College students in social-behavioral science courses described their personality traits, their teachers’ traits, dimensions of classroom behavior, and their attraction to their instructors (graduate teaching assistants) “as persons” and “as teachers.” Correlational analyses showed that teacher skill was not related to students’ self-perceived personality traits or their attraction to teachers “as persons,” but was correlated positively with certain teacher personality traits and attraction to instructors “as teachers.” Regression analyses further identified those teacher traits (ascendancy, personal relations, vigor) and classroom behaviors (teacher control, absence of negative affect) most important for effective teaching. It was concluded that college students are objective consumers of the teaching process and their judgments should be solicited to identify variables important for teacher effectiveness.

Purpose The purpose of this clinical focus article is to provide speech-language pathologists with a brief update of the evidence that provides possible explanations for our experiences while coaching college students with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Method The narrative text provides readers with lessons we learned as speech-language pathologists functioning as cognitive coaches to college students with TBI. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list, but rather to consider the recent scientific evidence that will help our understanding of how best to coach these college students. Conclusion Four lessons are described. Lesson 1 focuses on the value of self-reported responses to surveys, questionnaires, and interviews. Lesson 2 addresses the use of immediate/proximal goals as leverage for students to update their sense of self and how their abilities and disabilities may alter their more distal goals. Lesson 3 reminds us that teamwork is necessary to address the complex issues facing these students, which include their developmental stage, the sudden onset of trauma to the brain, and having to navigate going to college with a TBI. Lesson 4 focuses on the need for college students with TBI to learn how to self-advocate with instructors, family, and peers.
