Title of TalkStudent vs. Instructor Expectations: Can we bridge the gap?
AbstractStudents and instructors often come into a course with expectations that don’t necessarily agree. These different sets of expectations can impact the learning environment in a negative way for students, as well as instructors. One way to bridge the gap between these multiple sets of expectations is to openly communicate with students about the variety of expectations, including giving students opportunities to voice their own expectations. Narrowing the gap between student and instructor expectations can lead to increased student engagement and a more positive learning environment.
