Students will read and discuss many of the major statements about teaching?pedagogy, philosophy, content, theory?by the teachers who write about their experiences in the classroom, including Edmundson, Berube, Tompkins, Linkon. Debates about professional ethics?concerning instructor/student interactions, academic freedom; and how race, class, gender, sexuality, religion enter the classroom?will also be part of our course. Along with a number of oral presentations, two major assignments are due in this course: a critical book review (see Pedagogy for examples) and a teaching philosophy statement. Visiting faculty will include Andrea Stevens, Kirstin Wilcox, and Ricky Rodriguez, among others. Restriction(s): Restricted to English or Creative Writing major(s) or minor(s).
