Current Teaching Schedule, 2022-2023
Clark College is exiting the pandemic with a new found love of remote and online classes. We may be looking at a future with an even split between face-to-face, hybrid, and online (mix of fully async and sync remote). No HyFlex! No matter what I intend to remain teaching, as I have since 1999, fully online asynchronous mix of pre-calculus and calculus classes. May 2022's Foundations of Geometry class ended my 20+ year run teaching at University of Phoenix (yeah!). Summer 2022: Teaching two Calculus I (change text from Briggs to to Stewart; complete re-org and update to lesson notes and lectures; first time ever teaching in Cengage/WebAssign so learning curve and hundreds of hours of content creation and prep) and one Trigonometry (in MyMathLab) at Clark. Pilot "ungrading" components in Trig class including NO quizzes, a heavier weight on the MML study plan, more frequent Canvas assignments/discussions, and more of a one-on-one connection with the professor. Additionally, performing a 12-week curriculum review of Calculus I as a Mathematics SME at Outlier.org. Fall 2022: Teaching two Calculus I (in WebAssign) and two Trigs (in MyMathLab) at Clark. First time getting to moonlight (4th class) since Spring 2020. New prep for winter: Calc II change text from Briggs to to Stewart; move to Cengage/WebAssign; complete re-org and update to lesson notes and lectures so over 100 hours of content creation. Winter 2023: Teaching two Calculus I and one Calculus II (first time ever teaching Calc II in WebAssign). Pilot "milestone" progress assignment to discourage students waiting until the end of the term to do homework assignments. Spring 2023: Teaching two Trigonometry (in MyMathLab) and one Calculus II (in WebAssign). Summer 2023: Teaching one Trigonometry (in MyMathLab) and two Calculus I (in WebAssign). Fall 2023: If teaching Trig, then it will it be without MyMathLab (entirely new text/hw system) and complete re-org/update. If teaching Calc I, then it will include new department-mandated on-campus proctored midterm and final exams. Might ask to teach stats or DE for first time ever at Clark in order to stay fully async. |
