About the Workshop
Students talking while the professor is lecturing, disrupting class work with inappropriate behavior, eatiing up teaching/learning time while they argue with the teacher, or challenging information or demanding additional class-time attention: these are the students that can make our roles as teachers frustrating and anxiety-ridden. How can we structure our classes and our relationship to our students to prevent such episodes? If they do occur, how can we best deal with them? Location: Folger Time: 9:00 a.m.- noon. Breakfast and lunch provided.
