Course Notes and Teaching Strategies
This class is offered for a Letter Grade Only
We will be meeting in person for almost every session but will incorporate some flipped classroom models with online lectures, resources, Blackboard use, and other educational resources
Lecture slides and additional resources will be posted on blackboard
Announcements will be posted on Blackboard and emailed concurrently
Any readings outside of required books will be posted on Blackboard
Some classes may meet via Zoom due to guest lecturer availability, this will be announced via blackboard and email and links will be included
This class will be discussion based and participation is core to that. I will attempt to employ multiple pedagogical strategies throughout the semester to ensure all students feel included and able to contribute. We all learn differently, and I will account for that.
Reading is central to understanding theory, so please make sure to arrive prepared and with a couple of key talking points, questions, or platforms to initiate critical discussion.
