A senior business assistant in the political science department at Texas Tech, Dora Rodriguez, told the newspaper that Mr. Gonzales would teach a "special topics" course on contemporary issues in the executive branch.
Even though this was a topics course required for the environmental studies major, it was open to students across the curriculum.
This was carried out for practical purposes of organization, as well as to allow them to see what was available to them during the special topics course.
Xie, Debacker, and Ferguson (2006) pinpointed five themes that influenced university students' participation in online discussion including instructor's role, interaction among peers, discussion topics, course requirements, and usability of online system.
This semester, I am teaching a special topics course on "Religion in America".
Therefore, a questionnaire was distributed among all students including the topics course contents, learning materials, time management, supervision, and overall impression.
We invited all 10 students (three undergraduate and seven graduate) taking a 'special topics' course in the McMaster Integrative Neuroscience Discovery and Study Program to participate in this study.
This may include currently available coursework, plus a seminar series, a topics course, journal clubs, discussions of case studies, grand round presentations, etc. which are specifically developed for the participants in the program.
For example, when there is a new area or focus on a new topic, courses such as "Teaching the revised H16 chemistry extension topics – nanomaterials and polymers" will be conducted to help teachers learn the new content.
