‘UC How It’s Done’
ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ College Utrecht
Program for spring and fall of 2015
UCU, January 27, 2015
The teaching in a liberal arts context, especially at international honors colleges like UCU, requires special skills. For example: interactive teaching in small groups, leading discussions, teaching a culturally and academically diverse group of students, teaching the academic context and history of the discipline, interdisciplinary teaching, and teaching in English. Furthermore, teaching at a ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ College also entails engaging with the student community, both inside and outside the classroom. This requires an understanding of the philosophy and ideals of a liberal arts education and a basic awareness of the intellectual development of students.
One of the first initiatives of the new is to offer joint opportunities for faculty development. Participating colleges will each advertise their own activities and invite colleagues from other colleges to register.
