En esta entrada me voy a centrar en la preparaci\u00f3n de las clases y la planificaci\u00f3n de las mismas. Ah\u00ed voy:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Las clases hay que prepararlas siempre, aunque lleves a\u00f1os dando la asignatura. Algunas son particularmente complicadas y debes llevar claros los conceptos, o buscar mejores formas de explicarlos. Otras podr\u00e1s prepararlas con un simple repasillo, pero tambi\u00e9n hay que hacerlo. Y esto incluye tambi\u00e9n a las pr\u00e1cticas. En resumen: <em>never wing it<\/em> (o, bueno, por lo menos a m\u00ed no me sale \ud83d\ude42 ).<\/li>\n<li>Tanto las pr\u00e1cticas como los ex\u00e1menes yo los resuelvo previamente:\n<ul>\n<li>Improvisar las pr\u00e1cticas puede dar pie a que cuando llegues al laboratorio algo no funcione, y no siempre se puede resolver sobre la marcha (incluso prepar\u00e1ndolas con calma, Murphy es un profesional y algo fallar\u00e1 con probabilidad pr\u00f3xima a 1). Si hay alg\u00fan cambio de hardware o software entre cursos, es conveniente volver a repetir las pr\u00e1cticas por si ese cambio afectara a la soluci\u00f3n que ya ten\u00edas (que le afectar\u00e1 \ud83d\ude09 ).<\/li>\n<li>No resolver el examen (sea de problemas o tipo test) antes de pon\u00e9rselo a los alumnos puede tener dos salidas chungas posibles: que haya un error que impida que los alumnos puedan resolver el examen, o que te haya quedado un examen m\u00e1s largo de la cuenta. Yo procuro, aparte de cronometrarme para ver cu\u00e1nto me lleva resolver el examen, resolverlo y dejarlo reposar un par de d\u00edas antes de volverlo a hacer, por si se me hubiera despistado algo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Aunque no la hagas p\u00fablica por si hay cambios de \u00faltima hora que se te puedan ocurrir, ten una planificaci\u00f3n detallada de la asignatura d\u00eda a d\u00eda, y actual\u00edzala cada cuatrimestre. Es decir, el primer a\u00f1o haces la planificaci\u00f3n estimada para cada d\u00eda de clase, y al terminar cada clase, anotas hasta d\u00f3nde has cubierto de tu planificaci\u00f3n estimada para ese d\u00eda: si te falt\u00f3 o sobr\u00f3 tiempo, si hubo alguna incidencia (por ejemplo, que pasen las encuestas de satisfacci\u00f3n del alumnado, que siempre se lleva tiempo&#8230;) En a\u00f1os sucesivos usas las anotaciones del curso anterior como referencia, y a\u00f1ades las nuevas modificaciones. Como se ve en la foto al final del post, yo lo hago en papel (soy una inform\u00e1tica ludita \ud83d\ude42 ): a partir del calendario de Google me imprimo los meses del semestre, marco todos los d\u00edas festivos, y para cada d\u00eda de clase divido el espacio asignado en dos: arriba copio las anotaciones del a\u00f1o anterior, y abajo a\u00f1ado las nuevas anotaciones del curso.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>El pr\u00f3ximo d\u00eda hablaremos sobre las clases en s\u00ed.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"english\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"#spanish\">[En espa\u00f1ol]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/jafma.net\/ana\/theweekendarchaeologist\/?p=884\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous post<\/a> was the introduction to this series of posts,\u00a0 and I also commented a couple of ideas about the amount of materials you have to prepare for a class and how to use slides. This post deals with the preparation of the lessons and the planification of a course . Here I go:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Always prepare your lessons, even if you have been teaching the course for years. Some lessons are particularly complicated and you need a full understanding of the main concepts, or maybe you could try new ways of explaining those ideas. Other lessons just need a brief recap, but you also have to do that. And this also applies to lab exercises. To sum up: never wing it (or, well, it&#8217;s not you, it&#8217;s me: I can&#8217;t wing it \ud83d\ude42 )<\/li>\n<li>I always solve \u00a0the lab exercises and the exams before passing them to the students:\n<ul>\n<li>Not preparing the lab exercises may lead to things not working when you finally have the lab session, and you cannot always solve the problem on the fly (even with a thorough preparation, do not forget that Murphy is a pro and something will fail with probability close to 1).\u00a0If there is some change on the software or the hardware between academic years, it is a good idea to repeat the lab exercises again, just to check if the change has an effect on your solved exercises (of course, it will have an effect \ud83d\ude09 ).<\/li>\n<li>If you do not solve the exam before (either quiz or problem based), there are two possible unpleasant outcomes: that a mistake in the exam prevents the students from solving it, or that the exam takes more time than it should be desirable. Apart from measuring the time it takes me to solve the exam, I leave it &#8220;sleeping&#8221; for a few days and then solve it again, as a double check.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Although you do not make it public because you may want to do some last minute changes, you should keep a day to day planning of your course, that will be updated each term. That is, the first year you teach a course you prepare an estimated planning for each day of class; at the end of every class, you jot down if you have fulfilled your estimation for that day: maybe you run short of time for your explanations, or if there was some kind of time consuming incidence (for example, that the official satisfaction surveys for that year are passed in your class). In the following years use those annotations of the previous year as a reference, and add the new modifications. As you can see in the picture, my schedule is paper based (I am a luddite computer scientist\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42 ): I print a Google calender of the months of the semester, mark all the holidays, and for each day of class I divide every box into two: I copy my notes from the previous years above, and after each class I write down the new incidences below.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Next day we will talk about lectures.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/DV2a481WkAA17IT.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[In English] La entrada anterior la dediqu\u00e9 a presentar esta serie de posts y a comentar un par de ideas sobre la cantidad de materiales que hay que tener preparados y el uso de transparencias.
