Event Information

Lisa Dysleski, Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Programs

This is the first in a semester-long series that is part of the Student Experience Project, a collaborative project whose mission is to transform the college student experience by creating equitable learning environments through innovative, evidence-based practices. Research indicates that students’ classroom experiences and academic outcomes improve when they feel that the instructor believes they are capable of learning new things. Students who feel supported and connected to a community of learners are more likely to stay academically engaged and utilize resources provided to them by the institution. In this session, we will focus on the STEM course syllabus, a powerful tool that every faculty member has to communicate with students, and how small changes in wording can ensure that messages, policies, and practices demonstrate the faculty member’s constructive beliefs about students’ abilities.
