ARTT701

Taught by an Arts and Letters faculty member and faculty from the County College of Morris. Focuses on cultures, missions, and practices of teaching in community colleges. The Drew/CCM teaching team introduces central issues of teaching and learning in the community college sector of higher education. Explores the unique characteristics of community college students as well as the mission and history of the colleges. In terms of issues which present themselves, students may consider the role of general education requirements, assessment, distance education, and the changing nature of the collective bargaining environment. Finally, students may focus on practical issues: career transitions, syllabus design, writing courses and pedagogy, and the development of one's own teaching ethic as a potential faculty member.
