Thinking Day
Thursday, June 21st, 2007I found this quote interesting:
In grad school my department chair (a man from South Carolina, no less)told us of a classroom experiment he conducted for a semester in which he called on women and men in exactly equal proportions. Despite the fact that he did this by taking turns (calling alternately on men and women), the male students complained in the course evaluations that he called on women “all the time” and clearly favored women.
I’ve often wondered what would happen in a classroom if I did the same thing.
What are your thoughts?
