Three formats for holding reviews/critique: 

Small group reviews (suggested)

• groups of 6 or less
  • create breakout rooms on zoom
    • students can “raise hand” while in breakout rooms
    • professor can go from room to room
  • a channel on slack  can be used alongside breakout rooms, as the breakout chat rooms on zoom have limited functionality
  • faculty member can bounce from room to room, announced or unannounced

Large group reviews

Consider only meeting around three times as a whole group. Calls with that many people can be technically challenging and raise accessibility concerns. Spread these large meetings throughout the semester

1:1 reviews/checkins

• you can ask students via chat or polling if they want to meet 1:1
• helpful to meet around midterms and submit a midterm grade
• quick hallway conversations now become 10 – 15 min zoom calls
