Ritchie says, &amp;quot;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;When faculty members know the intended outcomes of the meetings, have the opportunity to collaboratively develop norms, and work together in heterogeneous groups, they are more likely to arrive at the meeting with positive expectations.&amp;quot; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
