- Title
Ten simple rules for unbiased teaching.

- Abstract
University teaching, whether by professors, lecturers, or instructors, draws on a number of skills including communicating and simplifying complex ideas, to inspiring students and teaching critical thinking. Rule 9: Provide positive, kind, inclusive, and encouraging feedback The bidirectional nature of teaching is reflected in teachers posing questions that students answer, students proposing ideas that teachers critique. When feedback was accompanied by an assurance of the student's capacity to reach the teacher's high standards (e.g., statements like "I have high standards and I know you can meet them"), black students responded as positively as white students, engendering trust rather than stereotype threat. When student disagreement or criticism arises, teachers should respectfully listen, adopt currently accepted semantics, and acknowledge the limitations of outdated semantics in assigned readings or other works.
