  2. God gave us two ears and only one mouth. In view of the way we use these, it is probably a very good thing that this is not reversed. - Cicero

  3. Today's students listen to iPods, converse via texting and smart phone, and oftentimes forego an actual (physical) conversation to text someone who is not present.

  4. Speaking vs. Listening This presentation explores whether students actually listen to what professors are saying –– and also the reverse – whether professors are listening to students.

  5. Saint Benedict’s Rule for Monasteries begins: “Listen carefully, my son, to the master’s instructions, and attend to them with the ear of your heart.”
