1422
01:06:39.430 --> 01:06:42.300
They're not even operating down there so you don't have to
1423
01:06:42.300 --> 01:06:43.644
have all of these in place,
1424
01:06:43.644 --> 01:06:46.800
but I'd like to present it this way for students to say
1425
01:06:46.800 --> 01:06:47.633
that, yeah,
1426
01:06:47.633 --> 01:06:51.620
there's some things you need to know and so memorizing
1427
01:06:51.620 --> 01:06:55.540
and then now if you can understand it well enough to explain
1428
01:06:55.540 --> 01:06:57.740
it to your 80 year old grandmother,
1429
01:06:57.740 --> 01:07:00.590
your eight year old nephew in words they understand give
1430
01:07:00.590 --> 01:07:03.150
them analogies from their life, your understanding.
1431
01:07:03.150 --> 01:07:05.840
If you can answer questions where problems you've never seen
1432
01:07:05.840 --> 01:07:07.400
before, you're at applying.
1433
01:07:07.400 --> 01:07:09.170
If you could take any concept,
1434
01:07:09.170 --> 01:07:11.980
break it down into simpler concepts and explain how those
1435
01:07:11.980 --> 01:07:14.010
all fit together, you're analyzing.
1436
01:07:14.010 --> 01:07:16.400
If you could look at any two ideas, any two theories,
1437
01:07:16.400 --> 01:07:19.470
any two concepts and determine whether one is more likely to
1438
01:07:19.470 --> 01:07:22.130
be correct than another you're evaluating.
1439
01:07:22.130 --> 01:07:24.770
And if you can come up with your own ideas,
1440
01:07:24.770 --> 01:07:27.330
your own thoughts, your own ways of doing things,
1441
01:07:27.330 --> 01:07:29.010
then you're creating.
1442
01:07:29.010 --> 01:07:31.730
And this, I find that when we teach students about
1443
01:07:31.730 --> 01:07:35.320
Bloom's, taxonomy they get it, they really understand it.
1444
01:07:35.320 --> 01:07:37.570
And so one of the ways
1445
01:07:37.570 --> 01:07:39.610
and this is our next poll question.
1446
01:07:39.610 --> 01:07:44.040
When I teach students about Bloom's, I ask them when,
1447
01:07:44.040 --> 01:07:45.420
think back to high school.
1448
01:07:45.420 --> 01:07:47.550
And when you were in high school,
1449
01:07:47.550 --> 01:07:50.230
what was the highest level of Bloom's you had to
1450
01:07:50.230 --> 01:07:54.540
consistently operate to make A's and B's in your
1451
01:07:54.540 --> 01:07:56.230
high school classes.
1452
01:07:56.230 --> 01:07:59.670
And I see the responses are coming in and now I know some
1453
01:07:59.670 --> 01:08:03.950
people had to leave so we have about 27 or so people still
1454
01:08:03.950 --> 01:08:05.000
in the session.
1455
01:08:05.000 --> 01:08:08.370
So when we get to about 15 responses,
1456
01:08:08.370 --> 01:08:12.763
I will give you the five second warning and we are there.
1457
01:08:18.190 --> 01:08:20.200
Oh, okay, creating but I was in honors.
1458
01:08:20.200 --> 01:08:23.150
Okay, yes, and so I get it.
1459
01:08:23.150 --> 01:08:25.610
Yeah, and so most of you said either remembering or
1460
01:08:25.610 --> 01:08:30.610
understanding 75% and so you are, oh, and I didn't vote.
1461
01:08:31.510 --> 01:08:33.820
And so what I find, okay, yes.
1462
01:08:33.820 --> 01:08:36.760
And so this is what students say,
1463
01:08:36.760 --> 01:08:40.780
but then we ask them now that you have been at UVM
1464
01:08:40.780 --> 01:08:42.970
for a while, cuz I say in the book,
1465
01:08:42.970 --> 01:08:47.670
I like to do this after students have been in,
1466
01:08:47.670 --> 01:08:49.980
they've had their first round of tests or quizzes.
