The LTC student fellows are one of the LTC’s hidden assets. For 2016-2017, the three student fellows are Jocelene Caballero ’17 (Psychology/Educational Studies), Caleb Rakestraw-Morn ’17 (Philosophy), and Issa Wilson ’18 (Studio Art). This fall the fellows facilitated a book group on Sherry Turkle’s Reclaiming Conversation in addition to working with faculty through the student observer program.
The most common way faculty engage the student observer program is to have a LTC fellow sit in on single class or a series of classes and observe particular aspects of the class, but LTC fellows can be valuable partners in other ways. For example, if paper course evaluations aren’t able to get at the nuances of what you would like to learn from your students, you might consider inviting a LTC fellow to host a midterm or end-of-term conversation with your students to collect anonymous feedback to be shared with you.
