How do you deal with your students giving up, getting demotivated or stuck and not asking for help?

I know it's partially an anxiety thing but I'm not sure how to get around it.

extra: if possible, how do you get around this in a static, text environment?

#education #teaching #tutoring

does anyone know about a software that one can write examinations in, that is specifically for testing students programming knowledge/practice? also i want to be able to write the tests, so premade tests aren't what i'm looking for

the thing is i want to give my students a test, and have automated grading, and would be glad if the software wasn't just for basic tests but could also evaluate and test the output of code.

thank you :)

And on that note, does anyone have codes of conduct or anti-harassment policies they particularly like? We'll be doing our own thing, but input (particularly regarding what you've found works well or poorly) would be much appreciated!

(Boost if you like, I suppose? More input is good.)

Stuff like navigating Mastodon with keyboard only is missing, simply because I don't know much about it. I hope someone else will add that, and more :)

Hi everyone, since the same issues come up again and again and are keeping people from using this site, I started a wiki page on Mastodon #accessibility stuff!

Please go and improve it, and share it with anyone who might need it!

https://en.mstdn.wiki/Accessibility

It is supposed to help use Mastodon right now, by explaining useful features that Mastodon already has and showing workarounds for features it lacks. It's not meant to imply that improvements to Mastodon itself can't or shouldn't be made

Please boost widely: Call for Proposals, "After Social Media: Alternatives, New Beginnings, and Socialized Media." It's a call for research/essays on alternative social media, including Mastodon, of course. http://robertwgehl.org/blog.php#2017-11-06_12:56

I just got off the phone with Natalie's mom. With the help of a Vietnamese speaking friend of a friend, I learned that she intends to bury Natalie under Natalie's chosen name.

Nerdy trans-peeps in the Seattle area, I'm starting a meetup! Meet people in meetspace! Talk about anime! I'll probably talk about Haskell! Who knows what could happen!!!

And if that isn't a good enough argument, check out this cool logo that is backed by an svg!

Dank @maunzikation's Unterstützung bin ich nun auch auf #MasterDom.
Hooray!
Wird aber noch dauern bis ich mich hier eingelebt habe oder auch nur die Pipeline zu meinem Twitterprofil (https://twitter.com/schokopflaster) gelegt habe ^^;.
