| During the Spring 2020 semester, I audited Ali Miller’s Intro to Stats course. She kicked off the first day with an activity she called “Being Human Together.” She introduced herself through a series of fun facts and then invited her students to do the same through an in-class survey. One of the questions asked for their “favorite musical artist.” Ali used these responses to create playlists, which she played throughout the semester as students entered the classroom or during lab sessions. This simple yet thoughtful approach not only helped her connect with her students but also fostered a sense of community and belonging through shared musical interests. |
