Our Notes From The Workshop
1. Encourages Contact
 * At the beginning of the class I will admit that I never wanted to visit my instructors. Let them know you are approachable.
 * I divided a project in three sections and the students were required to meet with me one on one. This was required.
 * As a student, I liked being reminded about office hours. Instructors send introductory letters - a personal touch.

2. Collaboration
 * Communicating the expectations of openess and saftey. Letting them know that it is okay to talk in class. Student-student groups for projects and papers. At the end one member of the group reports back. Example: Everyone in the class writes a paper, and then they voted on the best paper.
 * Curiculum: make sure that collaboration is an actual outcome of the class
 * Program: Study groups and pizza night - dean support for developing ideas
 * Cross-discipline.

3. Active Learning
 * Creating assignments that students can apply to their personal and professional life
