Beginning Drawing
-Consider holding
individual conferences with students after they submit drawings to discuss
their grades (beyond the typed feedback / rubric / group critique). Students
could even “sign up” for a time slot.
Introduction to Printmaking
-Individual conferences
(see “Beginning Drawing” section)
-Scheduling the second
to last critique as an individual critique that coincides with an individual
conference regarding the final project is the way to go. Students get more
attention from me regarding previous work, and we can plan for the final
project.
2D Foundations
-I introduced the final
project before concluding the current project (which isn’t weighted heavier
than previous projects, as is the case in other classes - the final project in
2D is simply the last project). Given the fact we lost a day for the visiting
artist as well as student conferences, the students were at varying places in
the current project. Some of theme needed more time for the current project
while others could use the time to get started on the final project. I don’t
know if it’s the way to go for the final 2D project in every circumstance, but
it’s a good strategy for such scheduling challenges (in any class).
General Art History
-Due to time
constraints, I may eliminate one chapter (chapter 20). I did this in the
face-to-face version of this class in the spring as well. In the future, I
would prefer not to do this.

Daniel, I like the idea of conferences, but I caution you to pace yourself. Individual conferences are great for student and your relationship with them! but (and this is a big BUT), they are exhausting. Proceed with enthusiastic caution. Also, what do you not want to do - eliminate a chapter or teach that one in particular? If you don't think it's helpful or just too much, take it out. If you don't want to to take it out, maybe you can reassess what you are doing throughout the semester to include the important parts. Let me know if you want help breaking it up. :)
