Johnson said these proposals are now under review by a committee of faculty and students consisting of Drs. These women and men will judge the proposals based on criteria assembled by a committee of Dowdy and Drs. Neil Seitz, Charles Kirkpatrick, Dennis Wacker, student Jay Perry, Janet Laney and chaired by Johnson. The courses are very interactive between the students and the faculty. It's not a traditional approach.
Students become an active part of the project.
This represents a different way of looking at learning. The criteria focused on developing enhanced classes for freshman and sophomore students, as well as increased opportunities for student and faculty interaction in and out of the classroom. The criteria didn't come from nowhere. It was based on several years of work. In addition, the committee distributed the draft criteria to a number of resource groups, and an open meeting for faculty comment was held in early August.
