Reflection on Instructional Change:

Offer choice when appropriate (group projects, assignments, assessments

When I assigned projects, I allowed students to form their own groups using the Canvas tool for group sign up. This allowed the students to leverage any past relationship they already had or step out and forge new relationships themselves by reaching out to other students to form groups.

I also gave 3 or 4 choices of topics to address in an assignment rather than just requiring all the students to complete the same assignment. I did this by including all the choices of topics in the assignment details and specifically instructing them to select and only respond to one. I used this practice to give students an opportunity to best demonstrate the knowledge. Students often will put more effort in an assignment they really enjoy and sometimes they just understand one topic better than another, so when they have a choice, they have an increased chance of performing better

Group dynamics were a little easier to handle since most students were working with other students that they already knew and had chosen themselves. Where students could pick their own topic, they showed preference for different topics. This suggests that students may have believed that they were able to better address one topic over another and therefore were more confident

The Online Discussion Forum with colleagues was most impactful. This activity was very helpful because I got many ideas from my colleagues as well as feedback on my teaching practices
