| Nontraditional Format: | This course will involve field experience in parallel with
lecture experience, including seminars, topical discussions,
field modules, and faculty from host institutions. Students
will have two hours of instructional field experience for every
equivalent one hour of classroom lecture; thus a 3-credit
course will be comprised of approximately 22.5 lecture hours
and 45 field hours. This version of the course will be taught
as writing intensive, which means that the course will include
substantial and ongoing writing assignments that a) relate
clearly to course learning; b) teach the communication values
of a discipline—for example, its practices of argument,
evidence, credibility, and format; and c) prepare students for
further writing in their academic work, in graduate school, and
in professional life. The written assignments will result in a
significant and diverse body of written work (the equivalent of
6000 words or 25 pages) and the instructor (and/or the teaching
assistant assigned to the course) will be closely involved in
student writing, providing opportunities for feedback and
substantive revision. |
