[WhatsUpUoH] Some Useful Information about Teaching: Specially for the New One.


---------- Forwarded message ----------


Institute for Humane Studies

IHSHeader.jpg

friend,

Are you nervous about teaching? There's a lot of advice out there for how to improve, but the most important advice is this: don't neglect your teaching, but don't over-invest your time either. While teaching is important, you're ultimately in school to focus on your research.

That being said, improving your teaching skills should help you reduce the time you spend on teaching duties and increase the amount of time you spend working toward publication. Whether you'll soon be teaching for the first time or you've already begun teaching, here are some common pitfalls new teachers experience, and how to avoid them.

Self Doubt

You probably know your subject better than you think you do, and you don't have to know everything about a subject to know and teach it. It's okay not to know everything.

Self Criticism

You're your own worst critic. If you make a mistake, most students probably won't even notice. Just embrace it and move on.

Remember, even great teachers have bad days. Focus on improving instead of dwelling on mistakes. And while you should take student comments seriously, don't read too much into them—they often correlate with grades.

Unease with Public Speaking

Like writing, the only way to get better is to practice. Everyone has their own tips and tricks, but some that may help are:

  • Tell stories and form narratives
  • Use humor
  • Pick subject matter that excites you—energy calms the nerves!
  • Avoid crutches (notecards, powerpoints, etc.) especially early on
  • Set the tone on the first day of class
  • Start with an activity pertaining to your topic—don't hand out the syllabus until the end of class on the first day

Lack of direction from your department

Your colleagues aren't there to show you how to teach—your class is ultimately your responsibility. If you're looking for direction, try:

  • Looking at past syllabi from other instructors
  • Ask to observe your colleagues teaching, and copy the habits of great teachers
  • Consulting other universities and online resources
  • Adapting the class as the semester proceeds

Dealing with problem students

Problem students take many forms. Whether they're plagiarizing, trying to negotiate a better grade, or simply not up to par on reading and writing skills, you'll inevitably encounter them.

You can minimize their impact by:

  • Establishing firm rules and parameters
  • Setting expectations up front
  • Including your policies in your syllabus
  • Documenting everything in case problems emerge

Working with students in general

Treat students like the adults the are, even when they don't act like it, and make sure they use face time with you effectively.

Over the course of the semester, you can start firm & grade hard at the beginning, then ease expectations as the semester progresses.

I hope you'll find these tips helpful as you step into the classroom.

Best,

Nigel

Re: [WhatsUpUoH] Fwd: राजभाषा हिंदी के प्रयोग हेतु वार्षिक कार्यक्रम 2016-2017

Sir/Madam,

The second page of the attachment is completely in HINDI. The official jargon used in Hindi is something that most of us do not follow. Could you please attach an English format of the second page too. This is only to clearly understand the circular that has been sent.

Regards,
Shalini.

[WhatsUpUoH] Fwd: Opportunity: £2,000 prize for arts and humanities research films


---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: AHRC <communications@ahrc.ac.uk>
Date: Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 6:52 PM
Subject: Opportunity: £2,000 prize for arts and humanities research films
To: abusalehenglish@gmail.com


Only two weeks left to apply for the AHRC Research in Film Awards
£2,000 prize for arts and humanities research films
Only two weeks left to apply for the 
AHRC Research in Film Awards
Academics and film-makers are being encouraged to enter their work into the Research in Film Awards, organised by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. 

The competition closes on Friday 01 July at 17:00 hours. 

These awards are designed to encourage, stimulate and recognise the considerable body of work created at the interface between research and film and to recognise the world-leading work of researchers, practitioners and film-makers in the arts and humanities research community

There are five categories in total with four of them aimed at the research community - this includes a one award with a focus on Utopia, as 2016 is the 500th anniversary of Thomas More's 'Utopia' being published. The Awards also have a category open to the general public.

The winning film makers in each category will receive £2,000 towards their film-making and the chance to attend a ceremony this November at the prestigious 195 Piccadilly in London, the home of BAFTA.

Last year's entries were judged to great acclaim, by a panel of industry and academic experts including film director Beeban Kidron; Financial Times Arts Editor, Jan Dalley; and actor and producer, Diana Quick, many of whom will be appearing on the judging panel for this year's awards.
Best film produced by a researcher or research team in 2015 

KANRAXËL: The Confluence of Agnack - Anna Sowa, SOAS/Chouette Films, University of London

This film represents a unique cultural and creative resource, conveying aspects of diversity and multilingualism in Africa. It paints a portrait of diversity and multilingualism as a daily, hourly linguistic practice, drawing the audience in by telling the story of the village of Agnack Grand preparing for an unforgettable event.

Judges commented, this is "a beautifully filmed and scripted film," said judges; "a highly sophisticated film, beautifully shot, cut, and recorded, which conveys the nature of multilingual life in the village very effectively indeed." 
Inspiration Award - Best film inspired by arts and humanities research

 "This Island's mine" - Myriam Rey

This short film examines the 'The Hunter Heartbeat Method' developed by Kelly Hunter which uses Shakespeare to release the communicative blocks within children with autism. The filming took place only twice during two 40 minutes long sessions with the children. The film aims to tell the story of these children in that particular space at that specific moment of time.

Judges said this film was "a straightforward but powerful account of work with a very challenging group of young people"; "a powerful film expressing the value of this particular arts therapy project. It highlights the power of art to break down barriers between people who communicate differently."
