It's supposed to be a "Graphical Syllabus," but every time I say it in my head it's a "Graphical Abstract."
If science articles can have graphical abstracts, why not a science course? #GraphicalSyllabus #AcademicTwitter
ALT Graphical Abstract of BIO112-102 General Biology 2. Includes sections with general information (instructor contact, class meeting times), a table showing multiple grading schemes and how the final grade is calculated, four boxes with brief information about four main assignments, a circle labeled "Lab" with 4 connecting circles that each have a brief description of an activity that will occur in lab, a section called "Other Policies" that includes information about the textbook and how late work is handled, and a linear timeline that includes important dates and outlines the major units of the course.

This is a completely free, month-long, online course hosted by @UMich, created by @UMichiganAI, and part of our growing @UMichOnline portfolio. This has really been a labor of love and I hope people learn a lot about the world of esports.

Recently I've been able to really combine my passion for gaming and love for education into this free online course. The Esports: Leveling Up Teach-Out launched last week and I couldn't be more proud of what we were able to accomplish. #esports

I finished grading student papers on Wednesday. They have to rewrite them by Dec. I've already got a rewrite turned in. Why? Gameful learning; they want points & their teams want to win their next competition. Thank you @chchayward @gradecraft You've changed how I teach forever.
