March 12 marks the middle of this semester. We are almost halfway through. That also means it’s time for the midterm exam. Additionally, we have a small discussion this week. It includes responses to last week’s discussion and the start of a new one.
Finally, I’d appreciate your feedback on a survey. It can help me improve the class and help me assess some of the teaching methods I’m utilizing this semester. Additionally, as a research survey approved by the IRB for educational research,  it may help you better understand some of the concepts in this class, such as informed consent and how Likert scales work.

Deadline: March 16 at 2 pm Central
