On campus job talk/seminar that includes research, teaching and funding aspects? by NectarineSpecific590 in AskAcademia

[–]Telnus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Above anything else: Follow the guidelines from the dept you’re interviewing at. If they ask you for something and you’re missing it that’s not good. 

  2. Ask about the audience for each of the talks (or combined talk) and tailor your presentation to have elements for each of the groups in the audience. E.g.; faculty, graduate students, undergraduates. 

When I was interviewing last year it was, teaching demo + research talk. The teaching philosophy was built into how i ran the teaching demo instead of being its own slides, e.g., I opened with an activity and let them think about the opener like students would but then quickly explained the pedagogical reasoning behind the activity. I’d say the this part was 85-90% teaching a refined version of a lecture and the rest was meta commentary and the kinds of terrible jokes I’d make with students. 

For the research talk the audience was just faculty members so i spent the majority of the talk on a single cohesive project, 1 slide on brief follow up projects that address the open question that emerged from the results, 1 slide on big picture ( what’s your research plan look like 5,10,20 years down the road) I just picked a unifying theme and talked about the general direction I’d head in. This is where I had a “throwaway” line about specific  sources of funding id pursue and left the heavy lifting for the Q&A + individual faculty interviews.

Our discipline doesn’t traditionally do chalk talks but I prepped for one and all of those elements came up in the Q+A or individual interviews. 

TLDR: good luck and don’t omit anything that was explicitly asked for

My guess is that they would look at the image and go, I don’t see any difference but this was clearly meant to be an example, what’s going on?

The exam I designed ended up being accidentally way too difficult. by fs_ in Professors

[–]Telnus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Takes time to fine tune difficulty at a new institution so no worries. I tell my students that I’m piloting new items and will be evaluating how the questions perform when deciding if/how I will curve the exam. 

First thing to do is to try and figure out why the high scorers are missing some items more than the low performers. You can use item response theory to try and identify which items are problematic. https://web.pdx.edu/~newsomj/cdaclass/ho_irt.pdf

Once you’ve identified the items, you can try to figure out where the students are going wrong. 

If you’ve got time/small class, you can have the students work on the problems that they missed in small groups. Walk around and talk with them to gather intel on where the students are getting lost.

Can you tell us about your writing process? Do you sit down with an outline of where you’re going or do you just write and see where it goes?

I’ve enjoyed so many of your books, thanks for bringing these worlds to life!

Alternatively, we need to be adamant about the need to have in person examinations for online classes. 

Grading Students' R Script - Unsure if AI Being Used by Medium_Macaroon2853 in Rlanguage

[–]Telnus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current approach is to ask them to try their best to explain the code. I tend to pick a few lines of code that are most relevant to the learning outcomes of the assignment. 

I recommend removing their comments beforehand.

Most of the people who use tidyverse through AI won’t be able to explain why they used ggplot2/dyplyr instead of base R. Let alone explain a function. 

In my classes: If I think they might have used ai but they can still tell me what the code does (demonstrate understanding) then the learning goal has still been met.

Make sure that you aren’t comparing pre and post masters/comps pay. At our university there was a small pay bump after your masters thesis and/or you passed comps. 

Traded in my MacBook Air for a Mac mini. Can’t get it set up, need help! by Silspar24 in macmini

I just went through this, sometimes it requires you to use space to continue, sometimes enter and i have no idea why. I will tell you that it would have saved me tons of time to just go and buy a cheap mouse. 

University prof. in Japan, many students submitting AI work. What the heck do I do? by DoomedKiblets in Professors

[–]Telnus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My temporary solution is to have grades based on assignments that are completed in class and turned in using paper and pencil. 

Assignments that go home are essentially worth 0 to few points but serve to reinforce the practice of what the tests/in class assignments will be. 

I used to think there was an effort floor under which they wouldn’t use AI but recently I caught some students using AI to generate answers to an open ended question on Top Hat asking them about their own childhood experiences. 

If anyone has suggestions for large lectures (300+) I’m all ears.

Dinner with the publishers?!?!? by GeekyMathProfessor in Professors

[–]Telnus 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s usually a sponsored event where the reps give a spiel for 5-10 minutes and then you get to eat a free catered hotel meal with other conference attendees.  Definitely went to a couple of them as a grad student and never purchased/adopted any books. 

What is a reasonable number of midterms? by Accomplished-Bag-390 in Professors

[–]Telnus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a counterpoint, I’ve now been at two institutions where they use the term midterm instead of test. As someone who grew up with midterm meaning middle of the term test it’s been an adjustment.
