Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
Zoom question to those experienced (particularly gkbill): I can see the key combination for letting participants "raise their hand" to get the host's attention, but I don't see it as one of the console buttons. Am I missing something? Is there some default setting I have to alter?
Also, again, gkbill, have you used the feature to break people out into discussion groups and, if so, how well does it work? My way of running in-person discussions with classes that are 40–50 people is to first break them into groups of around 7 or so and let them consider a bunch of questions. I rotate around the class, listening in, answering questions, offering new questions. Then after about 45 minutes of that, we all talk as the full class—those same initial questions and then some more. Basically, people who talk in the small groups can get a decent participation mark, with those who continue in the big group can get a perfect score. If we only did the big group version, odds are three-quarters of people wouldn't have a chance (or choose not) to contribute. So if the break into discussion groups feature is workable, I'll do that and emulate the in-person version; otherwise I figure I'll ask people to sign up for tutorials and we won't do the big class discussion, but instead four sections of maybe a dozen students (the latter is certainly more work for me). So I'm curious if you have any experience with the smaller discussion groups option with Zoom.
edit: Never mind re. raising your hand. The Boss found it. I figured it'd be more prominent, but it's tucked into Participants mode.

Nope, but thanks! I've read all but the Russo, so I've made note of that. My class is discussing Mattson's book in late February.revbob wrote: ↑27 Jan 2021, 7:27pmHave I sent this to you before Doc?

Student emails me to say they can't do the assignment because "I don't have any opinions."

Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
Given the number of profs here who aren't teaching live this year—they're recording their lectures at home, posting them, and then see ya at the final, kids!—this is more possible than you might think.revbob wrote: ↑05 Feb 2021, 8:34amIf you’re starting an online class, check to make sure your professor is alive

I can see not giving a shit about something but presumably that shouldn't really be the case for a class like yours where most students are choosing it I would think.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Feb 2021, 8:41amSpecific so far; time will tell whether this is part of a larger pattern.revbob wrote: ↑05 Feb 2021, 8:35amAt all or on a specific subject?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑04 Feb 2021, 4:46pmStudent emails me to say they can't do the assignment because "I don't have any opinions."

Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
You'd think, but my courses sound "fun" (meaning easy), so I get a number of students who don't think there'll be any work. What's baffling in this case is that I intentionally selected a short and easy book for the first review. Sorry to say, kids, but the next books are more demanding.revbob wrote: ↑05 Feb 2021, 8:57amI can see not giving a shit about something but presumably that shouldn't really be the case for a class like yours where most students are choosing it I would think.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Feb 2021, 8:41amSpecific so far; time will tell whether this is part of a larger pattern.revbob wrote: ↑05 Feb 2021, 8:35amAt all or on a specific subject?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑04 Feb 2021, 4:46pmStudent emails me to say they can't do the assignment because "I don't have any opinions."
