There is only a small graduate program with little of this type of expertise. George asked if the films, speakers, etc. can be integrated. It is very difficulty for students to know how to connect these in large lecture sections. It is more powerful if one can come back to class and break it down. George asked that the social sciences faculty think about how this can be done and that they probably could do this very well.
Discussion helps to link back to the larger lecture.
Snyder said that a study group is different from teaching a course. George did not think it was, that there is a preparation required for both. Snyder felt that there were senior students even in biology and chemistry interested in literature that might like to do this. George responded that faculty are still needed to train and oversee either GTAs or seniors. Lankton asked if biology would donate 20 GTAs to this.
