Work less, teach better and get better feedback: why we tried innovative teaching methods

Speaker: Patrick McSweeney Organiser: Time: 15/10/2014 11:00-11:45 Location: B32/3077 Abstract Having started at Southampton in 2005 I have seen quite a few changes to the way courses are taught and studied. I will reflect on some of the interesting changes I have observed and suggest their causes. As a practical example I will talk about codestrom, a peer feedback tool for learning programming. We have found that this teaching method has improved the student experience and reduced the work load for the module team. Together we will discuss how this and other recent developments can enable other teaching innovations which benefit staff as well as students. Hopefully the new class of PhD students will be able to contribute from the point of view of having recently been undergraduate students here and else where.

Feedback Toolbox

This toolbox contains information for students about how they can use feedback at the University of Southampton to improve their marks and enjoy their courses more. The toolbox also contains practical information about academic appeals, as well as a user's guide to delivering effective peer feedback.

Rebellion, repression and welfare

I develop a dynamic model of social conflict whereby manifest grievances of the poor generate the incentive of taking over political power violently. Rebellion can be an equilibrium outcome depending on the level of preexisting inequality between the poor and the ruling elite, the relative military capabilities of the two groups and the destructiveness of conflict. Once a technology of repression is introduced, widespread fear reduces the parameter space for which rebellion is an equilibrium outcome. However, I show that repression driven peace comes at a cost as it produces a welfare loss to society.

Enseñanza de la Optimización Matemática en la asignatura Métodos Matemáticos de la Economía mediante una metodología docente tipo feedback.

Realizado en la Facultad de Económicas de la Universidad de Valladolid, por 2 profesores del centro, para la asignatura de Métodos Matemáticos de la Economía. El objeto del proyecto lo constituye no la asignatura sino una parte nuclear de la misma (la Optimización Matemática), que ha sido impartida a lo largo del bienio 2003/2004 por los profesores miembros del proyecto. El fin perseguido ha sido dotar al alumno de un papel activo en la tarea docente y que sea de forma interactiva en la medida de lo posible. La metodología seguida ha sido tipo feedback, mediante la que el alumno puede modificar su conocimiento de la materia mediante ensayos y errores. En la primera fase del proyecto, se ha elaborado el material necesario para poder llevar a cabo el desarrollo de la materia (esquemas teóricos, listas de problemas, etc.). La fase intermedia ha contado con material on line del que el alumno dispone y con el que puede autoevaluarse. En la fase final, el alumno puede subsanar errores o carencias mediante la orientación del profesor. Además de la posibilidad de acceder a todo el material a través de la Web de la asignatura, se ha proporcionado a los alumnos direcciones de Internet mediante las cuales acceder a bibliografía, programas y sistema de examen. La valoración ha sido muy positiva: los índices de alumnos aprobados y las encuestas docentes externas sobre idoneidad de los profesores realizadas por los estudiantes lo avalan.
