Lately, the question of how to manage time in class effectively has come up frequently in my consultations. What do we prioritize during class time--and how do we fit that into the three hours or so we have each week in class with our students? To paraphrase Mary Oliver, what are we going to do with those few wild and precious hours? The answer to that question will vary wildly from class to class and professor to professor, but I thought I’d share some questions that I find helpful when I’m facing that quandary myself.

|
|
|
|
• What are the most important learning outcomes for my students this week/this semester?
|
|
|
|
|
• What parts of learning require class time versus what can be done outside of class?
|
|
|
|
|
• What kinds of activities will push students to think critically?
|
|
|
|
|
• What chances will students have to practice what they are learning?
|
|
|
|
|
• What ways will my course support students to learn from each other in community?
|
|
|
|
|
And, of course, we’re always happy to meet with you for a one-on-one consultation to talk this (or anything else) over—and help you prepare for your final assignments.

What can you take off your list? With advising, grading, preparing final assignments, and November in general, this time of the semester can feel like a LOT. In especially busy times, we often tend to hunker down and push through the best we can. But maybe… just maybe…there are ways to make life easier. For some ideas, take a listen to this (short 9-minute!) podcast by Dr. Katie Linder on the art of subtraction.

A recent settlement resolves a class action lawsuit brought against Anthropic over the company’s use of allegedly pirated books to train its AI model. However, if your book is eligible for part of this settlement, you must submit a claim.
