What Do You Love About Teaching? (I bet it’s not grading.)

By John Beaumont on November 19, 2021 10

Ultimately, I want students to walk away from my class having had a positive experience in which they have learned things that stick with them on some level. My experimentation with ungrading is helping me and the students I teach shift our thinking away from grading toward learning.

How Can Departments Better Support the Careers of Part-Time Faculty? Introducing GSECS

By Mira M. Zaman and Boyda Johnstone on May 17, 2021 1

Since the success of our departments depends on the crucial work of part-time faculty, we need to create a space where their concerns about their careers are heard and validated. Our hope is that other departments develop initiatives similar to the English department's Graduate Student and Early-Career Support committee, which supports graduate students and early-career adjuncts.

Making Zoom a More Collaborative Place

By Margaret Carson on March 19, 2021 13

Like most faculty at BMCC, I was a newbie to synchronous online teaching when classes suddenly went remote last March and had little idea how to “Zoomify” my Spanish classes. Thanks to the hive mind of the Internet, YouTube, and my BMCC colleagues, I’ve learned a few ways to push back against the virtual “wall” of Zoom so that more student-to-student exchanges can occur.

What Would You Do, Professor? Teaching about the COVID Vaccine

By Yuliya Shneyderman on January 22, 2021 4

Teaching about vaccines and COVID19 is not just biology. I believe it is our responsibility to provide students with accurate information, and to add context relevant to the courses we teach. Most disciplines can add to the conversation around the pandemic and vaccines and provide much-needed context to students.
