Admittedly, I spend a lot of time on Twitter. I tell myself it’s all part of the job (marketing research, you know), and to be honest, I do find a lot of helpful resources that I bookmark and share with colleagues but wish there were a way to make them available to others.

Here’s one I came across recently created by Rice University’s Center for Teaching Excellence. It allows faculty to estimate the amount of time students spend working on the course out of class. You are able to input the number of exams, reading assignments (with level of difficulty), writing assignments (length and drafts required), and length of course. The estimates are grounded in empirical research on how students work and learn.

How Should I Respond to Wrong (Or Not Very Good) Answers?

The stakes are high when instructors respond to their students’ answers to
