Last week (in episode 18), we checked in with students to see how they are doing five weeks into the fall 2020 semester, and we received a lot of feedback. For this episode, as we the fifth week ends, we checked in with a faculty member’s perspective on how to keep up the great work or improve your learning experience (and grades) for the remainder of the semester.
Our special guest for this episode is Dr. Khadijah Miller, a professor of in the department of History & Interdisciplinary Studies, a senior faculty fellow for the Honors College and a former department chair. Dr. Miller shares her take on the tips and tools for this time of the academic year.
NOTE: Special thanks to Dr. Miller for being our guest on the six month anniversary of the podcast!
