| What's a Learning Community? |
A learning community is a pair or group of classes that are linked and enroll a single group of students. Instructors teach their own classes, but plan their courses together to structure learning experiences that build community among students and between students and teachers.

| Why Enroll in a Learning Community? |
• Learning communities increase student engagement and participation since the same students are involved in both classes, often in the same room in back-to-back classes
• Learning communities offer the opportunity to apply learning concepts to both subjects, allowing students to address topics from more than one perspective
• Students benefit from more interaction with instructors
• Some assignments in learning communities overlap and may be credited toward both classes, therefore reducing the overall number of assignments required if taken in individual classes.
• Learning communities focus on understanding how all the skills students are learning fit together |
|
| Advising Information for Spring 2010 |
• Students must register for all linked courses in the community and must remain enrolled in all of the courses in a linked community. Students cannot drop one course and stay enrolled in the other(s)
• Pre-requisites / program restrictions are enforced; please check before scheduling
• Outside activities may be required for these classes; collaborative learning is encouraged and required for most communities
• Class sizes are specifically limited; no overrides for enrollment. Students wanting to join a full learning community must see both instructors during drop/add period. |
