In the Classroom . . .
- As part of the distance education course you are TAing, you are responsible
for monitoring a computer conference. One conferencing group in particular
seems to be getting along well and discusses a variety of issues both related
and unrelated to the course. In one of the unrelated discussions a student
passes on several jokes. After the jokes are posted the discussion seems
to slow down substantially. A couple of days later you get a personal
e-mail from one of the students in this group commenting that he found
the jokes very offensive. He doesn't want you to say anything because
they have to work as a group for the rest of the semester. What would
you do?
- You are TAing a first year science course. A particularly enthusiastic
student regularly asks you questions after the labs and has dropped by
your office to get help with her first lab report. As she seems interested
in the course and is focussed on doing well, you believe she will 'ace'
the report. When you go to mark her report you are quite shocked to find
that her answers are very unclear; it seems she did not understand anything
that happened in the lab. What would you do?
