Putting The 'Team' In Team-Taught Courses
Dr Jo Vergunst, Department of Anthropology, School of Social Science
This case is presented by the current Head of Department in Anthropology on behalf of the whole Department. Team-taught courses pose unique challenges for university teaching and learning. Teaching materials need to be coherent if more than one lecturer is involved and tutors need a clear sense of the purpose of tutorials. At Level 1 and 2, where courses may have large numbers of students and staff involved, the challenges are magnified and yet these courses are key to giving students a positive start to University life. We have transformed our sub-honours teaching through a series of new initiatives.
