<\/a>this year at the cft, we\u2019re exploring the topic of negotiating student expectations about teaching and learning.\u00a0 we\u2019ve found that when students and faculty have very different expectations, a variety of challenges can result, frequently leading to frustration for both teachers and students.<\/p>\n as part of our exploration this past spring, we recruited four undergraduate students to contribute guest posts to the cft blog, sharing their perspectives on their learning experiences at vanderbilt.\u00a0 we recognize that everyone\u2019s teaching context is different, but we hope that hearing a few student perspectives on teaching and learning will help those in the teaching community at vanderbilt reflect on their own teaching.<\/p>\n the students\u2019 posts focused on expectations for grades and assessment and for freedom and responsibility:<\/p>\n this fall, we\u2019ll continue to pursue this topic, expanding our focus to include student expectations about writing and writing assignments and about appropriate and useful technology use.\u00a0 check the cft blog<\/strong><\/a> for future posts in this series. \u00a0and if you know of an undergraduate who might be interested in blogging on these topics, please contact cft assistant director derek bruff<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
