ARLT 701 - Teaching In The Two Year College

3 credits
Taught by an Arts and Letters faculty member and faculty from the County College of Morris, this course focuses on cultures, missions, and practices of teaching in community colleges, especially in New Jersey. The Drew/CCM teaching team will introduce participants to central issues of teaching and learning in the community college sector of higher education. The course will explore the unique characteristics of community college students as well as the mission and history of the colleges. In terms of issues which present themselves, the course will consider the role of general education requirements, assessment, distance education, and the changing nature of the collective bargaining environment. Finally, the course will focus on practical issues: career transitions, syllabus design, writing courses and pedagogy, and the development of ones own teaching ethic as a potential faculty member. This course is required for students proposing to do the D.Litt concentration in two-year college teaching.
