Strategies for Teaching a Student-Centered Large Lecture Course in Public Affairs.

Hansen, Edmund J.; Rubin, Richard S.

Journal of Public Administration Education, v3 n3 p329-44 Sep 1997

Collaboration between a public affairs faculty member and an instructional developer resulted in design of a learner-centered large lecture course. Evaluation after three years revealed which elements of the course format generated the most student interest and, in some cases, changed attitudes about learning in college. Suggestions are made for further course changes based on analysis of student feedback. (Author/MSE)
