AT&T Awards 2008 Winners
IAH 207 introduces students to literary, philosophical, and cultural analysis that can be taught by TAs of various disciplinary backgrounds and makes a genuine contribution to General Education at MSU. It uses online technology in an exciting way that makes a direct contribution to developing studentsâ?? writing, critical thinking, and cultural awareness. Technology does not merely reproduce what we do well in class but creates online assignments that reinforce ideas that did not seem to come through in lecture and needed to be incorporated into successful writing assignments. (Professor S. Rachman)
Professor Rachman and his team were recognized at a luncheon on Friday April 25th at the Kellogg Center.
