It is easy to read into a student's comments what you're expecting to hear…It's very difficult to reflect carefully on what is being said when you're at the front of the room, outnumbered, and trying to get through a certain amount of the curriculum. It was nice to have practice in listening while the pressure is off.

The Listening Project is supported by a grant to Tufts University from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute through the Science Education Program.
