SELF EVALUATION
Below is my initial reflection of the briefing:
Unit Briefing – Personal Evaluation
Overall, I feel the lesson ran smoothly and went according to plan.
What went well?
The poster has been great as a visual aid. This was introduced to the students before the winter break along with the trend forecast that was set over the winter break to help kickstart the unit. All students presented their trends after the briefing and seemed happy with the briefing and comfortable getting started. As we move back to most of our teaching happening onsite – it was good having this session as one of our online sessions so that we could record the briefing for students to watch/re-watch later. Having the recording also means that I am able to add subtitles to further help students.
What could have been improved?
Issue(s):
I don’t feel there were any major issues with the delivery of the briefing. It is always a lot of information that can seem quite daunting. It was good splitting the brief up into three sections so the initial briefing could just focus on part A rather than totally swamping the student with new information.
I know my pace of delivery is always quite fast and can be quite difficult for students to follow – especially those who English isn’t a first language for.
Solution(s):
1. Slowing down my pace of delivery so student can absorb the information I am giving more clearly.
2. It may have been a good idea to have given the students the brief to read through an hour ahead of class a flipped learning.
What next for the students?
The students will now read the brief in their own time before re-grouping 2 days later in class to ask further question and to get started on the unit. They have received some feedback on their winter break trend work to get them kick started on the brief.
Other things to consider next time I deliver this lecture?
Maybe stopping halfway through to do an interactive activity.
Perhaps at the end the students could be set a mini task that introduces them to the subject – retailer range plan research for example? We could then return to the brief using this investigation to help put the information into context.
Things that could help to improve the overall lesson delivery?
To encourage student to ask questions (which there were not many of at the end of the briefing). Perhaps we could set up a padlet where each student has to read the brief then post a question or perhaps even and idea or something they hope to be / wish to be covered within the unit?
