One of the benefits of 2-stage exams, where students answer the questions alone and then again in groups, is students leave the room probably knowing the answers to the questions. You're less likely to overhear conversations afterwards in nearby washrooms like, "What the fuck was that?!?"One of the benefits of 2-stage exams, where students answer the questions alone and then again in groups, is students leave the room probably knowing the answers to the questions.

Got it, thanks! I will def being using "growth guide" instead of "rubric" when it comes to supporting course instructors. As @lindsaymasland.bsky.social says, "rubric" primes people for evaluation and who wants to be evaluated, right?!? Brilliant way to re-frame it 🏆

@derekbruff.bsky.social Do you have a transcript up for the Intentional Teaching episode with Lindsay Masland? I want to grab her description of a rubric, something like "pathway for growth"?

I'm absolutely >not< advocating for LMS copshit. Instead, what are your experiences doing the check-in in large classes? And remember, instructors' perceptions of "large" vary greatly!

In astronomy, when Galileo first observed the four large moons of Jupiter in 1610, he called them the "Medician stars" after the Medici family. And when William Herschel discovered Uranus in 1781, he named it George's Star (well, Georgium sidus) after King George III. Plus ça change...In astronomy, when Galileo first observed the four large moons of Jupiter in 1610, he called them the "Medician stars" after the Medici family.
