Workshop on Academic Civility - Week One: An Introduction to Academic Civilty

In week one of the spring 2012 VTLC workshop on civility, you were introduced to the concepts of civility, pedagogical considerations, and best (and worst) practices of civility in the classroom:  Given what you've read and your experiences with teaching:

• How do you define academic civility?
• What problems with incivility do you have in your classes?
• Are there ways in which this behavior extends beyond the classroom to other environments at the university?
• How can we help students understand when their behavior is interfering with their learning?
• How do you already do any of these successfully? 
• Which one(s) do you want to try to improve, and how might you do that?
