Questions and Tasks
Overview
A learner takes on the role of “instructor” to provide feedback for posted responses.
Rationale
Student Facilitation discussions provide learners an opportunity to do a peer review.
It can be set up so the learner/facilitator gets feedback from the instructor on their own responses before learners review their peers
All learners practice the material, and by the end of the course, all learners have an opportunity to provide feedback to their peers.
When this works well
Courses where learners need to solve problem sets for practice - math, statistics, chemistry, physics, engineering, etc.
Connections
QM: 3.5, 5.2, 6.2
UDL: 7.1, 8.2, 8.3, 9.3, 6.1, 6.4
(This example comes from a Math class, but any course with question sets could work.)
No homework will be turned in for this course but you will be required to participate in the Problem Sets Forums. Follow the instructions below for participation in the Problem Sets.
This setup is about participation across the entire course.
For example, if you posted to 80% of the forums you would receive 8 out of 10 points for participation.
SUBJECT: Question 18
18.
A) Sample size including nonrespondents = 204+271+1313 = total 1788
B) the response rate = 475-1788 =26.6% response rate, considering the response rate is so low, if the statistics are presented as fact, they are definitely biased as it does not account for how few people chose to respond. Also, interviewer E quit, thus creating more non-respondents and thus a biased result.
RE: Question 18
B is good. For A you don’t include the nonrespondents, so it would be 475.
