Hey!! So my psych class that met yesterday was very difficult- the prof made us talk to the ppl sitting by us and then we had to introduce them which is fine but I wanted to say it as fast as possible...

I’m the same way, and have been since high school. First day of class today, first one went well. Was so happy prof was chill and laid back and just covered the syllabus and cracked jokes. Second one ...

When working with my students I slow down my speaking with pauses. I purposely make the pauses in my sentences a bit longer. This is good for my fluency but also it’s good for the students who have tr...

I teach in Supply chain, project management and data analytics, so I am no expert in philosophy, per se. However, there are probably a ton you could do, especially if you get creative and remember the...
