Vamos al l\u00edo:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>La log\u00edstica de la asignatura tiene que estar lista y explicada el primer d\u00eda de clase. Para el alumno que no asista, que est\u00e9 disponible en el Campus Virtual (deben entender que no puedes repetir las clases). Por tanto, el primer d\u00eda de clase los estudiantes deben saber cu\u00e1les son los plazos de las actividades que tengan que entregar para que puedan organizarse y responsabilizarse de su trabajo, una competencia imprescindible de cara a su inserci\u00f3n laboral.<\/li>\n<li>Las clases me las planteo como si fuera una actriz (salvando las distancias con las actrices de verdad, of course): hay que mantener el inter\u00e9s, saber qu\u00e9 puntos son m\u00e1s complicados y enfatizar, saber qu\u00e9 puntos son m\u00e1s aburridos y complementarlos con otro tipo de material que avive el ritmo. Y actuar durante dos horas es cansado, por eso acabas molida, y por eso la voz se resiente bastante, especialmente los primeros d\u00edas de clase del semestre. El primer semestre que di clase, los jueves ten\u00eda seis horas de clase, y a\u00fan hoy no se me ha olvidado el horario: de 8:00 a 10:00, de 10:30 a 12:30 y de 12:30 a 14:30. No s\u00e9 c\u00f3mo sobreviv\u00ed ;). Si la clase es de laboratorio y tienes que ir de puesto en puesto resolviendo dudas, a todo lo anterior le a\u00f1ades los kil\u00f3metros que puedes llegar a recorrer (haz la prueba:\u00a0 ll\u00e9vate un pod\u00f3metro y ya ver\u00e1s qu\u00e9 sorpresa :))<\/li>\n<li>Las primeras semanas de clase suelen ser m\u00e1s inc\u00f3modas: ni t\u00fa conoces a los alumnos, ni ellos te conocen a ti ni saben de qu\u00e9 pie cojeas. Por si lo dudas, siempre vas a tener nervios los primeros d\u00edas de clase, por muchos a\u00f1os que lleves como docente. En mi opini\u00f3n creo que es una buena se\u00f1al: significa que no le pierdes el respeto a esta profesi\u00f3n. Hablando de nervios: los docentes tenemos pesadillas profesionales recurrentes \ud83d\ude42 Las m\u00edas son dos: que una clase se me desmadra completamente con los alumnos en plan gremlin malo :), y que tengo que llegar a un examen y por m\u00e1s que corro y corro por un pasillo nunca llego al aula. \u00bfQue estoy un poco pall\u00e1? No es descartable, pero lo he hablado con m\u00e1s gente del gremio y tambi\u00e9n les ocurre. \u00bfCasualidad :)?<\/li>\n<li>Incluso en una misma asignatura, cada grupo de alumnos que recibes es diferente tanto en nivel como en actitud e incluso en din\u00e1micas internas (grupos de amigos, mayor o menor n\u00famero de repetidores&#8230;). Observa esas din\u00e1micas, aprov\u00e9chate de las buenas (participaci\u00f3n en clase, inter\u00e9s por la asignatura&#8230;), y ataja cuanto antes las malas, sobre todo sin afectan negativamente a todo el grupo (por ejemplo, mensajes incendiarios en el foro de tutor\u00edas).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>La semana pr\u00f3xima -que ser\u00e1 la \u00faltima, lo prometo \ud83d\ude42 &#8211; hablar\u00e9 de algunas cuestiones finales.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"english\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"#spanish\">[En espa\u00f1ol]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>After the two previous entries (the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/jafma.net\/ana\/theweekendarchaeologist\/?p=884\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">introduction<\/a> and \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/jafma.net\/ana\/theweekendarchaeologist\/?p=1004\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the preparation of lectures<\/a>), today I will focus on the lecturing itself. Hey-ho, let&#8217;s go:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The logistics of the course should be ready and explained in the first day of class. For those students that cannot attend, it should be available in the web platform of the course (they must understand that you cannot repeat the class again). Therefore, in that first day of class your students should know the deadlines of the deliverables you ask, so they can organize their work and take full responsability of it, which is an essential skill in order to enroll the job market.<\/li>\n<li>For me, teaching is like being an actress (well, sort of, being a real actress is a gift): you have to keep the interest of the class, know which are the most complicated points of the lecture and emphasize them, and which are the most boring parts and combine them with other type of materials that cheer up the pace of the lecture. And acting during two hours is exhausting, that&#8217;s why you finish the lecture overtired and your voice suffers a lot, especially in the first days of the semester. I had six lecture hours every Thursday in my first semester as a teacher, and still today I recall it: from 8:00 to 10:00, then from 10:30 to 12:00 and from 12:00 to 14:00. I do not understand now how I made it \ud83d\ude09 In lab sessions you have to move from computer to computer answering doubts, so to all the above you have to add the kilometers you may travel (just\u00a0take a pedometer to the lab sessions and you will see :))<\/li>\n<li>The first weeks of the semester are awkward: you still do not know your students, and they do not know you either (your teaching style, your sense of humor&#8230;). No matter how many years you have been teaching, you always will be nervous in the first days of each semester. In my opinion that is a good thing: it means that you do not lose respect for the teaching craft. Speaking of nerves: teachers usually have recurrent professional nightmares \ud83d\ude42 I have two: the first one is that my class goes completely out of control and the students behave like the evil gremlins \ud83d\ude42 , and the other one is that I have to attend an exam but I run and I run and never reach the exam room. Maybe I have gone completely bananas (we cannot discard that possibility), but I have discussed this with other colleagues and they also experience it. Just a coincidence \ud83d\ude42 ?<\/li>\n<li>Each group of students you teach is completely unique: they differ in their skills levels, attitude and even in their internal dynamics (groups of friends, more or less number of repeater students&#8230;). You should watch those dynamics, take advantage of the good ones (participation in the class, interest in the subject&#8230;) and cut from the very beginning the negative ones, especially if affect to the whole class (for example, flames in the class forum).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Next week -it will be the last in the series, I promise \ud83d\ude42 &#8211; I will talk about some final considerations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[In English] Tras las dos entradas anteriores (la introducci\u00f3n y la preparaci\u00f3n de las clases), hoy me voy a centrar en la impartici\u00f3n de las clases en s\u00ed.