1467
01:08:49.980 --> 01:08:51.350
Cuz if we do it before that
1468
01:08:51.350 --> 01:08:53.490
they're not gonna think they need it.
1469
01:08:53.490 --> 01:08:56.190
What's the lowest level you think you've gotta consistently
1470
01:08:56.190 --> 01:09:00.350
operate here at UVM to learn to the level where you're gonna
1471
01:09:00.350 --> 01:09:05.350
make the A's and B's that you want in your classes and what
1472
01:09:05.950 --> 01:09:07.670
do you think students say?
1473
01:09:07.670 --> 01:09:11.550
And I'm seeing, okay, we are moving up,
1474
01:09:11.550 --> 01:09:13.570
understanding, applying.
1475
01:09:13.570 --> 01:09:18.010
Okay, we are almost up to 15.
1476
01:09:18.010 --> 01:09:20.140
And so yeah, okay, now we're 16.
1477
01:09:20.140 --> 01:09:25.010
So we'll have three minutes before we see what.
1478
01:09:25.010 --> 01:09:26.500
Okay, and so now we're at 20.
1479
01:09:26.500 --> 01:09:28.440
Yeah, so I'll say done.
1480
01:09:28.440 --> 01:09:30.500
Okay, yeah, and so you've moved up,
1481
01:09:30.500 --> 01:09:33.530
but I think you're gonna be really pleased with actually
1482
01:09:33.530 --> 01:09:34.983
what students say.
1483
01:09:35.850 --> 01:09:37.780
These are data from 2014,
1484
01:09:37.780 --> 01:09:39.820
the big bump in high school was at two.
1485
01:09:39.820 --> 01:09:42.860
But those students in college went to 6.
1486
01:09:42.860 --> 01:09:47.690
2018 the big bump was at one and they went to five.
1487
01:09:47.690 --> 01:09:52.040
So students will in general go from one twos and threes to
1488
01:09:52.040 --> 01:09:53.310
four fives and sixes.
1489
01:09:53.310 --> 01:09:57.710
Now, occasionally I've been at, maybe now out of the 500,
1490
01:09:57.710 --> 01:10:01.620
maybe five or six places where in college they'll say,
1491
01:10:01.620 --> 01:10:04.130
maybe threes or fours or twos, threes or fours.
1492
01:10:04.130 --> 01:10:06.030
And so then when that happens, I ask students,
1493
01:10:06.030 --> 01:10:09.240
how many of you have either research papers that you've
1494
01:10:09.240 --> 01:10:12.450
gotta present at the end of the year or a semester,
1495
01:10:12.450 --> 01:10:16.960
or either research projects or research papers
1496
01:10:16.960 --> 01:10:17.810
or term papers.
1497
01:10:17.810 --> 01:10:19.150
And of course they all do.
1498
01:10:19.150 --> 01:10:22.480
And then I ask them, well, what level is that?
1499
01:10:22.480 --> 01:10:26.240
And I've never had a situation where they didn't see that it
1500
01:10:26.240 --> 01:10:29.080
was six, and so they would all say six after that and say
1501
01:10:29.080 --> 01:10:33.020
yes, because the thing that distinguishes outstanding
1502
01:10:33.020 --> 01:10:36.060
research projects from mediocre ones is the level of
1503
01:10:36.060 --> 01:10:37.940
creativity that's involved.
1504
01:10:37.940 --> 01:10:42.230
And so then they see that they need to be moving from where
1505
01:10:42.230 --> 01:10:45.250
they were in high school to now at higher levels.
1506
01:10:45.250 --> 01:10:46.480
But without knowing Bloom's,
1507
01:10:46.480 --> 01:10:48.800
they didn't even have any idea that there were levels.
