Lesson plan

2025-08-21

The course of 2025-08-25 was cancelled. A new course has been scheduled at 2025-10-15 As I now have scheduled time to prepare (and I will not have this time in the middle of October), let's prepare now!

Already due to my earlier preparation, this is the status of the technology

Things I want to try out new:

  • Add quizzes

About quizzes, from [Glodowski et al., 2020]:

  • Quizess should be frequent
  • Quizess should be administered in-class
  • [Does not apply] Quizess should have a connection to the exam
  • Feedback for answer accuracy
  • An effective grade-related or social contingency. Or, in my words: the quizzes must be related to grades in an effective way, or use social pressure to convince the learners to do so.

I wonder, don't I already do so? I know I sometimes ask the Prior questions again at the end. Or I prepare Feedback questions. That counts!

Hence, I am done, after preparing the Feedback questions. Let's do it!
