I get a lot of the type of message I'm copying below. Sorry for including
the whole thing, but I thought it might be necessary in order for someone to
diagnose the problem. What's the nature of the problem here? Can I fix it?
Here's an example of the type of message I'm referring to:
The enclosed message, found in the TBA-L mailbox and shown under the spool
ID 9859 in the system log, has been identified as a possible delivery error
notice for the following reason: "Message/Delivery-Status" body part
found in the message body.

I'm responding first to Brian's post (below), and then moving into a new
topic:
Thanks for clarifying - you're in search of good texts dealing with
instructional procedures. I think even a little more clarification might be
in order. When I hear you say that, it makes me think about instructional
procedures that incorporate the behavioral principles that we here at TBA-L
are interested in. In other words, the application of BA principles to
instruction. Is that what you're interested in?
Well, whether that's it or not, it's something that I am very interested in.
In my view the TBA special interest group (TBA SIG) has a dual focus. We're
interested, of course, in whatever improves the learning & teaching of BA in
all it's forms. But I think we should also focus on how to apply BA
principles toward improving the learning & teaching not only of BA-type
subject matter, but anything at all.
It would be ironic if we taught BA without making use of BA-inspired
instructional methods. But I'm afraid a lot of us still do a good bit of
that, me certainly included. I'm trying to gradually evolve the courses I
teach so that more and more they become living examples of applied BA. It
takes time!
I'd be very interested in hearing about some of the very specific things our
members do in the way of BA-inspired instructional methods and techniques.
For instance, one thing I've done is change the grading scales in all my
courses to a total-points system. I used to give every assignment, test,
etc. a letter grade, average the numerical equivalents (A=4, B=3, etc.) and
then translate the final numerical average back into a letter grade. But
now I assign a maximum number of points to every graded item. There are
several ways to earn points, including traditional things like quizzes and
article reviews. The final grade depends on the number of points
accumulated. Ideally students keep track of their own totals, but I'm
always looking for better ways to help them stay informed and up-to-the
minute on their point totals. There seem to be a number of advantages to
this approach, which I'll be glad to discuss further if there's interest.
What are some other things you folks do, in the way of grading systems but
also anything else that involves applying BA principles in teaching?
Pat

Subject: Re: Methodologies
Pat,
Thanks for asking. Yes, I am interested in texts that cover different
instructional procedures. And I agree, the book by Cooper et al. is a great
book, but I am thinking of something else. I may end up using articles as
directed readings. There are some very nice anthologies of JABA articles I
may consider. If there are other suggestions, I would love to hear them.
Thanks for your consideration.
Warm regards,
Brian