1508
01:10:48.800 --> 01:10:53.800
And so the tool that we use to teach them how to move to
1509
01:10:54.100 --> 01:10:56.640
higher levels as we just call it the study cycle,
1510
01:10:56.640 --> 01:11:01.080
where you spin about five minutes to preview information,
1511
01:11:01.080 --> 01:11:03.800
its gonna be covered in class before you go to class,
1512
01:11:03.800 --> 01:11:06.020
then you go to class and if you've done your preview,
1513
01:11:06.020 --> 01:11:08.150
you can actively participate.
1514
01:11:08.150 --> 01:11:10.020
And then right after class,
1515
01:11:10.020 --> 01:11:11.880
as soon as possible after class review
1516
01:11:11.880 --> 01:11:13.400
what just happened in class,
1517
01:11:13.400 --> 01:11:16.390
because now you're gonna see things that you didn't even see
1518
01:11:16.390 --> 01:11:17.840
before you can make notes.
1519
01:11:17.840 --> 01:11:19.950
And it only takes about five, 10 minutes if you do this
1520
01:11:19.950 --> 01:11:22.660
efficiently and so you've gotta do more than that.
1521
01:11:22.660 --> 01:11:25.490
And we show them how to do what we call focused study
1522
01:11:25.490 --> 01:11:28.990
sessions set aside about 45 minutes to an hour,
1523
01:11:28.990 --> 01:11:32.130
take a minute or two to set a goal, then study with focus
1524
01:11:32.130 --> 01:11:35.200
and action, then take a break and come back and review.
1525
01:11:35.200 --> 01:11:37.720
But I've had students who say, well, I have ADHD,
1526
01:11:37.720 --> 01:11:39.210
I can't study for an hour.
1527
01:11:39.210 --> 01:11:41.890
And that I say, that's fine but you can do these in
1528
01:11:41.890 --> 01:11:43.230
10 minute segments,
1529
01:11:43.230 --> 01:11:46.080
you can take a minute to set a goal,
1530
01:11:46.080 --> 01:11:47.150
study for eight minutes.
1531
01:11:47.150 --> 01:11:48.990
You don't need to take a break if it's only 10 minutes,
1532
01:11:48.990 --> 01:11:51.520
but then come back and review for a minute.
1533
01:11:51.520 --> 01:11:53.760
And oh, let's see I still have the poll up
1534
01:11:53.760 --> 01:11:58.270
so if I get rid of this, I should see the chat box.
1535
01:11:58.270 --> 01:12:02.250
Interesting, and I don't see the chat.
1536
01:12:02.250 --> 01:12:04.260
Okay, let me see.
1537
01:12:04.260 --> 01:12:06.070
Hmm, I only see the poll.
1538
01:12:06.070 --> 01:12:08.820
How can, oh, I just have to, oh no okay.
1539
01:12:08.820 --> 01:12:10.670
Nobody's put anything in there since the poll.
1540
01:12:10.670 --> 01:12:11.640
Okay, so we're good.
1541
01:12:11.640 --> 01:12:13.003
Yes, okay, thanks.
1542
01:12:13.970 --> 01:12:15.690
And so this study cycle,
1543
01:12:15.690 --> 01:12:19.230
students love this thing and they love it because it's a
1544
01:12:19.230 --> 01:12:21.742
structured way for them to study.
1545
01:12:21.742 --> 01:12:24.800
How many of you put this is yes or no
1546
01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:26.170
have had students say, well,
1547
01:12:26.170 --> 01:12:28.480
I just really don't know how to study.
1548
01:12:28.480 --> 01:12:30.400
Have you had students say that?
1549
01:12:30.400 --> 01:12:33.860
Cuz we heard that all the time and they'll say,
1550
01:12:33.860 --> 01:12:35.350
and usually they'll give us reason.
