Themes of "How I learn Best"

*Those who like to write, use BB, quizes Despise group work
*Those who like groupwork don't like reading, or writing on BB
*Lecture- all over the place!
Blackboard overall has a pretty good learning rating. A good number of you (more than half) learn well on your own. So the structure of the class (with many online classes) should support this type of learning.
Part of the reason I am making partner only groups is that groups of 3 or more tend to have slackers. In partner groups, if one partner slacks, it is pretty obvious, and the grade reflects this (you get individual grades even though you present together).
If you have a partner that is not pulling their weight, you need to let me know.
I didn't come up with anything fantastic. You all learn in different ways, so I will continue mixing methods!
Attendance affects your grade. Don't let this surprise you at grading time. You have many online classes, which gives you flexibility- which is all the more reason to make sure you make it to in- person classes.
See you next Wednesday!
