Even now, almost a month after the class has ended, I still have not received an official grade, nor have I received feedback on ANY of the projects I completed for the class, including the summative project. All I received as a result of my first graduate class is an unoffical notification of my grade: "You received an A in the class" and a feeling that my professor does not like me very much--that I "bugged" her.<br /><br />Anyway, this study reveals five characteristics of good online professorial feedback--characteristics I want to be sure to include in the feedback I provide to my students.<br /><br />The Study: <a href="http://www.thejeo.com/Archives/Volume6Number2/GetzlafetalPaper.pdf">Effective Instructor Feedback: Perceptions of Online Graduate Students</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3719312701488333732-2100922513986941124?l=writerren.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>renaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11781487204457663016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719312701488333732.post-16005944900885172872009-08-23T10:39:00.000-07:002009-08-23T10:43:39.711-07:00I liked this study, which shows that students will think critically if educated as to what it means to "think critically."<br /><br />Along with instruction on collaboration (if I expect students to collaborate), I will also lead off my classes with instruction on critical thinking--as I will certainly expect my students to think critcally.<br /><br />The Study: <a href="http://www.ncolr.org/jiol/issues/PDF/8.2.4.pdf">Facilitating Students’ Critical Thinking in Online Discussion: An Instructor’s Experience</a> by Hua Bai at SUNY Potsdam.
