Improvements in Academia
Current Barrier | New Ideas |
→ Introductory courses and jargon in those courses | → Have more senior professors co-teach with new professors → Lack of training in teaching in graduate school → Continual education on teaching improvement → Student input in courses and teaching Ex. SALT, Teaching Learning A :: Professors have to opt in |
→ Attendance policies → Mandatory TA sessions | → Teaching materials outside of classroom, videos → Making coursework useful but needed → Listening to videos → recording lectures → How much work is required: credits, and understanding workload |
→ Credit for outside of class work | *Belonging and Becoming at Haverford: Given credit for work done in improving DEI → Not given work/ credit/ pass |
→ What do participation, “good student” eg. mean | → Challenge working ideas of what being → Lived experience count as credit |
→ Work outside academia | → Life work credit, changing ideas of what is considered valuable in academia → Experience focused on in workforce |
→ Making Customs more accessible | |
