Discussions

  • Discussion 1. Students views of the interdisciplinary nature of the GC course
    "So you think for yourself a lot more through this course. You don't just hear something and assume that it's a fact."

  • Discussion 2. Faculty views on computer-dependent learning activities
    "We study the Great Lakes and get real-time data sets from the USGS sensors measuring the water flows down the tributaries, the pH and the sediment loading."

  • Discussion 3. Student views on computer-dependent learning activities
    "I think that learning is enhanced by a student taking raw data and making a graph rather than just looking at the finished product. It'll mean less to them and they won't retain it, I think."

  • Discussion 4. Faculty and student views of the role of lecture
    "And I am not personally attached to the web as the delivery system for lecture material."

  • Discussion 5. Faculty views on the role of personal qualities in fielding an interdisciplinary course
    "At a place like Michigan, you need to send a green light to the faculty saying, "This is a goal." You then provide the means and incentive for them to get there. They need to gain ownership, otherwise it won't happen."

  • Discussion 6. Faculty views on the extra time needed for, and the special importance of, the GSI role
    "There is an inherent inefficiency in team teaching that is not expressed when you're teaching a course alone."

  • Discussion 7. Faculty views on the U of M reward structure
    "If you teach your regular load and you team-teach on the side, team-teaching counts for less, and I think people want to see that change. The question is, how do we implement it?"
