For once, maybe someone will call me “Sir,” without adding “…you’re making a scene.” (Homer Simpson)

 

1 | Right and Left, Oh My!

3.5 minutes

look right, look left

In Episode 43 (the previous full episode), I mistakenly swapped my “left” and “right” when describing situs inversus in a body donor from the 1800s. Oops. I corrected it later in the audio file, but the corrected audio may not play in all platforms.

This mistake does bring up how easy it is to get even the simple stuff wrong without realizing that’s what’s coming out of our mouth! Yikes.

3 | Semi-Identical Twins

boy-girl twins

6.5 minutes

Semi-identical twinning, where two sperm and one egg unite to form two offspring, both sharing 100% identical maternal genome but not sharing an identical paternal genome. Also called sesquizygotic twinning (a term not used in the podcast), there’s more to it than Kevin could discuss here, so check out the resources:

  • Semi-identical twins ‘identified for only the second time’ (plain English summary) my-ap.us/2WLupnS
  • Molecular Support for Heterogonesis Resulting in Sesquizygotic Twinning (full article from New England Journal of Medicine; includes diagrams and video) my-ap.us/2WPsBdt
  • Sesquizygous Twinning (NEJM animated video summary) my-ap.us/2WMVoPX

5 | Sorting Student Papers

5 minutesaccordion file

A simple, inexpensive accordion file folder can make recording of grades (exams, reports, assignments) easier, quicker, and more accurate.

NOTE: If you have the free TAPP APP installed on your iOS (Apple) device, Android device, or Kindle Fire, then you can access the BONUS video that demonstrates this technique.

 

6| Stickers? Really?

6.5 minutes

stickersYeah, kindergarten teachers put stickers on student papers to motivate them. But this minimalist form of “gamification” can help motivate college and university students, too. Try it! It’s cheap and easy. If it doesn’t motivate your students, at least it will make your course’s culture a bit more fun and positive, right?

8 | How Our Students Address Us

17.5 minutesprofessor teaching

A conversation with Mike Pascoe got me to thinking about different preferences we have for how we want our students to address us. Professor? Mr. or Ms.? Doctor? or just Kevin. As long as they don’t call me late for dinner, eh?

There’s more to this question than meats the eye (and ear)!

  • Some different takes on this:
    • Do You Make Them Call You ‘Professor’? | Why I began to rethink my views on classroom decorum (opinion article) my-ap.us/2WQFYue
    • Doctor, Professor or ‘Hey, You’? (opinon article)my-ap.us/2WMBFQD
  • Weigh in now (while it’s still up) on Twitter: What do you prefer that your students call you?
