Description
As our faculty debated moving to a pass/no pass model this spring I was struck with the discussion that took place equating "compassion" with pass/no pass and the sheer acceptance by a majority of faculty who decided moving online meant that they were giving up the "rigor" of their teaching and therefore the only choice was to go pass/no pass. On the other hand, our writing department held firm on our objectives, standards and expectations and felt strongly that compassion and rigor can exist in the same space. I would hope to facilitate a discussion surrounding "rigor," "compassion," and teaching/modeling "resilience" for a post-pandemic legal community. I also hope to demonstrate a remote clicker item for the participants.
