Quotes from the episode

You don’t need to change your entire course tomorrow. What is one simple thing that you can do that will push you on the path?

– Matthew Mahavongtrakul

“The number one kind of piece of pushback that I get from faculty is I just simply cannot cover everything.”

– Matthew Mahavongtrakul

“I think at the crux of it, it is the shift in mentality between us as being, as we say, the sage on the stage to being a facilitator in the classroom.”

– Matthew Mahavongtrakul
