Reading Group

cover of the book "The Opposite of Teaching"

The spring 2026 reading group selection is The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI by Tricia Bertram Gallant and David Rettinger. Though the topic book does not fall under this year's creativity theme, we believe that it will generate many good discussions on a timely topic. If you will be attending the reading group and would like for the CTE to purchase a hard copy of the book for you, please RSVP by noon on January 16; select any of the reading group listings from "Activity" and then choose the sessions that you will be able to attend.

*If you are registering after January 16, you acknowledge that you will obtain your own copy of the book. A digital copy of the book is also available through Fondren Library.

We will meet in Herring 129 from 12:00pm - 1:00pm on the following dates:

Wednesday, February 4: Introduction through Chapter 2
Wednesday, March 4: Chapter 3 through Chapter 6
Wednesday, April 8: Chapter 7 and Conclusion

Lunch will be provided.

Summaries of group discussions can be found in our Past Resources after the sessions take place.
