ICYMI with the semester about to start, colleagues are of course talking about this

Should You Add an #AI Policy to Your #Syllabus?

I am pleased to note that, in its suggestions for further reading, the article

I’ve found this #syllabus workload estimator really useful as a check on myself. I want to make sure I’m balancing my assignments and giving students enough time to digest. I want deep learning not grinding away. https://shiny.justinesarey.com/wfuworkloadapp/ #college #teaching

All right, that's one #syllabus and #brightspace page in the bag. The Presidential Scholars, Berlin Program syllabus is ready to go.

And yes, this does mean I am bringing 40 students to Berlin for a week in January. Now that I'm ready for the classroom component, it's time to start planning the travel component with my NYU Berlin counterparts.

Exciting!

Just submitted my #syllabus for "Women in Architecture" (ARTH 4800) at #CarletonUniversity #Ottawa for this Fall term.

Please help to spread word to students who might be interested. Relevant for students in #architecture, #geography, #sociology, #genderStudies ...

Also happy to connect with others teaching similar courses or who want to include the topic in core course

Qué obritas cortas de teatro utilizan en sus cursos que sean un éxito garantizado entre sus estudiantes de español? estoy tratando de cambiar un poco las cosas en mi syllabus de intro a literary analysis y ya me aburrí con todo! #spanish #lit #academia #syllabus

I love starting the semester with this 30-second video for my students on reading the syllabus.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4o0L6T0JIU

All day I've been #syllabus and #canvas prepping. I just want to work on my #CompExams.

Reflexivity and careful attention to WHO we cite and read about climate change and ecological justice is of utmost importance. Whether you're building a syllabus for the semester, writing an article, or just looking for a fresh perspective, check out this incredible resource from Environmental Justice Lab/ Dr. Danielle Zoe Rivera. What's on your reading list? #syllabus #environmentaljustice

@MartinVuilleme Also (& & &) I always make a point of citing a variety of sources, including in the first text my comp students read, our #Syllabus, which then serves as a model.

It’s been sad (though understandable) to find that many writers & thinkers I like to point to have removed their birdsite thoughts. But there’s still a lot here, so I imagine I’ll make use of this format coming up!

/Nerdiness concluded for the moment. Thanks for diving in!

Just finished my new #syllabus policy on #GenerativeAI. Feeling only *vaguely* sure about it. #AmTeaching

a carefully constructed assignment sheet is a labor of love for students you haven't even met yet

My school won’t let you just register for your #dissertation credit, which means a series of annoying, stressful emails. I’m also in the middle of a terrible flare-up. And I need to get cracking on #syllabus and course work 😣

Any other #Authors of Mastodon doing a #Syllabus Consideration Campaign?

New #syllabus language: "[Plagarism...]... Other forms of academic misconduct will not be tolerated either, including the use of unauthorized aid on tests, failing to write one's own homework, discussion responses, or papers (including the use of AI/AGI/LLMs such as ChatGPT), using papers for more than one course without permission. None of this precludes group study and discussion: those are actually really good ideas."
#Pedagogy

The decision of the Congress government in Karnataka to drop a chapter on Hindutva ideologue VD Savarkar from school textbooks will have a reverse effect, said his grandson Ranjit Savarkar.

So the UK government wants students to continue #Maths education through to 18 for everyone. The first problem is how to find enough teachers to deliver the aspiration. What would be in your extended Maths #syllabus to inspire and be of long-term use to students?

Part 2 of the #SentientSyllabus course redesign project has been posted: Academic visions.

Before we actually look at contents and course details, we embark on a substantial visioning exercise. Thinking of academia in the future: how will the nature of work change, and what does that mean for the economy? How will our course materials respond? How will learning itself change? And how will our roles as instructors change?

We extrapolate from current trends to derive the contours of a reimagined academia. One of the interesting conclusions is that although we will be using more technology, that technology will become more transparent. That's a simple consequence of natural language instructions.

Finally we consider different pedagogical frameworks – it turns out that #KnowledgeBuilding has some interesting ideas to contribute, for example the concept of "Epistemic Artefacts" ...

It's getting interesting. Have a look

It's not quite right to say that #GenerativeAI will transform the #university. It is we who change it – as faculty, as learners, as administrators. In the Sentient Syllabus Project, we are setting out to establish best-practice for such change, and we start with a single course.

https://sentientsyllabus.substack.com/p/starting-over-1

We have written analysis about the impact of AI on #Academia for several months now, and we looked at questions of #authorship, #AcademicIntegrity, and personalized instruction. Now we start putting this into practice. This new post maps out a course redesign which will proceed in steps until early July. There are many new developments and visions to integrate with longstanding experience, but the July date will also give others time to build on the results for their own fall term courses.

Actually, we plan to work on two courses - one in #STEM and one in the #humanities.

Welcome to join us along the way.

🙂

Syllabus for my first class at Brown University, 1992. One assignment that I still use—rewriting an already-submitted paper from an opposite point of view—remains a challenging task for many students. #WritingCourse #Syllabus #Debate
