Neda, your post was great. It reminded me of this TED talk and I encourage you to watch it ( if you haven’t already)

I can’t agree with you more that running to the different areas of the world where there seem to be problems to solve without taking the time and trying to know the culture and people who live there can create more problems rather than solving any of the existing ones. The example that you talked about was a great example. Thank you for sharing it!

Thank you for your post! I really enjoyed reading it and I appreciated how you are thinking about what gaps currently exist in your discipline and ways to incorporate these ideas into to help students improve their practice.

Thanks for your post! I really appreciated your example of online teaching at the University of Nebraska. I think this reflection on our experiences after can be so important and beneficial. In this reflection, we often have more dots that can help us see an experience in a new light.

I loved this post and the final assignment sounds awesome! Having a wide-open assignment sounds super amazing and it is always amazing to me when students would prefer to do an assignment that is so rigid and structured. The point about making the reasoning behind the assignment more explicit really resonated with me. There still might be some push-back from students but I think that open and honest conversation is so important.

I really enjoyed reading your post and I definitely had a similar view of professors and teachers throughout my education. I really appreciated the end of your blog post where you highlight that we can all learn from each other. That is such an important point to keep in mind! Thanks for the post!
