This is a short discussion of only about 15 minutes. 

These are not rules in the traditional sense of rules and you do not have to be a student in the traditional sense of being enrolled in a class.  These "rules" are more guidelines for how to listen in a way that will maximize your ability to engage with difficult topics on which you might have pre-existing perspectives.  

My classroom students really liked these rules.  

Note:  While I originally wrote these rules for the benefit of my students, I also wrote them to reflect my own experience and my own efforts to get beyond my assumptions about something difficult to understand.
