CMU 368 Seattle Campus Small-Group Facilitation Methods for facilitating discussion in small groups formed for the purposes of instruction.
Emphasis is on each student's practical application of the insights derived.
We study, for example, principles of group formation, stages of group development, questioning strategies and tactics, how to help manage diversity, and conflict management in groups. Each conceptual or theoretical principle is applied during hour-long meetins with groups made up of undergraduate students taking spcmu102. The course and practicum will help anyone who plans to work with teams in organizaitonal, instructional, or professional contexts. Recommended preparation We strongly recommend that 368-369 students have already completed spcmu102. The facilitation is not graded, but the facilitators' analysis of their video tape is graded.
