Good deeds policy
For any course that I teach, there is a good deeds policy. It is very simple.
- Students who try hard (e.g. working hard, being curious and not being afraid to show uncertainty while being open) will get noticed.
- Students who contribute much (e.g. leading discussions) will get noticed.
There are many concrete ways one gets noticed.
- Classroom discussions.
- Office hour discussions.
- On-line discussions.
