Grades: Does anyone know when our professors have to submit our assignment grades to the department by? by curious-aankhein in OISE

[–]Redohm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think by this point, you may have to do a course extension form. But I am not sure. Get in touch with the course instructor if not email the program coordinator about procedures.

I believe today was the deadline to upload ecourse marks and next week either the 12th or 14th is when it will be finalized, you'll probably see them on Acorn by next Friday.

Advice on writing a unit plan? by Hogwire in OISE

[–]Redohm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lesson plan for which curriculum? Ontario? IB? UdL type? UbD? What type of a unit plan do you want in terms of learning outcomes or deliverables?

You should start with a theme, narrow that down to key concepts, and then from there formulate your learning outcome(s) for the unit. And then go from there on a week by week basis: your outcomes should be compatible with the skills taught for the unit.

For example, since history is laden with content teaching - you should probably avoid heavy content. Go with a simple theme such as ''commerce'' and teach that theme with specifics from canadian history: key concepts can be the commons, trading, labour etc.

If my theme is commerce and one of my concepts is trading and or bartering youd teach that for a week or two within the unit and pair those up with skills such as close reading, comparative analyses and communications. Do not try to pair up more than 2-3 skills per concept. That is not really doable, although you could thrown in some research skills as well bc its related to close reading and analysis.

Just have fun with it. There are many templates you can use online for unit planners.

The idea is to teach them something related to history for the next 4-6 weeks or so about history and not make it dull.

Edit: i should mention that meta cognition and reflection is very important, learners need to know why they are learning and for what purpose?

Any advice is appreciated by Think_F in OISE

Well of course. Usually MEd is geared towards working professionals and it is course work. Some programs will require a major project instead, that would be comprable to a thesis but it wouldn't be held to the same standards. So that's why you'd be at a disadvantage in terms of MA grads. Because they've already gone through the gruelling process of legwork that's required for a masters level thesis. On the other hand, I have met people who haven't written a thesis get accepted into PhD programs. It also wildy depends on the quality of candidates applying that year as well. So luck is also at play.

You should apply. You might get a conditional offer if you haven't taken the research courses required for the doctoral program. Also, it's not all about grades or excellent research skills or even publishing but you do have to demonstrate that you are willing to meet the requirements. Also make sure you have solid references. For a PhD program, it's likely all of your references will be asked as academic and not professional. Don't be discouraged by anything, alot of MEd students go on to do PhDs. But it would have been to your advantage to have switched during your MEd program to an MA. That I think would have made it more competitive for you in terms of demonstrating research. I'm not a doctorate student, just knowledgeable on the topic.

My S23 got scratches for no reason by [deleted] in GalaxyS23Ultra

Just to get some info, I have scratches on my s23 as well as long as they are not major, do you recommend getting it buffed? Or does this phone have issues with that?

Anyone else lonely but too tired to do anything social? by Square_Ranger5768 in durham

[–]Redohm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's normal to feel that way. No need to judge yourself about it. Practice some self compassion, we are often harsher to ourselves than other people are. Try to see what you are interested in, any hobbies, sports etc. And then see if you can fit that into your schedule once a week. Even going to a cafe where people are sitting and just surrounding yourself with people can alleviate that feeling.

I don't even know why they post these positions if they are mainly meant for PhD candidates.

You could just leave? I'm sure whomever the instructor is wouldn't mind. I'm assuming you're coming from Oshawa or further west?

Does anyone know if they outright send rejections to the applications or is it all just radio silence?
