For one of my classes we have to write a 'Weekly Reflection' covering teaching styles and content in relation to Technology Engineering that we observed that week. The easiest way is to build a blog and have our instructor, Dr. Wright, subscribe to it.
Hands On: Our first day with Bro. Shumway was not a typical first day experience. Instead of handing out a syllabus with rules and deadlines, he passed around a single wire, battery, and light bulb. He charged us with the task of simply lighting the light bulb. After everyone accomplished the task we watched a video of MIT graduates face the same problem. A third of the students surveyed couldn't figure it out. :)
I really liked having an active first day. It communicated to me that we were going to have an active semester, which I prefer. The Wongs suggest in their book that the first week of school be set aside to establish rules, expectations, patterns and routines. Bro. Shumway covered that on day two. :)
