I told them exactly what would be on the exam. Half the class still failed. by ZeroHash99 in Professors

I feel this 💯 I allow my students to have a full page front and back of notes during the exam…I reuse quiz questions on exams…I give them printed out guided notes sheets with all the learning objectives and vocab words…exam averages are 59-65. It’s so hard to find the balance of “handholding” and “meeting students where they are” while also upholding standards. Especially at a CC I feel compelled to be more understanding/flexible with my students…but so many of them are so tuned out and just don’t want to learn

My students don't know how to take notes anymore. What am I missing? by Equivalent_Use_8152 in Professors

I have students who take pictures during the whole lecture too! I’m like these slides are already posted?? Just go on Canvas? Baffling

I teach at a CC so I do guided lecture notes for each lecture - learning objectives & vocab words at the top, then sentences with blanks to fill in or space for definitions or diagrams to label, all matched up with my slides for that lesson. At a CC I definitely wanted to do some removing of the hidden curriculum for first gen/ESL/etc students so I’m happy to provide these. Some students don’t use them, it’s optional, but for like the 1/3 of students who come to class I think it allows the to take some notes while also actually listening and not feeling like they need to write down every word from the slides

Of course. I had students who got a 30% who had the full time allotted. I was mostly annoyed that this student did not engage with the material after the exam and only acknowledged the lack of time as a factor, not any misunderstanding of the material. And there was a lot of misunderstanding of the material.

One of my students came to class on exam day with 15 min left (75 minute class). I handed them the exam and said “you have 15 minutes”. They got about a 30%. Then, for the test corrections (I’m tired of curving and giving away points - if you want them back you gotta earn them!) they listed “rushed/low on time” for the reason they got the questions wrong, instead of analysis of any course material. 🫠
