LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Before Dr. Angela Hunter, associate professor of English at UA Little Rock, meets her new students, she is already thinking of ways to get to know them.
That's why she sends out a survey to all the students in her upcoming classes to ensure that she knows how to pronounce their names, their interests, and if they have any special circumstances that might impact their ability to succeed in the classroom.
"I think it helps to let the students know that I see them as a whole person, and that I am willing to work with them," Hunter said.
