This badge is from my ENG 220 course. It’s a good example of my unique approach to course content delivery. I’ve always struggled with relying on and/or using textbooks to cover general course content. Chalk it up to my neurodivergence and anti-authoritarian tendencies, but I like to do things my way. And my way is complicated, winding, irreverent and (I hope) funny. I inject my personality into everything I do, and I have found that students usually respond positively—both because it makes my passion and commitment tangible, and it fosters trust.

This lesson on gender conscious criticism anchors a major course Module, so it covers a lot of ground. While this one does not feature video lecture content, it does make use of multimedia.

Additionally, most of my badge lessons have accompanying tasks designed to reinforce content acquisition. At the end of the badge, I link Google Doc templates with directions. Students are asked to make copies of the templates, share them with me, and then provide the share link in the final question window. Click to view the tasks for this badge: Badge #3: Gender Tasks