1551
01:12:35.350 --> 01:12:36.183
They'll say, well,
1552
01:12:36.183 --> 01:12:39.170
I just really don't know how to study because what are some
1553
01:12:39.170 --> 01:12:40.690
of the reasons that they'll give us where they say,
1554
01:12:40.690 --> 01:12:43.060
I don't really know how to study because,
1555
01:12:43.060 --> 01:12:46.170
and there are two that I hear very often
1556
01:12:46.170 --> 01:12:49.380
and I'll see if anybody puts that in.
1557
01:12:49.380 --> 01:12:53.050
Exactly, nobody taught me and I didn't have to in
1558
01:12:53.050 --> 01:12:53.883
high school.
1559
01:12:53.883 --> 01:12:55.740
Those are the two most common answers I get.
1560
01:12:55.740 --> 01:12:58.230
And so they love this because it's a structured way
1561
01:12:58.230 --> 01:12:59.360
to study.
1562
01:12:59.360 --> 01:13:02.350
This is a young lady, who's now a PhD candidate.
1563
01:13:02.350 --> 01:13:05.880
And she said, these helped her most.
1564
01:13:05.880 --> 01:13:09.620
She got an A plus on three outta four of her finals using
1565
01:13:09.620 --> 01:13:10.710
that method of studying.
1566
01:13:10.710 --> 01:13:13.170
She's important to use it every day before finals week,
1567
01:13:13.170 --> 01:13:16.320
but it's really beneficial during finals week because
1568
01:13:16.320 --> 01:13:18.470
it's kind of a time management strategy.
1569
01:13:18.470 --> 01:13:22.340
This was a professor who showed a student who was struggling
1570
01:13:22.340 --> 01:13:24.140
in his classes, the PowerPoint.
1571
01:13:24.140 --> 01:13:26.210
Oh, you're gonna get this whole PowerPoint presentation
1572
01:13:26.210 --> 01:13:28.168
by the way in PowerPoint form.
1573
01:13:28.168 --> 01:13:30.580
So you can pick and choose any slides you wanna share with
1574
01:13:30.580 --> 01:13:31.770
your students.
1575
01:13:31.770 --> 01:13:34.510
She told him to pay attention to Bloom's in the study cycle.
1576
01:13:34.510 --> 01:13:36.590
And so then he sent her an email saying,
1577
01:13:36.590 --> 01:13:39.920
he was applying himself, scored 114 on the first and
1578
01:13:39.920 --> 01:13:40.960
only graded quiz.
1579
01:13:40.960 --> 01:13:43.880
Got a hundred percent on the first exam.
1580
01:13:43.880 --> 01:13:44.713
And she said,
1581
01:13:44.713 --> 01:13:48.110
she used the implication that teaching works.
1582
01:13:48.110 --> 01:13:51.600
And so she invited students to co-teach materials with her.
1583
01:13:51.600 --> 01:13:53.330
They did a fantastic job,
1584
01:13:53.330 --> 01:13:56.330
adding a lot more real world content and she saw how much
1585
01:13:56.330 --> 01:13:59.260
they poured their passion and talent into the lecture.
1586
01:13:59.260 --> 01:14:03.090
And so it is very, very important.
1587
01:14:03.090 --> 01:14:06.670
Here's a study that these faculty members,
1588
01:14:06.670 --> 01:14:10.180
these instructors implemented a face to face class format
1589
01:14:10.180 --> 01:14:11.960
using the study cycle.
1590
01:14:11.960 --> 01:14:15.030
And here's a research report that discusses
1591
01:14:15.030 --> 01:14:19.360
how metacognition really enhances the efficacy of active
1592
01:14:19.360 --> 01:14:21.460
learning when you combine them.
1593
01:14:21.460 --> 01:14:24.260
Because now students understand the importance of active
1594
01:14:24.260 --> 01:14:27.610
learning and they see what they can do to make it better.
1595
01:14:27.610 --> 01:14:29.430
Now, oh, and I see I have two minutes.
1596
01:14:29.430 --> 01:14:31.300
Okay, we're gonna go fast.
1597
01:14:31.300 --> 01:14:34.573
Mindset, that's really, really important.
