material in accordance with a time schedule.Teaching ResponsivelyBeing a responsive teacher is part and parcel of being a caring faculty member. To teachresponsively, one needs to examine how students experience their learning. It is importantto know what significance students ascribe to faculty’s actions, views, and concerns. Forthe students, faculty’s choice of exercises, materials, assignments, etc.may not always becompatible with faculty’s intention. Therefore, methods, content, connectedness, andgoals may have to change to become more compatible with the ways these are perceivedby students. Which knowledge and skills to explore next and how best to examine these,are decisions made in the midst of the teaching activity itself, rather than

Thispaper explores the territory between student personal issues that faculty worry about havingto address and curriculum matters dealing with course selections and prerequisites. Effectivestudent advising demands that the entire range of issues be addressed, yet faculty are hesitant.Faculty can and should shoulder only a part of the burden but could benefit from viewing theadvisor-student relationship as an opportunity to help the student acquire life skills.What the authors have found to be true to a great extent is that a major need of students is tosimply talk, to talk to someone who cares.

A departmentalleader at Tech (himself an older faculty member) said, “a lot of our older faculty can't seem toaccept [the shift in admissions away from white, U.S. born students from strong high schools].”He accepted the changing admissions profile, but felt the institution should providecompensatory training. At every institution, some of the senior people expressed the view that anadministrative decision to change the incoming students was fundamentally mistaken, andtherefore held that faculty have no duty to participate in finding a way to make it work.
