Name: A “Drilling Down” Communication-Intensive Syllabus
ID: m16584
Language: English (en)
Summary: This syllabus description explains how to use group presentations and a final written report to help students understand a complex set of related issues. This syllabus was used in an energy issues seminar. All of the major topics in the course are addressed simultaneously in each of four cycles. Groups gradually improve critical reasoning and summarize their comprehensive knowledge of related phenomena. A skeleton syllabus that can be redeployed in other courses concludes the description.