1598
01:14:35.490 --> 01:14:40.430
And this is the work of Carol Dweck who she and her research
1599
01:14:40.430 --> 01:14:44.170
group at Stanford found that typically people have one
1600
01:14:44.170 --> 01:14:45.810
of two mindsets about intelligence.
1601
01:14:45.810 --> 01:14:47.303
They think either you're born with a certain amount of
1602
01:14:47.303 --> 01:14:49.350
design and change very much,
1603
01:14:49.350 --> 01:14:52.490
or you can grow your intelligence with your actions.
1604
01:14:52.490 --> 01:14:55.650
And it's really important to know what kind of mindset you
1605
01:14:55.650 --> 01:14:58.700
have because people with a fixed mindset avoid challenges,
1606
01:14:58.700 --> 01:15:01.960
they give up very easily when they get to obstacles,
1607
01:15:01.960 --> 01:15:06.450
they really don't see effort as useful because they think
1608
01:15:06.450 --> 01:15:09.050
that if either they're smart enough to do it without trying,
1609
01:15:09.050 --> 01:15:11.250
or they're not smart enough to do it all.
1610
01:15:11.250 --> 01:15:14.400
They ignore useful criticism and they're threatened by other
1611
01:15:14.400 --> 01:15:17.740
success whereas people with the growth mindset and they
1612
01:15:17.740 --> 01:15:18.900
really embrace challenges.
1613
01:15:18.900 --> 01:15:22.730
They persist when they have setbacks because they will put
1614
01:15:22.730 --> 01:15:24.700
forth the effort because they know effort is the
1615
01:15:24.700 --> 01:15:25.880
path to mastery.
1616
01:15:25.880 --> 01:15:27.230
They learn from criticism.
1617
01:15:27.230 --> 01:15:29.420
They find lessons in inspiration,
1618
01:15:29.420 --> 01:15:31.230
in the successes of others.
1619
01:15:31.230 --> 01:15:35.370
And so last couple of poll questions.
1620
01:15:35.370 --> 01:15:38.670
What mindset about intelligence
1621
01:15:38.670 --> 01:15:42.283
do you think most students have, fixed or growth?
1622
01:15:43.460 --> 01:15:47.570
And this time we're gonna end it in about five seconds.
1623
01:15:47.570 --> 01:15:52.570
So that, so weigh in as quickly as you can.
1624
01:15:52.980 --> 01:15:56.440
And I'm going to give you the three second one
1625
01:15:56.440 --> 01:15:58.700
yeah, cuz we're up to 15, okay.
1626
01:15:58.700 --> 01:16:02.330
And so yeah, 64%, two thirds of you said fixed.
1627
01:16:02.330 --> 01:16:05.050
And that's what I find that more students have a fixed
1628
01:16:05.050 --> 01:16:07.410
mindset than a growth mindset.
1629
01:16:07.410 --> 01:16:08.790
Now what about faculty?
1630
01:16:08.790 --> 01:16:10.620
What mindset about student intelligence
1631
01:16:10.620 --> 01:16:15.100
do you think most faculty have you and
1632
01:16:15.100 --> 01:16:18.593
we will see what you say.
1633
01:16:19.460 --> 01:16:21.363
Okay, now it's interesting.
1634
01:16:24.160 --> 01:16:28.960
Okay, and we're already up to 12 and so 61, 31, 66, 33.
1635
01:16:28.960 --> 01:16:30.903
Very, very interesting.
1636
01:16:32.280 --> 01:16:34.640
Okay, know they're supposed to have growth.
1637
01:16:34.640 --> 01:16:37.793
Okay, I teach students how to learn I found students, no.
1638
01:16:39.050 --> 01:16:40.210
Interesting, okay.
1639
01:16:40.210 --> 01:16:43.250
So yes. focused on grades and when they get those
1640
01:16:43.250 --> 01:16:47.010
poor grades at first, then that's when they think there's no
1641
01:16:47.010 --> 01:16:48.900
hope for them, absolutely.
