![]() Peer Review of Teaching: Instructors can ask a trusted colleague to observe their classroom and give them feedback on their teaching. They will also conduct small group feedback sessions with an instructor’s students to provide non-evaluative, anonymous conversation notes from students in addition to the traditional survey format. If instructors are interested in sustained feedback over time from a student perspective, then they can also participate in the Pedagogical Partners program. The Poorvu Center offers consultations regarding mid-semester feedback data collected. They can seek out other ways to assess their practices to accompany student evaluation data before taking steps to modify instruction. Because of potential bias, instructors should consider student evaluations as one data source in their instruction and take note of any prevailing themes (Basow, 1995 Watchel, 1998 Huston, 2005 Reid, L. Student Evaluations (Midterm and End-of-Term): In many courses, instructors obtain feedback from students in the form of mid-semester feedback and/or end-of-term student evaluations. The University of Washington CTL offers best practices for creating a teaching portfolio. Faculty who complete the program will receive a contribution to their research or professional development budgets. The Poorvu Center offers an opportunity for faculty new to Yale to complete a teaching intensive and reflective program, the Faculty Teaching Academy, which includes a culminating portfolio. Teaching Portfolio: A more time-intensive practice, the teaching portfolio invites instructors to integrate the various components of their teaching into a cohesive whole, typically starting with a teaching philosophy or statement, moving through sample syllabi and assignments, and ending with evaluations from colleagues and students.Though less focused on classroom practices, a portfolio is an opportunity to reflect on teaching overall. Some Yale classrooms have video cameras installed for lecture capture, which instructors can then use for their self assessment. Video-Recorded Teaching Practices: Instructors may request the Poorvu Center to video record their lessons while conducting a classroom observation, or instructors can video record themselves while teaching and use a classroom observation protocol to self-assess their own practices. student- versus teacher-centered practices). Inventories are typically designed to assess the extent to which particular pedagogies are employed (e.g. Teaching Inventories: A number of inventories, like the Teaching Practices Inventory (Wieman and Gilbert, 2014), have been developed to help instructors assess and think more broadly about their teaching approaches. The instructor writes general thoughts about the day’s lesson and might reflect on the following questions: What went well today? What could I have done differently? How will I modify my instruction in the future? ![]() Scheduling a dedicated time during the 5 or so minutes after class to write their entries will ensure continual engagement, rather than hoping to find a moment throughout the day. Reflection Journals: Instructors might consider capturing a few details of their teaching in a journal to create an ongoing narrative of their teaching across terms and years. Because each semester’s students and their needs are different, reflective teaching is a continual practice that supports effective and student-centered teaching. For example, reflective teaching may include self-assessment, classroom observations, consideration of student evaluations, or exploration of educational research. ![]() This critical analysis can draw on a variety of sources: Brookfield (2017) lays out four crucial sources: “students’ eyes, colleagues’ perceptions, personal experience, and theory and research.” Instructors can use various tools and methods to learn from these sources and reflect on their teaching, ranging from low-key to formal and personal to inter-collegial. When teaching reflectively, instructors think critically about their teaching and look for evidence of effective teaching. ![]() Reflective teaching involves examining one’s underlying beliefs about teaching and learning and one’s alignment with actual classroom practice before, during and after a course is taught. This process requires information gathering, data interpretation, and planning for the future. When instructors engage in reflective teaching, they are dedicating time to evaluate their own teaching practice, examine their curricular choices, consider student feedback, and make revisions to improve student belonging and learning. ![]() ![]() ![]() Start it, click “Add+” to add a new printer, and select “Bonjour” if it isn’t automatically selected. Now you can quit the Airport Admin Utility because you want to launch a different program, Printer Setup Utility. If your printer isn’t recognized, check out the help material from Apple to remedy the problem, but most likely it’ll be fine.