With their permission anonymously at the end of the semester, I sent students. You could leave feedback, you know, like a sentence or two about your peer and whatYour review is of their contribution. And every single student wrote something about everyone else. Like they took the time to say something meaningful about each of their peers and their groups. They said such beautiful things about their peers that with their permission anonymously, I shared the positive feedback with each student.
Cathy Davidson + Christina Katopodis talk about their new book, The New College Classroom, on episode 433 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
