Office Hours

Why do students attend, or avoid, office hours?   Like many professors, I feel like students don’t really come to office hours, but I don’t totally understand why. In this episode I explore some data about who does and does not come to office hours, and why, along with some fun suggestions for modifying the traditional office hours experience.    Griffen et al, 2014: https://doi.org/10.1080/87567555.2014.896777 Hsu, et al, 2022: https://doi.org/10.1187/cbe.22-03-0048 Guerrero & Rod, 2013: https://doi.org/10.1080/15512169.2013.835554 Brodsky, 2018 (online appointment): https://doi.org/10.1080/15228959.2018.1472051 Glynn-Adey, 2021 (public office hours): https://doi.org/10.1080/87567555.2020.1845599 Taylor, 1994 (office hours by walking around): https://doi.org/10.1080/87567555.2020.1845599
