![TRIZ activity: “Worst. Class. Ever.”
• Let’s make a list of all the ways we can imagine to make students unengaged. If
we were trying to make an online class as awful as possible for them, what
might we do?
• Go down this list item by item and ask, “Do I see any of these things happening
in my class[es] now?” Make a “troubleshooting” list for yourself — and be
brutally honest!
• Go through the items on your troubleshooting list and decide what first steps
will help you stop undesirable results.
