Doesn’t an anonymous reporting vehicle discourage face-to-face interaction?
No. Students utilizing ‘Talk About It®’ often initiate contact using this anonymous vehicle and end up meeting face to face after their concerns about getting in trouble or disappointing their faculty member is put to rest. ‘Talk About It®’ gives even those students who do feel comfortable discussing issues face-to-face a vehicle to communicate when the issue is potentially embarrassing or when making a face-to-face report could result in retaliation from another student.
