  • A couple weeks ago, I started spring semester. So today, I'm sharing my first day of class including how I keep my classes organized, my first day routine, nerves, what I do 1 hour before class, what I do 5 minutes before class, and my discussion activity for one of my classes.

    I want to teach at the college level one day I noticed most colleges only require a masters in that specific field. I would be changing careers, so do you think if I have the masters to meet the qualifications that will be enough to possibly get hired or will it probably hinder me that I’ve never been a college teacher before ? I’ve only been a substitute teacher, and a pre-K teacher

    • @theacademicsociety
      @theacademicsociety  Před 9 měsíci

      Different fields require different levels of education for college instruction. It's typical that a master's or phd is required to teach in higher education. However, things may be slightly different in an education department. I could forsee experience being valued in that field. You'll have to talk with someone in the area you are looking to teach in

How do you gain confidence to go about filming at work? I think that will be my biggest challenge going forward.

      That's a tricky one! I'm almost never filming when others are around! Lol! But when I have people get super excited about possibly being on my CZcams channel and are happy to help out. But I love that you are going to start a channel! I say go for it!

    Can you answer a question for me if someone in 7th grade doesn't do three months of their homework and did not attend zoom for 3 months, but they do well for the rest of the 7th-grade year and 8th grade and get a high GPA high SAT score, and ACT score and does well in high school does that mean they can get into NYU or other good colleges even though in 7th grade they didn't do three months of their homework and did not attend zoom for 3 months (asking for my brother)

    • @theacademicsociety
      @theacademicsociety  Před 3 lety

      In my experience, once you get to the next level, you previous achievements aren't as relevant. So when you are applying for college, you only send in your high school transcripts. When you are applying for grad school, you only send in your college transcripts, and when you are applying for jobs in academia, you only send in your grad school transcripts. So, I would say that your 7th grade GPA won't be looked at when applying for college. However, the study skills and work ethic you have grows from elementary and middle school. So it's important to start good study/school habits now. Hope that helps!

      In my experience, the field that you get your PhD in is what you would teach in. But I'm sure it depends on the field.

    On the first day of class, do you ask students to do introductions and state fun facts about themselves or anything like that? I know this can be a bit corny to do, but I was curious as to what most higher ed profs do to get to know their students on the first day of classes.

      I do a discovery learning activity that gets them to work together to determine the distance formula. The active learning technique I use is called Crowd Crumple or Snowball where I get them to toss paper around the room. The students tend to enjoy it!
