Student curated playlist for work time. Am I trying too hard?
I teach a couple introductory, 100-level college courses. Towards the end of the semester I make sure to build in work time for our final project, etc. since I know how busy everyone is.
I've toyed with the idea of playing music while students work on their final project for my class (I realize I'm biased, but realistically our final project really isn't hard) and thought it might be fun to let students anonymously curate the playlist. For students who don't want to partake, they can put their ear buds/head phones on.
As a college student, would you like this? Or would you find it annoying and or distracting? I also don't want to alienate the students who prefer silence when working. Help me, please.
