Save me from my class! Case Scenario: Hassan is a new professor at the college. He is originally from the Middle East and just finished his PhD at an American university. He is teaching a 2nd year diploma course. He started his first two-hour class with a long description of his degree and research. He then gave a 1 hour lecture on the theory related to his field. Next, he told the students to get in groups and talk about this for 20 minutes but most have taken off for coffee or maybe even left as they took their bags. Questions: What do you think Hassan is most concerned about? What do you think led to the students' disengagement? What pre-verbal, non-verbal, verbal, and post-verbal mismatches will likely occur throughout this encounter? Did either party reach the desired outcome for themselves?
