Listed by Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment

About

Turn first-week introductions into lasting connections. 
 
Week One sets the tone for everything that follows. This micro workshop helps you move beyond surface level greetings to use introductory discussions as moments for meaningful, personalized feedback. Learn how tone, curiosity, and thoughtful follow up questions can help you build trust, show presence, and make every student feel seen and valued. 

Learning Outcomes:

  • Build trust and presence from the start with intentional feedback.
  • Offer comments that acknowledge, connect, and invite conversation.
  • Apply feedback techniques (like reflective questioning or tone shifts) to strengthen rapport and community.
