Feelings from the Back Row: Negotiating Sensitive Issues in Large Classes.
Brooke, Corly Petersen
New Directions for Teaching and Learning, n77 p23-33 Spr 1999
A college teacher can anticipate discomfort when topics such as human sexuality are in the course syllabus and can take creative steps to promote open and civil discourse. One teacher's experiences have resulted in incorporation of a sensitive-issues statement in the course syllabus, advance preparation for special events and visitors, and techniques for assessing student needs and facilitating open conversation.
