Global Awareness: Establishing Expectations for the U.S. Academic Environment

Presented in the UAB Center for Teaching and Learning for UAB faculty by Melissa Hawkins, Ph.D. 

Because of cross-cultural differences in educational systems around the world, many of our international students enter a very different context when they arrive at UAB. In this workshop, learn about several of these significant differences, and explore how you can empower your students to be successful by communicating explicitly about expectations for your course, many of which we sometimes assume that students already know.
