On Friday October 4th, 2024, at noon we hosted our October 2024 DOLCE presentations and discussion. We enjoyed presentations by two DOLCE speakers.
The first was Brie Tripp,
Assistant Professor of Teaching from Neurobiology, Physiology and
Behavior. In a talk titled “Formative Feedback increases Instructor
Immediacy for Students,” Dr. Tripp showed us how she uses a
straightforward formative feedback tool that allows students to feel
heard in even large lecture classes every day. She shared how QR codes link to a Qualtrics survey that she shares at the end of every lecture.
Secondly, Kirsten Harjes,
Senior Continuing Lecturer in German and the Language Program
Coordinator for German, presented on “Ideas for writing assignments
in the foreign languages in the age of GoogleTranslate and ChatGPT.”
Many of us have considered how new large language model tools encourage
“translating” between student thoughts and intentions and their final
submitted drafts. Dr. Harjes showed us how she negotiates such
challenges and opportunities.
