Abstract | This document describes the planning and implementation of an interdisciplinary humanities program at Golden West College. A planning committee sought input from faculty and students in order to determine what needs were not being met by current general education requirements and to determine how an integrated program could be developed involving a mixture of cognitive, affective, and experiential learning. A pilot program was developed, requiring ten hours of class time per week, and offering a variety of learning activities such as films, lectures, seminars, workshops, readings, and independent studies. The one-semester pilot course consisted of three segments: (1) Bases of Human Relationships, (2) Alienation, and (3) Love and Friendship. The last week of the course, Celebration Week, provided students an opportunity for presentation of projects and performances. For each segment of the course, the document provides a listing of suggested lectures and panel discussions, suggested media, questions for seminar discussions, and workshop topics. Also provided is a general description of the program's purposes, goals, interdisciplinary mechanisms, learning activities, individual activities, administration, and evaluation. A section of the report outlines a five-year plan for program development and expansion. (JDS) |
