The Self and Syllabus

Christopher Richmann talks about the self and syllabus project on episode 418 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

There is growing interest in the issue of the self that we bring into the classroom.
-Christopher Richmann

We are embedded selves and we bring ourselves and all of the artifacts that go along with our teaching into the classroom and into the task of teaching.
-Christopher Richmann

Am I coming across on my syllabus? Do students meet me in my syllabus?
-Christopher Richmann

Not all knowledge can be assessed or expressed in the same way.
