You will do fine. Prepare as if for a job interview, always staying positive. That will help you remain positive.

Sounds like a great scenario. Thanks for the idea. I'm already thinking about variations, attire, settings. I'll have to see if I can find someone who wants to play it. Hard to find suitable candidates.

And what happens if you have lower performance scores? Try holding Milton's collected works, vol.1 in the right, vol. 2 in the left, arms outstretched, and each time you move the Dean will whack your bum with a T-square to which you reply "And what has become of the widow's son?"
I go through the same every year so I sympathize. My boss goes on about my goals and I think "WTF do you think my goals are?....to stay employed for a few more years until I retire!!!"

You will be fine. Good scenario for a role play . but I don't think you will get spanked in the review.

Group work (Team work). The latest fad. All the rage in MBA programs. You'd think these Deans would try to disguise their thievery a bit.

I can see some small utility for a student in learning how to function as part of a team, organize a meeting, prepare a proposal, etc., but you're right. They should learn from a teacher the things the teacher is best at, not some damn thing the teacher hasn't even got the hang of yet herself.

I was always sorry I never got formal training in organization and management in school. I paid a hell of a price during my career because of it. But I'll be damned if I see the value in the halt teaching the blind.

I remember the dean of the English Department at the University of Hawaii speaking to a crowd of my fellow students back in my misspent youth, about the evils of the military draft. He averred that the only thing you could learn from the Army was good posture. He overlooked organization and management skills, one of the damn-well numerous things you couldn't learn in an English class. Everybody has something to offer. The trick is to figure out who and what, and help them to do it, not just pontificate and leave them to clean up the afterbirth. I suggest you make friends with the commandant of the local ROTC unit, if they still have such a thing, and invite him in to organize group activities. lol (Be careful, though. Swingers groups proliferated on military bases for a reason. )
