Lesson(s) on teaching you learned:
Professor Ciappetta started the class by reminding the students of what they did in the class before. In the last class, they watch a Tedtalk video on John Legend's 'Redemption song', which leads to a discussion on justice when someone has been killed. She started by making students answer questions based on the video in breakout rooms. I was allowed to join the students in the breakrooms to observe them. The students were able to answer half of the questions, they had difficulty with questions dealing with the concept of forgiveness.
Once the time for answering questions was over, she called on students to answer the questions. To ensure they understand why they got that answer, professor Clappeta asked them why they have chosen that answer. She was very patient with the students when they believe that they did not have the answer. She would give the students suggestions to answer the questions without giving the full answer.
When she realized that the students did not know how to answer the questions, she made the students watch the video and listen for a word that starts with the letter 'C',' contradiction.' She then took me into a breakout room and allowed me to ask her questions. One of my questions was how she was able to speak on controversial topics and not have any conflicts. She explains that there are many times when students did have a strong opinion on controversial topics and they were eye-opening. This topic, forgiveness, was actually a very heated topic in her previous lectures. One of the reasons why she believes that students were able to share their opinion so strongly is that a safe environment was created for them to speak. My final question for her was how to deal with the dead silence, and she just said to call on someone even if they do not know the answer.
