2008 Teaching and Learning Colloquium
Stephon Davis Interview
Narrator: Stephon Davis, a senior in the College of Natural Sciences,
shares characteristics of the student-teacher relationship that he enjoys
in large classes.
Davis: I’ve had some instructors that actually tried to encourage going to office hours. They actually try to encourage you to come and meet them, because they know that it’s impossible for them to meet all the students on their own. I think they push more that the students need to make the effort to come see them. I like the teachers that aren’t stand-offish, like they actually try to get you to come in, and they’ll give you extra office hours, and they’ll send you e-mails and tell you, “Hey, come meet me!” or “I notice that you were doing bad,” because some students were scared to go to the teachers, especially when they start failing.
Narrator: Be sure to attend the 2008 Teaching and Learning Colloquium on January 8 and 9 at the AVAYA auditorium.
