Reading Assignment for Tuesday, May 2
Topic: Student diversity
Elliott Aronson: "The power of self-persuasion," American Psychologist, November, 1999.
McKeachie, Chapter 20, Taking student social diversity into account.
Dr. Angela Ginorio will lead a discussion on May 2 on taking diversity
into consideration in the classroom.
Please read the entire Aronson article in preparation for the class,
but focus your reflection comments on pages 879ff of that article
(You will need to read the beginning part of the paper to follow
the discussion at the end). Your reflections should of course also
include the McKeachie chapter discussion.
