medieval approach posted january 4 2015 in pedagogy tags aha2015 american historical association argumentation digital humanities evaluating digital humanities projects logic pedagogy rehtoric sotl 1 i was asked yesterday how i would evaluate students digital projects and today i just came from aha2015 s195 where a lot of the discussion centered on the challenges of having your work evaluated for promotion regarding the question of evaluating student work i was quite prepared to be asked that but probably didn t answer it as fluently as i might have because to my mind this question which everyone asks gets it backwards essentially i regard the appearance of a digital project in a similar fashion to the cover and contents of a book it might look interesting and well done but i can t tell from a quick glance whether it is logically and analytically rigorous i need to dive in look at the structure understand the argument examine where the choices were made and assess how it has been received at large in other words i m more concerned with logic and argumentation than with the way in which a particular work is packaged or presented perhaps it s due to my training in debate and then going on to medieval studies but i want to see how you re reasoning and arguing in the middle ages the humanities as such didn t exist history and literature weren t courses and the social sciences hadn t been invented instead you learned the mechanics process and metaphysics of reasoning which you then applied to politics history theology philosophy etc at the same time foregrounding argument and debate is also a touch democratic since audience always matters you stand or fall by your ability to convince and anything that promotes democratic habits of mind is a plus in my opinion so asking how i would evaluate a digital project versus a typed paper while a necessary question given the improving reception of dh in academia just doesn t make sense in my way of approaching the problem the biggest challenge to my mind isn t whether i have a grasp of genre it s awakening my students minds to the excitement and challenge of reasoning from concept to data and back to concept another way of putting it is that my criteria for a successful project do not derive from the discipline of the project itself mills kelly just said more or less in essence the same thing in s195 which suggests to me that i m on the right track it s not about content and discipline per se it s about showing me and even better your wider audience how you re using your intellect it might be a semi medieval approach but that s my two cents for what it s worth share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook more email a link to a friend opens in new

well twelve questions really but the if you have a classroom with sliding chalkboards as i did you can hide the last two until you re ready to reveal them currently taking a break at aha2015 and decided to take advantage of some down time to get this post out this was probably my favorite and most successful lesson from hi301 this past semester we devote eight lessons to napoleon and the wars of the french revolution and despite what you might think most students know little about napoleon beyond the dubious facts that he was a short french dude as any aficionado knows he wasn t short and he wasn t really french thus the sheer volume of battles and wars is like polar bear swimming and even the best students can have difficulty navigating things it is at this moment that the approach of the individual instructor becomes extremely important either you structure classes such that students can work their way to the big picture and big ideas or you fall back on minutiae such as where each corps commander was in a given battle well except davout always know where davout was even in 1813 but i digress anyway this particular lesson came just over half way through the napoleon block and my goal was two fold first guide my students through a socratic chain of reasoning building the next question on the preceding question so that they can work through a complex sweeping argument second and this was the big reveal at the end of class to help them understand in some measure why clausewitz felt that he had to begin with that most basic question what is war so here are the questions that they had to work through 1 what is the point 2 what does victory look like 3 who is the enemy 4 can you defeat the enemy hold that thought for a moment 5 how could you defeat the enemy 6 are these ways of defeating the enemy sustainable 7 can you break the enemy s will to resist 8 now can you defeat the enemy 9 if you can t then why are you using military force 10 are failures in war failures of policy strategy or operations and then the two bonus questions 11 or are they due to the nature of war 12 what is war to break these down somewhat read the rest of this entry share
