In this interactive session, Josh Compton will share what some of the latest research tells us about the listening habits of audiences, including how, when, and why people listen, and the effects audience responses have on the speech experience. How can we better prepare students to listen well when they are audiences for their classmates? How can we help student speakers to better respond to their classroom audiences? Can a good dialogic experience between speaker and audience lead to better dialogues in classroom discussions, peer review sessions, and beyond--and if so, how can we help to foster this? Sponsored by the Institute for Writing and Rhetoric. Register for this session: http://libcal.dartmouth.edu/event.php?id=799954
Experiential Learning, 12:00pm - 2:00pm, Thursday, October 23, 2014
President Hanlon has included experiential learning as a pillar in his academic vision for Dartmouth. What does experiential learning mean? What does it look like in classes and programs at Dartmouth? In this session we will explore a little bit of theory, and then hear from faculty and students who have engaged in experiential learning at Dartmouth.
