Will It Blend? Experiences in a Flipped Classroom
Diana Skrzydlo, Faculty of Mathematics, University of Waterloo, October 6, 2022,

Abstract:Like many instructors, during the pandemic I developed lecture videos
for the courses I taught. I also discovered many advantages with online
teaching, although I missed the classroom interactions. When teaching in-person
this Fall, I wanted to keep the best of both worlds and so I fully flipped my
course, STAT 334. Lecture material is delivered asynchronously via videos and
the reduced in-class time prioritizes active learning and formative
assessment.In this talk I will shareideas (from my own course and others’)
about ensuring student accountability to the material, getting buy-in from
students, scheduling options, and the support that is available for teaching in
this modality. There will also be lots of time for discussionand questions.

The Whys, Whats, and Hows of Feedback
Burcu Karabina, Faculty of Mathematics, University of Waterloo, June 30, 2022,

Abstract: Changing technology is disrupting the educational landscape at an
alarming rate. 65 percent of today's students will graduate into jobs that
do not yet exist, according to the World Economic Forum. Over 85 percent of
the jobs in 2030 have not yet been invented. Hard skills tend to have a
shelf life of five years. What effect will this analysis have on modern
workplaces? Is it time to shift our emphasis from raising knowledge workers
to raising learning workers? What are the skills needed as a result? Soft
skills will gain in importance. Through mathematics, students are able to
acquire and master complex problem-solving, reasoning, analysis, creativity,
active learning, critical thinking, and programming skills. According to
Forbes (2019), 15 soft skills you need to succeed when entering the
workforce are empathy, the ability to influence peers, emotional
intelligence, curiosity, positivity, active listening, humility,
communication skills, creative problem solving, resilience, observation
skills, the ability to contextualize, willingness to ask questions,
relationship building, self-awareness. What soft skills can we tap into by
changing the way we assess student learning and provide feedback?
This talk will examine the implementation of peer feedback mechanism in a project based mathematics course called "Introductory Algebra for Social Sciences." We will also take a look at the history of feedback and look at how different forms of feedback have increasingly become integral to learning theories and designs.
