Teaching and Learning

Your Ideal Course to Teach or Take?

What kind of creative, collaborative courses are you wanting to bring to the Augsburg community? Courses on pop culture and vocation? The internet economy? Sexual identity? Political activism and democracy colleges? A semester on the Mississippi River? Education in Latin America? As a follow-on to the Commission on Academic Opportunities work of last year, we are reconvening the group that looking at interdisciplinary and team-taught courses and programs. This "free space" is open to any faculty, staff, or student interested in developing new collaborative learning experiences for our students and strengthening the engaged, interdisciplinary program and courses currently offered.

The first meetings are Mon., Dec. 10, and Friday, Dec. 14, from 3:40-5 p.m. in Old Main 202. That room is reserved as a workshop space on Mon. and Fri. 3:40-5:10 p.m. for the Spring term, and many of the meetings will take place during those times. There will also be regular lunch discussion on Wed. and Thurs. in the Commons (by the windows in the NE corner) for anyone who just wants to stop by and explore possibilities. Contact underhil@augsburg.edu with any questions or suggestions.
