Tickets to Leave
At the end of each class period (or, if you are not able to attend synchronously due to extenuating circumstances, after watching the recording asynchrounsly) send me a Direct Message in Discord, answering both of the following questions:
1. One specific thing from class today that you either: (a) found interesting, (b) want to know more about, (c) think was the most important point you learned today in class or (d) something you learned that you didn't know before.
2. One specific thing from today’s class that you were either: (a) confused about, (b) have further questions about, or (c) want clarification about. (This will give you a clue as to what you should study before the next class)
Notes on TTL
-
There are no right or wrong answers, these TTLs are an opportunity for you to reflect and process everything we talk about in class, whether it’s a lecture and group discussion, a full-class critique, or a peer-to-peer critique.
-
I may direct you to references or resources, give an emoji response, or a delayed emoji or reference response (or no response at all: don't worry this does not mean anything).
-
They will help inform me of what I could dive into more deeply (if a number of people are excited about the same thing, for example), or what I might need to review/clarify in the following class.
- This is a technique to foster balanced mutual co-education; you learn from me, I learn from you. If it’s only one sided, that balance can be thrown off and we can get stuck going in circles. If we both learn from each other, we can go much further.
Final Self Assessment
Send your final self assessment as a PDF in a Discord Direct Message to me.
