Teacher Becomes the Student: Enrollment Email



Received this email today about my courses for the summer. One thought that occurs to me is that I might want to share this same information on my course Canvas sites.

Policy: 02.10.14- Course withdrawal: After the drop/add period, you may withdraw from a course prior to the withdrawal deadline.  The withdrawal will result in a W grade notation on your transcript, and you will remain financially responsible for the course.  If you do not withdraw but fail to complete the course, you remain responsible for the grade you receive.

During the LOA period, you will not be eligible for financial aid and your status will be reported to loan service agencies as “not enrolled”, which may result in loan repayment.  If you wish to apply for LOA, please contact your advisor.  International students should contact the Office of International Services.

10 Pro-Tips to Guide you Through the Semester

1. Use the 3-column backwards-design system for creating your course. Identify your forward-looking measurable course objectives . "By the end of the semester, students should be able to...." " Forward-looking " means focusing on how students will use this learning after the semester ends. That may mean in their future careers, in their lives as citizens, or simply in the next course of a sequence. But it should not be internal to the class.

The Common Good: A Syllabus

This summer, I taught my first section of Intellectual Heritage, the program I have directed since 2017. IH offers 2 courses, required of all students at Temple: The Good Life and The Common Good. I taught The Common Good in Summer 1, a 6-week intensive session that was taught online due to COVID-19. Image of the Code of Hammurabi I taught the course asynchronously, which is standard practice in IH. Asynchronous courses, when correctly designed, provide the best opportunity for student engagement and retention. Recognizing that many students are living at home where they may either be competing with family members for internet access, or they may not have it at all, the asynchronous format allows them to complete assignments and discussions at times and places that suit them. I had students who did their work from their dining rooms, and students who did their work while at their jobs (usually because that was their best internet access point).