1642
01:16:48.900 --> 01:16:51.150
Now I had another question, but I'm gonna save that.
1643
01:16:51.150 --> 01:16:52.820
I'm not gonna ask that right now.
1644
01:16:52.820 --> 01:16:55.060
But there's a study that links faculty attitudes on
1645
01:16:55.060 --> 01:16:57.900
intelligence to student success and in stem with a large
1646
01:16:57.900 --> 01:17:00.210
impact on minority student success.
1647
01:17:00.210 --> 01:17:02.270
And they found that students,
1648
01:17:02.270 --> 01:17:05.720
all students in the classroom of a growth minded professor
1649
01:17:05.720 --> 01:17:08.880
did better, but the gap was cut in half.
1650
01:17:08.880 --> 01:17:12.710
If between White and Asian students and Black Latino,
1651
01:17:12.710 --> 01:17:14.010
and Native American students,
1652
01:17:14.010 --> 01:17:16.670
if the professor had a growth mindset.
1653
01:17:16.670 --> 01:17:19.350
And we're almost to the end I promise.
1654
01:17:19.350 --> 01:17:24.320
This is an email from a student at Princeton who
1655
01:17:24.320 --> 01:17:28.450
she read the book and she was initially struggling at
1656
01:17:28.450 --> 01:17:31.110
Princeton, and she was from a public high school.
1657
01:17:31.110 --> 01:17:33.130
And she and her friends thought that if you're from a public
1658
01:17:33.130 --> 01:17:35.220
high school, you're just not gonna do well at Princeton.
1659
01:17:35.220 --> 01:17:38.190
But then she read the book and she said that the chapter on
1660
01:17:38.190 --> 01:17:41.780
mindset was so, so important, really, really important
1661
01:17:41.780 --> 01:17:44.550
because then she learned that she could,
1662
01:17:44.550 --> 01:17:47.010
she would have challenges but she could do better.
1663
01:17:47.010 --> 01:17:50.050
And she ended up her senior year getting all A's
1664
01:17:50.050 --> 01:17:52.380
getting an A plus on her senior thesis.
1665
01:17:52.380 --> 01:17:53.213
And she says,
1666
01:17:53.213 --> 01:17:54.780
I now know that just because you're from a public
1667
01:17:54.780 --> 01:17:58.200
high school, doesn't mean you can't thrive at Princeton.
1668
01:17:58.200 --> 01:18:02.160
And so finally I wanna share with you this graduate student
1669
01:18:02.160 --> 01:18:04.990
who was not passing cumulative exams.
1670
01:18:04.990 --> 01:18:07.950
We give cumulative exams and they have to pass six in the
1671
01:18:07.950 --> 01:18:10.970
first two years or they kicked out of PhD program.
1672
01:18:10.970 --> 01:18:11.960
We give eight a year.
1673
01:18:11.960 --> 01:18:14.370
He only passed one out of eight his first year.
1674
01:18:14.370 --> 01:18:15.640
Then he learned the strategies.
1675
01:18:15.640 --> 01:18:17.900
And the second year he didn't even need all eight.
1676
01:18:17.900 --> 01:18:20.440
He passed five out of seven and he passed the December exam
1677
01:18:20.440 --> 01:18:22.030
with the highest score in the group.
1678
01:18:22.030 --> 01:18:24.450
And this is he Dr. Algernon Kelly.
1679
01:18:24.450 --> 01:18:27.210
And now he teaches this everywhere he goes, in fact,
1680
01:18:27.210 --> 01:18:29.680
now he has his own business and he specializes in students
1681
01:18:29.680 --> 01:18:31.990
with this disabilities, learning disabilities
1682
01:18:31.990 --> 01:18:34.730
because he is dyslexic himself.
