Abstract
If you haven’t read Part 1 of “It’s Not Enough to Be Explicit: Why the Hidden Curriculum Should Be Open Access,” I suggest doing so prior to reading Part 2. In it, I discuss the importance of providing knowledge about the hidden curriculum to students in an Open Access format. When I share aspects of the hidden curriculum directly with students in my courses, I am careful to choose topics that correspond to the demands of the course as well as the needs and desires of the students. In my introductory survey, I ask students how I can support them throughout the term: “What are you most concerned about coming into this course? How can I best support your concerns so that you feel more at ease?” In the introductory discussion, I ask them to share “One or two effective study habits you’d like to adopt while in this course–why are you choosing these? What kind of support will you need to stick to them? How will you get that support?”
