Have you ever wondered what happens to all of the written feedback you give to your students? Do they read it? Does it help? In the fall of 2016, with support from the Teaching Innovation Fund, Alena Papayanis (LAS) set out to investigate this situation, to see whether a new assignment and feedback structure would improve writing quality and reduce procrastination. What did she discover? Join us on Friday, June 16 from 11:40 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. to find out!

Register online for Fri., June 16, 2017, North: D236, 11:40 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

You are invited to a discussion of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain.

Does society undervalue introverts? Does our education system implicitly reward the “Extrovert Ideal”? Do we consider introverts when we design our lessons? Join us as we eat, chat, and examine the personal and professional implications of this fascinating book. 

Participants are kindly asked to read the book before attending the discussion session.