1683
01:18:34.730 --> 01:18:38.540
And so I like to close with this series of three emails,
1684
01:18:38.540 --> 01:18:41.110
October 17th, this student wrote him.
1685
01:18:41.110 --> 01:18:43.340
I'm struggling, I really wanna do well,
1686
01:18:43.340 --> 01:18:45.550
but everything is just ending with a decent grade.
1687
01:18:45.550 --> 01:18:47.870
I was hoping you could mentor me and guide me down the path
1688
01:18:47.870 --> 01:18:48.703
to success.
1689
01:18:48.703 --> 01:18:51.470
One week later, he says, hey, Dr. Kelly's (indistinct).
1690
01:18:51.470 --> 01:18:54.731
He made an 84 on his chem test compared to 56 on the first
1691
01:18:54.731 --> 01:18:59.731
one, then November 3rd, he had gone from a 76 to a 91.5.
1692
01:19:01.840 --> 01:19:03.510
He said, using your system,
1693
01:19:03.510 --> 01:19:05.630
ever since I started your study cycle program,
1694
01:19:05.630 --> 01:19:07.230
my grades have consistently improved.
1695
01:19:07.230 --> 01:19:09.880
I've honestly gained a sense of hope and confidence.
1696
01:19:09.880 --> 01:19:13.020
And that's what stood students lose at UVM.
1697
01:19:13.020 --> 01:19:15.660
Bright students who think that they're gonna do great.
1698
01:19:15.660 --> 01:19:18.980
Then they have that first failure and they are despondent.
1699
01:19:18.980 --> 01:19:20.870
And he says, my family and I are really grateful
1700
01:19:20.870 --> 01:19:22.890
you've taken the time to get me back on track.
1701
01:19:22.890 --> 01:19:24.340
And you see the change in his mood.
1702
01:19:24.340 --> 01:19:25.460
Hello, Dr. Kelly.
1703
01:19:25.460 --> 01:19:26.390
Hey, Dr. Kelly.
1704
01:19:26.390 --> 01:19:27.690
Hey, Dr. Kelly.
1705
01:19:27.690 --> 01:19:30.020
And so it's so important to teach students this.
1706
01:19:30.020 --> 01:19:33.040
So in conclusion we can and significantly increase
1707
01:19:33.040 --> 01:19:35.430
student success, even in a pandemic.
1708
01:19:35.430 --> 01:19:37.610
But I think we have to teach our students how to learn.
1709
01:19:37.610 --> 01:19:41.690
We've gotta provide engaging virtual sessions and we have to
1710
01:19:41.690 --> 01:19:42.670
make learning visible.
1711
01:19:42.670 --> 01:19:45.430
We can't judge their potential on their initial performance
1712
01:19:45.430 --> 01:19:47.030
and we can't let them do it either.
1713
01:19:47.030 --> 01:19:50.420
We have to encourage them to persist even when they fail
1714
01:19:50.420 --> 01:19:54.001
initially and we've gotta encourage them to use these deep,
1715
01:19:54.001 --> 01:19:57.580
these metacognitive tools for deep and integrative learning.
1716
01:19:57.580 --> 01:19:59.070
These are some additional resources.
1717
01:19:59.070 --> 01:20:00.370
These are some acknowledgements.
1718
01:20:00.370 --> 01:20:02.210
This is the book for faculty.
1719
01:20:02.210 --> 01:20:04.930
And if you really wanna increase the chances that your
1720
01:20:04.930 --> 01:20:06.420
students are gonna use the strategies,
1721
01:20:06.420 --> 01:20:08.481
please suggest that they read the book.
1722
01:20:08.481 --> 01:20:11.650
And this is the first time I've ever had this slide
1723
01:20:11.650 --> 01:20:14.260
in there cuz I was afraid that it was gonna look like
1724
01:20:14.260 --> 01:20:17.210
I was hawking my wears, but so many faculty say, well,
1725
01:20:17.210 --> 01:20:19.230
how do I really get my students to do it?
