During this session we discussed Part 2 of the book.

CH 4 Fostering Intrinsic Motivation: Andy Kaufman students are teaching Russian Literature in a juvenile detention center BOOKS BEHIND BARS

We discussed different options that we have tried or will try to get students motivated. One suggestion was to give students assignments in which they could personalize their project using their home country or a company of their choosing.

CH 5 LEARNING FOR MASTERY:  Student pick their own assignments. GIVING STUDENTS SENSE OF CONTROL.  Quizzes are a great tool -STUDENTS EARN THEIR GRADE!   The book Specification Grading by Linda Nilson was suggesting to see examples.

CH6 LOWERING THE STAKES: the test effect-testing not studying promotes long term recall.  “Testing should be similar in format to actual exams so students ‘practice” the same types of questions.  Recall of memory, not storage is key. More frequent assignments, may not be worthwhile to cheat.  (Susan Ambrose –how learning works).

CH 7 INSTILLING SELF-EFFICACY: Our students are not great judges of their understanding… metacognition recognition of the ability to solve and the difficulty of solving in the time frame.  Flipped classroom-just because you cover it doesn’t mean students are learning it! P 147

FIG MEETING # 4 READING GROUP FOR CHEATING LESSONS

AT this meeting we discussed PART 3 of the book

PART 3

CH 8:  CHEATING ON CAMPUS: KBCC Honor Code –CUNY Academic Integrity Policy.   

CH 9:  An original Work: authentic assignments, much more than cutting and pasting. WHAT THE STUDENT THINKS-we learn when we internalize the lesson.-this may work okay in some disciplines.  But more difficult in applied science fields.  Students may not even know they are cheating when they do the cut and paste.    MAKING CONNECTIONS  leads to deeper learning!

Ch 10:  Responding to Cheating: what do you do?

We talked about what we have done when we though students were engaged in academic dishonesty.

CH 11:  Cheating in your classroom  

Consider using an honestly statement to remind them before taking exam !
