graphic novel genre growing with pieces like “Maus”19 or“Science Comics.”18 Regardless, there are many benefits to implementing comics in the classroom.Comics are first less expensive than textbooks and other multimedia resources. Furthermore,comics allow for the readers to interact with the pages through moving dialogues, creative visuals,and various characters. These aspects of comics allow for higher engagement and better retentionas opposed to walls of text presented by textbooks.Comics may also allow for the promotion of greater representation in curricula through its form asmore diverse and inclusive learning tools. With diversity in a field comes higher levels ofinnovation4, so having learning tools act as voices for K-12 students

A quick and useful way in which GTAs could receive more direct and hopefully usefulfeedback from students is through the ABC method, whereby students leave anonymous notes for theGTA they are working with directing them to one thing they should abandon, begin, and continue intheir practice. Judging from the earlier comment, we suggest that the GTA filter through thecomments and work from those that genuinely reflected their practice and that would help themenhance it.Observation as a form of evaluation from members of staff would be beneficial, but beyond practicalhelp should also enable GTAs to be more self-aware of their own practice and the everyday

Then there were the students who would stopyou halfway through the class saying that they need help opening the software. It seemed thatonly a small remnant of the class was still with me by the end of class and abilities to use the toolor skill later were only modestly retained. I had, therefore, begun recording these lectures forstudents to review on their own when they needed a refresher. As video technology improved, Ihad moved to assigning the videos as homework.

what the student had todelegate for the class versus what they expected to delegate. This outcome though may havebeen influenced by students primarily interacting with the TE at the end of the semester. Theselimited interactions with the TE also caused the strategy to have little influence on how studentsactively approached completing homework assignments and studying for quizzes. However, thegrade-altering actions provided by the TE gave some level of stress reduction to students as theywere completing assignments with the knowledge that major mistakes on assignments could bealleviated through a resubmission or grade drop. This promising finding shows that TEs as anundergraduate classroom instruction strategy has influence beyond behavior

, discrimination from their male peers and professors is a highly cited concern.Even for women who persist through the first-year engineering program, equity issues exist oncethey get to MEB. Even though women perform just as well as men academically in the first year,they receive lower grades in MEB. One of the strongest predictors of future academicperformance is prior academic performance. Thus, it seems unlikely that women suddenlyencountered material in MEB for which they were less prepared than their male counterparts,given that their first-year GPAs were similar. One potential explanation for the gender gap inMEB grades could be an overreliance on high stakes exams. [46] showed that courses withhigh-stakes exams systematically disadvantaged women

with admitting confusion.Through reflective practice, I realized that one source of my discomfort was a feeling that I hadfailed at meeting my own expectations of a good engineering instructor. The implications of agood/bad binary in instruction has been explored in the K-12 context: the result was called the“baggage of the binary” because when instructors are busy judging themselves for practices theydeem “bad” and holding themselves to standards defining what they deem “good” practices, theyare not reflectively interpreting the coexisting positive and negative consequences of thosepractices, which may shift with context [42]. Through my own reflection, I came to realize thatmy ingrained ideas of “good” instructing included always knowing
