Peer Lesson Observations

By Murray Bourne, 08 Dec 2004

We get our newer lecturers to sit in on a peer buddy's lesson. They observe the students - what they are doing, how they are reacting, what they appear to be learning, what points they go to sleep and when they are most engaged in the lesson.

It's always an interesting experience to go along as an observer... So many lectures suffer from "get-there-itis" - where the lecturers feel they have to get through all of the content, whether students are learning it or not.

HTML: You can use simple tags like <b>, <a href="...">, etc.

To enter math, you can can either:

  1. Use simple calculator-like input in the following format (surround your math in backticks, or qq on tablet or phone):
    `a^2 = sqrt(b^2 + c^2)`
    (See more on ASCIIMath syntax); or
  2. Use simple LaTeX in the following format. Surround your math with \( and \).
    \( \int g dx = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} \)
    (This is standard simple LaTeX.)

NOTE: You can mix both types of math entry in your comment.
