Led by R. Bruce Mattingly, Dean, School of Arts and Sciences (SUNY Cortland)

Faculty at several SUNY institutions have been providing students with cross-disciplinary learning experiences through a method we call Common Problem Pedagogy. In this breakout session, we will provide an overview of the process that we have used to assist faculty with planning these experiences in their courses. Major topics include:

•     Selecting appropriate problems
•     Incorporating cross-disciplinary perspectives
•     Working with community partners
•     Identifying specific tasks for students
•     Methods for assessing student work

Session participants will have opportunities to brainstorm about ways to adapt these strategies for their courses, share ideas and concerns, and ask questions.
