response to feedback from “Dr. Jacobson” (see second anecdote below), we spent almost anentire meeting debating over whether or not to describe the upper-level administrator’s watch as:a) “flashy”, which was Michael’s original, immediate observation and visceral reaction, b) “whatlooks like an expensive watch”, or c) to simply leave this part of the story out altogether. Thosein favor of option “a” felt that it was important to highlight the difference between Michael’sprior life experiences and the level of privilege that such watches represent to him. At the sametime, we all agreed that the use of the word “flashy” served to set the anecdotes as immediatereactions captured in Michael’s natural voice apart from the other more formally written

confronted him on the issue. He asked me my major, and informed me that was also his background and proceeded to say this: “This may be the first B you’re going to make in a course, but it most certainly won’t be your last.” Similar to the suggestions for educators who would like to support students as it relates to their isolating experiences, in order to address the lack of support educators can take a genuine interest in the success of their students. By developing meaningful relationships that focus on the student's’ priorities and providing advice and support that can advance their goals, educators have the opportunity to provide encouragement at critical points. An emotionally safe experience in classrooms and on campus as it

But, with tropical diseases held in check new frontiers would be open in Asia, in Africa, in SA, and agriculture would become unprofitable in the OLD World; new and tremendous problems would arise.20But close analysis of such concerns regarding technical enterprise are almost always developedand shared outside of engineering disciplines themselves, or compartmentalized withinengineering as humanistic or policy aspects of technical work, rather than as

(desire to eliminate incongruity). Curiosity (motivated behavior) leads to improved understanding (learning), if the incongruity in humor message is relevant to what is to be learned.From a theoretical perspective, then, the successful use of humor depends on (a) the humormessage capturing the attention of the learner and being relevant and appropriate, and (b) thelearner resolving the incongruity in the humor message. Empirical research into the instructionalvalue of humor, however, has yielded inconsistent results, largely because learning is anemergent property that results from the interaction of the many factors at work in any classroom.Some of these are under the instructor’s control, but many are not.
