S4xE12: Meet the Professor (Teaching Practice Byte)

In this teaching practice byte (TPB), we talk to Professor Emeritus William G. Griswold about his teaching practice Meet the Professor, where he has short, small-group meetings with every student in his 200+ student course. Bill originally shared this practice as a SIGCSE Technical Symposium 2024 experience report. In our conversation, we discussed how the practice fosters engagement, why group meetings proved better than one-on-one, how such connections are increasingly valuable as AI tools reduce traditional social interactions, and his latest updates and reflections on the practice since his experience report.

S4xE10: Scaffolding Project Team Communication, Including for Neurodivergence (Teaching Practice Byte)

In this teaching practice byte (TPB), we bring you Professor Andrew Begel to discuss how to support communication for project teams through the lens of supporting our neurodivergent students. We first discuss briefly why there is a greater awareness of neurodiversity. Then we go into how to support student communication within a team setting, regardless of your students' neurotype, since it turns out all students need to be taught how to communicate more effectively! This TPB discusses concrete ways to identify hidden communication activities and how to scaffold them so students aren't guessing and doing them poorly.

S4xE9: Academic Mentoring with Valerie Taylor

Dr. Valerie Taylor from Argonne National Laboratory joins us in this episode to talk about mentoring in academia. Mentoring, at its core, starts with asking questions and seeking advice, as opposed to finding a mentor. In this episode, we discuss the ins and outs of mentoring through Valerie’s many amazing stories from her career, from identifying what questions to ask and how to say no.

S4xE8: Multi-Part Question and Answer (Teaching Practice Byte)

Dr. Luther Tychonievich from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign shares with us his multi-step Q&A process where he solicits questions from his students to get more diverse questions and strongly signals to them that he wants questions. Dr. Tychonievich goes into detail about how to shorten the exercise if you have less time, as well as considerations and ways to respond to the questions when an answer is not necessarily appropriate.

S4xE6: Peer Instruction (Teaching Practice Byte)

Peer instruction is a way to move the easy-to-learn content to before lecture, so you can spend more time during lecture on developing understanding. In this teaching practice byte, we talk to Dr. Beth Simon from UC San Diego about peer instruction, what context she's used it in, how she does it, and nuanced details that aren't always discussed when reading about this active learning technique.

S4xE5: Parson's Problems

In this episode, we have Dr. Barbara Ericson, assistant professor from the School of Information at the University of Michigan. Our topic is Parson's Problems, which are like mixed-up code chunks that students need to put in the correct places. We discuss the research behind them, how she uses them in her class, and her current work investigating how to use Parson's Problems to improve student learning.

Usually professor-ran podcasts have terrible audio sound quality. So I really appreciate that the host has taken the time to have crisp audio. Also the interviews are very well conducted and the interviewees are very interesting.
Great Podacst
