We are happy to announce a new lab publication that just came out in CBE Life Sciences Education: "What’s in a Name? The Importance of Students Perceiving That an Instructor Knows Their Names in a High-Enrollment Biology Classroom." We found that students report many benefits that result from an instructor using their name in a large (150+ students!) classroom. We also found that the instructor doesn't actually need to know every student's name - many of the students perceived that their names were known, but the instructor did not actually know their names.
Congrats to Katey, Brian, and Anna on their hard work in getting this work published!
