Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
?Few guides are available for faculty who want to begin interdisciplinary programs, and probably none combine interdisciplinary and team teaching programs. This text can serve as a guide for faculty 'contemplating or planning interdisciplinary team-taught courses, ' but it can also help graduate students define for themselves what des and can happen in the academy to strengthen and change what we have been doing....Davis offers programs that are working, providing opportunity to think about programs that may work as interdisciplinary, team taught courses, how those programs are organized, and what teaching strategies work best with them.?-The Chronicle of CQI