Īlmost done, believe it or not. This time, choose View –> Summary and see if your printer is recognized: Once you’re online, go back into the Airport Admin Utility and select the Airport Express again. Probably, you’ll need to reselect it the first time if you’ve renamed the network, but that’s easily accomplished. Make all the changes you desire, then click on “Update” and let the device restart with its new configuration options. Worth noting is that this is where I can change the administrative password (click on “Change password…”), change the broadcast name of the network (mine’s called “hardcopy” since it’s for the printer device) and add a password to the wireless network you’re creating (click “Change Wireless Security…”). I select it, enter the password (I strongly recommend you set an admin password so no-one else can monkey with your unit, btw!) and now I see this: Mine has the snazzy name “Base Station 0064c3”, as you can see. ![]() Start that and it should immediately see your device: You can check that by connecting to the Express network (which might be called something like “Apple Network 0c0037” or similar) and launching Airport Admin Utility. Hopefully your Airport Express will display the cheery green light meaning all is well, and have identified the type of printer you’ve hooked up. Then plug in your printer via the USB connection, then cycle power on your printer after you’ve plugged it into the Airport Express. While it should theoretically be possible to have the device just serve up your printer on its own wireless network, I found that the Airport Express was cranky about starting up on a power cycle without a live Ethernet plug. The first step you’ll need to do is make sure that your printer and Airport Express are being plugged in reasonably close to your Ethernet network hub or router. What I ended up doing was reseting the Airport Express three or four times (which was a pain! Fortunately, it’s documented here) and fiddling with various settings until I got everything to work properly. His new AirPort Extreme isn’t showing any of the problems the old one did.Your timing is excellent: I just recently set up one of these networks myself and found it rather tricky, truth be told. Ian followed up to let me know that while he didn’t have a qualifying warranty, he had previously reported problems to Apple while his router remained under warranty, and the company agreed to replace it at no charge. You could wind up with a total of five years of warranty coverage. If you purchase an AppleCare warranty for a Mac, not only is the Mac covered for three years from its initial date of purchase, but any AirPort base station bought up to two years before that point is also covered through that three year period. He believed it was out of warranty, but I suggested he check a little-known angle that Apple offers for extended warranty support. I suggested to Ian that the hardware was probably failing, since this matched my and other people’s experience. Eventually, I replaced it with a TP-Link router, which has given me no grief after years (so far). It would lock up in weird circumstances, sometimes including when trying to use the printer attached via its USB port. I’ve had the same report from other readers, and experienced something similar a few years ago with the latest-generation AirPort Extreme. Clicking Edit for the AirPort Extreme results in nothing. AirPort Utility shows all the Apple base stations, but he can get the Express models to open up their configuration in AirPort Utility. He has both an AirPort Extreme and some of the less-expensive AirPort Express extenders on his network. Because people have shifted to buy routers from other companies, we’ve gotten fewer and fewer queries about quirks with Apple’s access points, but they still come in every week or two, and the latest from Macworld reader Ian is typical. ![]() ![]() ![]() Henceforth you'll be shown the following screen when using MSTSC to connect to this server.

During realism play, even though the difficulty can still be set the same, the game becomes more challenging due to the fact that players must constantly be aware of other players due to the fact that objects and players don’t glow, the witch does kill you if you startle her, common infected are only critically damaged by headshots, and there are no respawns. During normal play, objects and players glow, the witch doesn’t kill you instantly if you startle her, common infected aren’t only critically damaged by headshots, and players respawn during chapters. There are two different “ways” to play Left 4 Dead: normally, or realistically. Marathon-type levels would give the more hardcore L4D-lovers a chance to test their endurance. What if, instead of 50 minute campaigns featuring multiple chapters, there was one level with no safehouses or save points at all? What if it took over an hour and a half to get through it? What if only the best players even have a chance to make it to the end unscathed? Campaigns such as these might turn off some, but after playing plenty of levels that last no more than an hour, I would love to have a bigger challenge thrown at me. I wonder what would happen if Valve took this mechanic a step further. Even when the levels open up, like in Swamp Fever, you don’t get lost due to the outstanding construction of each campaign. It’s astounding how you can navigate a boxed in map that is basically pushing you from checkpoint to checkpoint and never once feel boxed in. The Left 4 Dead franchise has some of the best level design around. Related: Watch The Dota 2 International Championships on ESPN If bots only healed with permission from actual players, a lot of frustration would disappear. I hate it when a bot decides the best time to use a medkit is in the middle of a horde when the most injured player is only in the yellow and has just taken pills. Furthermore, I