This is a Jupyter notebook that defines a function for easily making (what I think are rather nice looking) vowel plots.

The notebook can be used as a worksheet for helping students create their own vowel spaces, or you may just like to use the function to easily plot data!

This fillable form allows you to check off IPA symbols in an Adobe fillable form. If you open it in Acrobat (professional or free), the embedded JavaScript will spit out the inventory you create in copy-pasteable text on the second page. (You can also enter other notes there!) 

This is a document I put together for a Linguistics Pop-Up Mentoring program I organized at the beginning of the transition to remote learning during Spring 2020. A lot of students were feeling isolated and unsure of who to talk to since they were missing the informal chances to run into faculty and graduate students which were available when we were all on the same floor!

These questions are broken down into different categories and may be a good resource for organizers of Linguistics-related group events!

This is a mid-semester feedback form I've had very good luck with in classes! I like to ask students to check in on their own participation as well. I find this a helpful reflexive practice on its own, and, in my experience, asking students to take accountability for their own contributions often leads to more balanced and thoughtful feedback. More importantly, it gives you a chance to check the pulse on how your students are feeling about things in general. This kind of information is just as valuable for improving the rest of your course!

Access the LaTeX file on Overleaf, or make a copy of the Google Form. Just remember to edit it to reflect your class! 

The form also has a section for students who don't regularly come to class to indicate the reasons they don't do so. They can then choose whether they want to answer the other questions, or just submit the form.
