Jumi Hayaki, professor of psychology, teaches on zoom
Professor Jumi Hayaki opens the Zoom meeting of her upper-level seminar on eating disorders like the researcher that she is, identifying the day’s focus — a form of treatment known as motivational interviewing — and inviting students to discuss their perspectives on the efficacy of the approach. Members of the class respond with enthusiasm, diving into a lively round-table debate on the pros and cons of the treatment as described in the research studies and first-person account they have read and analyzed on the seminar’s discussion board over the past week. One after another, they share their thoughts, responding to each other’s views and interrogating the strengths and weaknesses of the treatment style.
