Article on cultivating soft skills in the classroom

A huge thank you to the stellar team of Al-Fanar Media for publishing a new article of mine in both Arabic and English! The English title is “How to Make Students Feel Cared for in Spaces Increasingly Filled with Technology.” The Arabic heading is “لأساتذة الجامعات.. نصائح للتقرب من الطلاب في زمن التعلم الإلكتروني.” I am super-thankful to Mohamed Elhawary for inviting me to contribute this piece. Yet again, I feel incredibly lucky to have my wife Jeanne Vaz, who commented on my draft and is supportive in all aspects of my life. Patty Paine has provided exceptional mentorship in my teaching, research and service. This includes her encouragement to keep reflecting about my pedagogy.
