Instructor Involvement on Discussions
In my classes we have about 12 main discussion topics throughout the course. I have found it difficult to ensure that I'm responding to each student at least once (but usually much much more) throughout the course. With my roster being 30+ students it can be hard to respond to each student for all 12 questions. The only method I have discovered so far is making sure there aren't any students with zero responses and zoning in on them first, and keeping an excel sheet of who I have responded to which can become time consuming. However, without it, I feel like I will respond to the same students each week because there will be some students that will be first to answer or will answer with more detail etc. Has anyone come up with a better plan for ensuring all of your students get the same amount of attention during discussions?
