@jason_loxton I teach GenChem in a flipped classroom and it’s taken a few iterations, but with online homework due before class & high expectations that they come prepared, it does add a lot of accountability. Not the cure to everything, but worth giving a try if you’re already considering imo
I think our campus at @OglethorpeUniv is so beautiful! I want to see all of the beautiful places you work or study. Retweet with a picture of your campus!
@Steve_Mang Assigned groups for group work, a number of peer-reviewed assignments, highlighting the expertise of various students in the classroom, encouraging collaborative work via research projects with connected goals. And trying out assigned study groups outside of class this semester!
Asked my P-Chem students about their fave chem class so far and one mentioned an elective I taught because "that is the class in which I became friends with other chemistry majors"
🥲I work really hard to build classroom community so this totally made my day.

It's the first day of classes and because I'm starting my 4th year, it means my very first (Covid) freshmen are now seniors and they've been stopping by to say hi and tell me about upcoming interviews and their summer research and wow, I am so dang proud. 🥹#AcademicChatter
@SlangsOnSports Wore this shirt to the Reds game last night where my grandfather with ALS was honored as the Hometown Hero (local veteran)! Sending so much love and encouragement to you, Sarah!
@justinprattjp@jessicakarchCER @EllenYezierski @seerymk Hi Justin, do you know when we should expect to hear back after having submitted an abstract? The program looks awesome!
@emilypawley Haha yes! It reminds me of when we were kids we’d sometimes be quiet in the backseat of the car hoping mom or dad would forget to drop us off at daycare before going to work 😅
Told one of my classes and then they would act like they were hoping I’d forget about class.
@chemDrV@andrechemist student and it’s so dependent on the amount of effort a student is willing or has the capacity to give. Even with our tiny classes, I still wish I had more time with each student. /2
@chemDrV@andrechemist I love this, Marie! I’m at an institution where classes are capped at 20 students & I work hard to offer individualized support, especially for students I’ve had before. Often they are very successful after getting access to what they need. Even still, it’s hard to help every /1
