A high impact practice is a pedagogical approach which requires an investment of time and energy over an extended period that has unusually positive effects on student engagement in educationally purposeful behavior (Kuh, 2010). High impact practices are evidence-based teaching and learning practices that have been widely tested and shown to be beneficial for college students (Kuh, 2008).
Characteristics of high-impact activities include: setting appropriately high expectations of students; interaction with faculty and peers about substantive matters; experiences with diversity; frequent feedback; reflection and integrative learning; real-world applications; and demonstrated competence.

How long have you worked at your institution? since 2008
What is your teaching/research focus area(s)? ? I teach Management and Human Resource Management classes in the College of Business. My research focuses stress and coping, career development (e.g., career plateaus, mentoring), and pedagogical topics.
What do you appreciate most about the HIP(s) that you have infused into the courses you teach?
For the service learning project that I use each year in my MBA class, the most rewarding part are the end of semester student reflections about the impact the project had on their learning. For the AI projects I’ve been using in my other classes, it has helped me personally by completely re-thinking the way I teach each of my classes, which has been a welcome challenge. It’s also encouraging to know that I’m passing on tools that students will need to be able to use in order to be competitive in the workplace.
