We all do a few different things in our ADR classes. It would be wonderful to get
some fresh teaching approaches from everyone attending this session, or even better,
from everyone who teaches ADR. My contribution will be to mention a few things that I
do in, and for, my classes that I would guess that many of you do not do. I will provide
a short description of these ideas here, and will also provide written materials where I
have something else such as an exercise or a memo to students. The AALS has said
that they will post files that speakers wish to post on the AALS web site - so I assume
they will appear somewhere on www.aals.org. In addition, I will post the files on my
own web site at www2.hawaii.edu/~barkai/aals. (note the "2" after the "www")
MY USE OF JOURNALS
Each student must write two 1-2 page confidential journals each semester. A
core part of the instructions for writing the journals was provided to me many years ago
by Professor Frank Sander. I never talk directly about anyone's journal in subsequent
classes, but I think that I could use some of the ideas in later classes. When I have a
class of international students I put in my journal instructions: "Please try to include a
proverb, quotation, or saying about conflict or negotiation from your country."
