Impact on staff
compelling
inspired by hearing the students’
stories
reminded me what we’re
here for
powerful stuff
now that I know…
I am going to…
appreciate the courage that students have
easy to relate to and think of the implications for teaching and
learning

Value: students’ views(I gained) a feeling of accomplishment and
relevance, people listened to what I had to
say
It created a platform for me to spell out my
experiences
I found the interaction between staff and
students very beneficial
I liked being listened to

The bringing together of faculty and students for discussion of the processes of teaching and learning in which they are jointly involved (rather than the usual focus on the content of the curriculum) is as rare as it is valuable.
(Asmar 1999)
