Article: Making Homework Central to Learning
Here are some of the comments I made in response to what I was reading.
- What prompted them to do this?
- *feedback
-I think homework should be graded
-Interesting
-11^th grade math class
-Problem: students may work hard and not do well
-Use of other assignments can help fill the grading void (in class assignments)
-How to apply this to art
-Homework is apart of learning new material
-Perhaps that is unfair?
-Still marked for correctness
-Still need to realize importance
-Agree
-Relate this to my content area- non traditional homework focused --- still check to see if they are understanding concepts through small assignments
-Helps students to see the importance of homework and education without being forced to do it.