1726
01:20:19.230 --> 01:20:22.763
And I now realize that students kind of have to hear this
1727
01:20:22.763 --> 01:20:24.910
from me and my voice,
1728
01:20:24.910 --> 01:20:27.640
which is what the book does for them.
1729
01:20:27.640 --> 01:20:29.280
And this is the book for parents.
1730
01:20:29.280 --> 01:20:31.320
And thank you very, very much.
1731
01:20:31.320 --> 01:20:34.300
I will now stop the share,
1732
01:20:34.300 --> 01:20:39.300
which means to stop presenting and yes, okay.
1733
01:20:39.313 --> 01:20:41.513
And then I will turn it back over.
1734
01:20:43.070 --> 01:20:46.560
Oh Saundra, thank you so very, very much
1735
01:20:46.560 --> 01:20:48.830
for being here with us today.
1736
01:20:48.830 --> 01:20:50.220
It has really,
1737
01:20:50.220 --> 01:20:53.580
my brain is buzzing and I bet everybody else's brain is
1738
01:20:53.580 --> 01:20:54.770
buzzing as well.
1739
01:20:54.770 --> 01:20:57.363
So thank you so, so very much.
1740
01:20:58.670 --> 01:21:01.860
Colleagues, there's another workshop this afternoon focused
1741
01:21:01.860 --> 01:21:04.460
more on Sam with similar content.
1742
01:21:04.460 --> 01:21:06.600
And then next week we are,
1743
01:21:06.600 --> 01:21:10.350
Saundra will join us to talk about motivation in students
1744
01:21:10.350 --> 01:21:12.570
as a follow on to this workshop.
1745
01:21:12.570 --> 01:21:13.403
Yes, and again,
1746
01:21:13.403 --> 01:21:16.500
I wanna thank everyone for coming and I applaud you because
1747
01:21:16.500 --> 01:21:18.820
you are in the trenches with these students.
1748
01:21:18.820 --> 01:21:22.420
I just gotta sit in my office and talk to wonderful faculty
1749
01:21:22.420 --> 01:21:23.253
like you.
1750
01:21:23.253 --> 01:21:25.860
So thank you so much again for attending.
1751
01:21:25.860 --> 01:21:30.030
And I'm seeing lots of thanks in the chat box.
1752
01:21:30.030 --> 01:21:33.030
And I just say thank you because I appreciate everything
1753
01:21:33.030 --> 01:21:34.530
that you are doing.
1754
01:21:34.530 --> 01:21:37.133
Yes, and we here at the CTL,
1755
01:21:38.920 --> 01:21:42.100
and also writing in the disciplines are working on
1756
01:21:42.100 --> 01:21:44.760
strengthening our partnerships with the writing center and
1757
01:21:44.760 --> 01:21:46.370
the Center for Academic Success
1758
01:21:46.370 --> 01:21:48.500
and I'm sure I speak for all of us
1759
01:21:48.500 --> 01:21:52.220
when I say we look forward to more conversations about how
1760
01:21:52.220 --> 01:21:54.980
we can support students and design cool classes.
1761
01:21:54.980 --> 01:21:56.860
So thanks everybody for being here.
1762
01:21:56.860 --> 01:21:58.410
Great, and I see a question about whether
1763
01:21:58.410 --> 01:22:01.100
the other sessions will be recorded and they will.
1764
01:22:01.100 --> 01:22:05.870
And I see Deborah says Lennon and I have already planned a
1765
01:22:05.870 --> 01:22:08.483
watch party, okay, fantastic.
1766
01:22:10.430 --> 01:22:12.020
Great, well, thanks again.
1767
01:22:12.020 --> 01:22:16.520
And thank you for allowing me to have now 58 groups
1768
01:22:16.520 --> 01:22:19.500
in states that I've presented to faculty in.
1769
01:22:19.500 --> 01:22:20.960
Okay, well bye.
1770
01:22:20.960 --> 01:22:22.810
