Additional guidelines and resources for reflection paper
Part I: Plan for taping, due March 5th
We will take care of videotaping for you, but we will need to work together on some logistics. Decide if there's a particular GAE, recitation session, or lab session coming up that you would like taped. Please write a quick paragraph (can be via e-mail) with the date/time of the lesson and a brief description of the content. Also, let us know your preferences for microphone placement -- would you prefer for a microphone to be placed with a particular small group, or would you prefer to wear a microphone? (Placement with a small group means that you would need to be sure to visit that group, but you might also be able to get a sense of what that group talks about when you're not around. Wearing the microphone would likely give you more of a range of interactions to choose from.)
Part II: Reflection paper, due April 16th
Your analysis of selected interactions with students should be ~4 pages single-spaced and include transcript. (It would be most helpful to integrate transcript into your narrative where relevant -- for instance, if you want to talk about a particular exchange two students had about protein folding, include transcript of the exchange right before your discussion of the exchange.) Each paper should include the following:
Please spend the vast majority of your paper discussing #2 & #3 above.
