A challenge that exists in higher education is the lack of relatability between students and teachers. This disconnect likely prevents students from asking for help before, during, and/or after class. One way to increase relatability between students and teachers is by having a simple 5-minute conversation during an individual meeting, where I asked four questions and listened to the answers. The purpose of these meetings was to foster a relationship between myself and my students, in the hopes that students would feel more comfortable asking for help during and outside of class. Students were offered a small amount of extra credit to meet with their human physiology professor during the first three weeks of the semester. To earn extra credit, students had to (1) Sign up for a five-minute meeting using a link posted on Canvas, (2) Find the office of the professor, and (3) Answer four questions. Students did not know the questions before hand which were: (1) Where are you from? (2) What is your career goal? (3) What is something unique about yourself? (4) What was the highlight of your break? During the 2022-23 academic year, I had [approximately equal] 350 individual meetings with students where I asked these four questions. In a follow-up, anonymous survey, a common theme from students was these meetings were beneficial because they became more comfortable, and it made them more likely to ask questions in the future. These meetings appeared to be effective at increasing student engagement during and outside of class.
