Abstract
(Excerpt)
Welcome everyone. Thank you very much for coming. It’s so exciting that we’re all together. I was looking forward to this conference. I’m Robin Boyle and I haven’t been here in a long time, unfortunately. So, it’s wonderful to come back and to see all of you.
My foray into contract drafting began about twenty years ago, when I started teaching Drafting Litigation Documents and Contracts (3 credits), which had a contract drafting component. The school also created a standalone Contract Drafting course (2 credits). The books that I’ve been using over the years have been very helpful. I started with George Kuney’s book, and I moved into Tina Stark’s book. Then this past month, Edward Elgar, a U.K. publisher, published my book called Teaching Contract Drafting. I’m here today to talk about the fun stuff! I thought to myself, “I want to present at this conference. What am I going to present on?” It’s going to be pedagogy because I think that is what brings us the most joy in some ways. I will be talking about the testing effect and “flipped classroom.” I’ll touch on learning styles—I know that’s a bad word right now, but I’ll get to that in a moment. I’ll touch on growth mindset. A lot of you are using these tools in the classroom, so that’s what I’m going to be talking about.
