I hope my students pay attention. I hope this prof is an easy grader. Deeper concern: Scholarship A job Deep concern: Course evaluation Activity 2 8 minutes Hopes and fears can reflect deep concerns and highlight potential risks and shared ideas of success. Identify five hopes and fears that faculty face. Identify five hopes and fears that your students face. When done, share out at your tables.

Activity 3 20 minutes A few guides: - Map should be high- to medium- altitude - Map must contain at least three phases (e.g. early college, middle, late) - Pinpoint at least 3 hopes and fears on the map - How might you address each of these hopes and fears that you identified? We’ll ask you to share out at the end. As a group, map the student experiences in a sample curriculum.
