PSCI 110 Online Course-ReDesign

The course re-design was initiated in 2010 to transition a semester-long three-meetings-a-week for 50-minutes course of 150 students to a semester-long hour-and-twenty- minute face-to-face meeting once a week hybrid course with 150 students. Following the initial course re-design, in 2013, a fully on-line course was developed as an eight-week summer class with 45 students. The course will be taught as a semester-long fully on-line course in Spring 2016 with 60 students. This is a high-demand course that is critical to efficient progress-to-degree. The College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (CAHSS) encouraged the Department of Politics to transform the course so that multiple formats of the same course (e.g., fully face-to-face and fully on-line) are taught in the same semester to accommodate different learning styles and student needs.
