POLICY OF THE OFFICE OF ACADEMIC
AFFAIRS
ON TEAM-TAUGHT COURSES
- Requests for approval of team-taught
courses must be submitted to the appropriate academic deans. Each request
should include a clear rationale that explores the intellectual and
pedagogical purposes to be served by this format. We are particularly
interested in encouraging interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary perspectives.
If both instructors are from the same department, the rationale must include a
full discussion of why the proposed course should be team-taught.
- In each case, a team-taught course must provide the same
number of spaces as two individual courses at a similar level. The request
should specify the minimum number of spaces that will be available. This
number might be expected to vary across departments and disciplines; however,
requests for team-taught courses with very low enrollments will not be
considered.
- Both instructors are expected to be present for all
sessions of the course.
- All proposals must be approved by the appropriate
department or program chairs and academic deans. Faculty who wish to repeat a
team-taught course must submit a new request each time they wish to offer the
course.
- Team-taught courses that have been approved according to
the above procedures will normally carry a total of one teaching credit for
each instructor.