wish bots would only heal themselves (or others) upon command. What if bots had the ability to pick up projectiles and give them to players upon request? Sure, I would never trust a bot to actually use a throwable object like a pipe bomb or bile on their own, but if the bot could act like a pack mule by carrying such items around for me, that’d be great. I think bots have more potential than the franchise presents. It’s equally as awesome that bots can’t use throwable items and are pretty much just used as bait for most campaign runs. Nothing is more infuriating than playing with two other players and a bot decides to heal when its health is full and takes the last medkit when no one is looking. What about sharing ammo, trading weapons on the fly, or giving away medkits? You may be thinking that such additions would be unnecessary, but after extended play of L4D2, I can tell you my team would love nothing more than this.Īh, bots. But what if he had the ability to give his molotov to another player? This would have alleviated the team’s frustration, and giving away items is realistic and fun to boot! But it goes farther than that. For instance, we’ve all been at that moment when we’re playing with a new guy and he’s got the only molotov and a tank is coming. I think one of the biggest improvements to the series could be the addition of more co-op abilities. Almost every FPS nowadays features iron sights why should a game that allows players to kill thousands of zombies an hour be any different? Adding iron sights to the game would add a bit more complexity to the arcade-like game and give players a better feeling of control overall. Sure, you could argue that the protagonists of the game aren’t gun savvy enough to know how to properly use iron sights, but if that were true, Zoey wouldn’t be running around with an autoshotty with explosive shells like it’s nobody’s business. However, I think the simple addition of iron sights could change all this. The games are loved for their cooperative edge to the zombie franchise, not their outstanding gameplay. It’s not likely Valve will ever make a sequel to this game, but if they do, here’s what I’d want in it.įor fans of L4D and L4D2, it’s no secret that the series isn’t known for its stellar gunplay.

According to experts, outlet malls can charge these low prices because store overhead is much lower at outlet locations and because retailers benefit from having a place to sell otherwise off-spec or off-season merchandise without taking a hit. Outlet prices vary, with most retailers discounting the whole store by a certain percentage, then tacking on additional savings to particular products.Īccording to Real Simple, you can expect to receive about 20% to 40% off a store’s full product line at an outlet mall, with some pieces marked down as much as 70% to 80%. Even if that is a valid assessment, that doesn’t mean you aren’t getting a deal. Some people claim outlet prices are a scam, arguing brands often list a higher original selling price so the given discount seems steeper. The bottom line: At outlet malls, it’s important to thoroughly inspect your selections before hopping to checkout to make sure your deal really is as good as it seems. But some retailers also feature brand new merchandise in outlet storefronts - though some pieces are likely made to be of lesser quality than their full-price counterparts, according to experts.

How Is Parallax Used In Calculating A Parsec? That’s because because one arcsecond of parallax is one parsec. We need to know both parallax and arcsecond to properly calculate a parsec. Parallax and An Arcsecond Walk Into A Classroom… Calculating A ParsecĪnd how do scientists (or time-traveling smugglers) use parsecs?īelieve it or not, with some high school math, you can calculate a parsec. Here’s a visualization: if you were drew a straight line between an object in space and Earth, and a straight line between the same object and our Sun, if the angle between the lines is one-arcsecond, then the object is one parsec away – or 3.3 light-years. To put that into perspective, there are more than 70 star systems within 3.3 light years of planet Earth. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) passed a resolution – B2 – in 2015 that included a mention of an existing explicit definition of what a parsec is:Įxactly 648000 / π astronomical units, or approximately 3.08567758149137×10 16 metres Parsecs to Light Years ![]() Why Do We Use Parsecs?īasically, parsecs are what scientists use to find the distance of stars within 100 light years of our solar system. It takes place during a scene where Han Solo brags that the Millennium Falcon “made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.” The famous space smuggler was bragging about his ship the Millennium Falcon’s ability to endure shorter, much more risky routes through hyperspace. This article begins with an infamous line in Star Wars: A New Hope. The unit was likely named by a British astronomer, Herbert Hall Turner, who suggested the unit of astronomical measurement in 1913. The term parsec is a portmanteau – a combination of two words: Parallax and Arcsecond. To be exact, a parsec is a unit of distance that’s equal to ~19 trillion miles:ġ parsec = 3.26 light-years = 19 trillion miles Partially because of the off-the-wall time travel theories we’ve extrapolated from it, but mostly for George Lucas’ mistaking of time for distance.
