| Summary: | Twenty articles describing innovative courses and teaching methods are included in this first annual collection. Techniques for English courses are described in four articles covering the uses of media, the tutorial approach, teaching the art of questioning, and using the steps of film production as analogy in writing instruction. Two articles describe interdisciplinary courses in the sciences and humanities, while a third discusses one means of involving faculty in interdisciplinary programs. Biofeedback training and the use of counselors as instructors are considered in two articles on personal development courses. Other descriptions of innovative approaches include the use of art in teaching western civilization; simulation in nursing education; a course in geometry based on inductive reasoning; ways of involving students in American Indian history; using corporate annual reports to teach the accounting language of business; competency-based instruction in art history; teaching analytic thinking in introductory sociology; computer-assisted instruction in biology; and using federal census data as primary sources in history instruction. Descriptions of the Educational Skills program at Fashion Institute of Technology and of an effort to bring library services to off-campus students complete the document. (DC) |
