How do our students experience the “unknown”? Is it something to be feared, or an invitation to explore? This session will follow up on ideas raised by Sarah Cavanagh at the Fall Faculty Workshop.

What does research tell us about these “appraisals,” and what needs to be in place to make uncertainty a palatable, even desirable, part of learning?
