Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.93,0:01:23.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,engagement and there's also a lot of
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.69,0:01:25.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,work behind the scenes during the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.58,0:01:27.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,semester to keep the course running and
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.35,0:01:28.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that all really limits the amount of
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.48,0:01:30.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,time that I can spend actually on the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.95,0:01:31.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,discussion board so I want to make sure

Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.43,0:01:51.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,semester so what the way this is going
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.86,0:01:52.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to work because of the number of
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.27,0:01:55.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,students we have about 20 students in
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.92,0:01:58.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the class is that I'm going to divide

Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.26,0:02:01.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,groups
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.77,0:02:03.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll be randomly assigned to a group
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.56,0:02:05.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so it'll rotate around and that'll give
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.60,0:02:05.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you the chance to engage with different
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.19,0:02:08.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.58,0:02:12.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it'll make sure that your discussion pod
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.64,0:02:13.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,does not stagnate at any point in the
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.15,0:02:15.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,past I've taught two sections
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.62,0:02:17.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this class simultaneously and it's been
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.18,0:02:20.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really interesting to see how each
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.22,0:02:22.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,section operates as a really independent
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.22,0:02:24.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,organism the discussion boards end up
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.20,0:02:26.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,looking very different and by moving you
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.78,0:02:28.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all around from week to week I think
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.28,0:02:33.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it'll encourage a variety of different
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.86,0:02:35.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,styles and and and different directions
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.39,0:02:36.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the discussion to emerge and you'll
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.46,0:02:38.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,still get to know each other because
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.69,0:02:40.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll probably be together for you know
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.46,0:02:42.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an average about half of the discussions
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.41,0:02:45.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,since it's random so I'll divide you up
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.81,0:02:47.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into two groups of ten into two
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.09,0:02:49.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,different discussion boards and in these
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.55,0:02:52.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,two discussion boards that's where
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.14,0:02:53.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll spend most of the week chatting
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.08,0:02:56.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with your classmates and interacting
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.58,0:02:59.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with me and each week there will be a
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.91,0:03:01.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lead for each of the discussion boards
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.33,0:03:03.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,everyone in the class participates in
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.68,0:03:05.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one of the two discussion boards and
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.66,0:03:08.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what I'll do is post the name of the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.67,0:03:11.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,participants in each of these sub boards
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.01,0:03:13.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the front page of that board like I
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.28,0:03:15.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,mentioned each board has a lead and that
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.23,0:03:17.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,name will will go out in advance so you
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.21,0:03:20.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know on a schedule when you're leading
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.42,0:03:21.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the discussion each week in these boards
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.13,0:03:23.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,should really be related to the material
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.66,0:03:24.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the class so the things that are in
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.13,0:03:27.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the lecture video are the things that
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.48,0:03:29.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are in the book you can ask questions

Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.17,0:03:43.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can be personal information or perhaps
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.52,0:03:44.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,new scientific findings or things that
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.08,0:03:48.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are going on outside of the class that

Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.11,0:04:01.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,week and the lead will grade the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.73,0:04:05.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,participants each week and over time
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.79,0:04:08.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your discussion and participation score
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.25,0:04:10.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will be cumulatively based on these
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.16,0:04:15.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,grades that you receive for these two
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.56,0:04:18.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,roles in the class so each week towards

Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.47,0:04:28.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,particular week
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.13,0:04:30.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at the end of the week they'll sum up

Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.22,0:04:35.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,post it on a third board that'll be
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.38,0:04:37.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,higher level and which everyone in the
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.11,0:04:39.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,entire class can look at so not just the

Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.97,0:04:43.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,students and it's expected that you'll
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.40,0:04:45.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,look at this and it should be
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.72,0:04:47.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,interesting to see the the different

Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.90,0:05:02.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know most of the discussion should take
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.13,0:05:06.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,place the week in which it's most
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.74,0:05:07.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,relevant but it's fine you know for
