Lesson Plan 6: Feedback and Coaching Sessions for the Purple Cow Dream

Feedback Sessions

In this lesson, i use office hours and class time to provide individual feedback on the written purple cow proposals, emphasizing two questions:

1) What about your project is a genuine purple cow?

and

2) Are the specific activities proposed within the 4 week flow chart behaviorally specific enough that you could provide evidence of completing these activities at the end of the 4 weeks.

Coaching Sessions

After the individual feedback, students will begin working on the piece of their purple cow dream for 4 weeks.

I will be available to consult with them during regularly scheduled class time via signing up for a "coaching session" on the course wiki which list dates and times to meet.

Students are asked to type in their name and what they would like to discuss. This later feature of "what to discuss" is potentially important for clustering students under common areas of interest. For example, if three students need assistance in creating their surveys, i could do a mini-lecture on "survey construction" for all three of the students at the same time. Or, if students have individual issues to discuss, i can meet with them one-on-one.
