Ethnic Studies 110

I believe our brain must perceive our improvement and our increased ability to do something better before it begins to feel confident. My role is to help all my students improve their learning and increase their cognitive stamina. My online courses are designed to strengthen learning muscles so they can process content and produce data-driven conclusions. Through personal feedback, I reframe mistakes as a source of information about what needs adjusting in order to hit the target. I believe the educational system has conditioned students to be scared of mistakes because they think it says something about their intelligence. As a result, students may not push for the next level of mastery. Therefore my presence, feedback and communication has to focus on what strategies students can use to level up mastery.

An 8 week online course takes a traditional 16 week course and compresses it into 8 weeks. Therefore, 6-8 hours per week shall be carved out from your weekly routine in the middle of a global pandemic. Online classwork includes weekly video messages, online lectures, discussions, unit activities, self assessments and preparing for assessments via Canvas. However accessible (no cost) reading material in Canvas, preparing for assignments and constructing unit assessments should be factored into your schedule. Yet using technology can enable us to stay focussed on work, family and school. My goal is to develop proficiency and promote mastery. Therefore I dedicate most of my time nudging students via Canvas to stay on task, learn from thier own process and level up academic performance.
