View source for Co-working Sessions for Grad Students

Join us for one-hour Zoom co-working sessions where grad students get paired together to work independently '''on their own separate projects''' with the following suggested format: 

Do four Teddy Bear Talk Support (TBTS) sessions interspersed with three 14-minute work sessions.  For the TBTS sessions, set a one minute timer for each person to talk out loud while the other person remains silent.  When the timer goes off, reset the timer to give them up to another minute to wrap up.

For more information, please contact Leeann at teddybear@umich.edu.

In a nutshell, Teddy Bear Talk Support is about getting to think better by thinking out loud. It's about creating opportunities for having a listener along for the ride who isn't "doing" much, while you talk out loud.  Listeners operate in "teddy bear mode," where they are only listening, or where they can also do a few other limited things, like ask open, honest questions, or make guesses about what seemed important.
