Teaching methods
Although Professor Leiboff will present some of the information during the first and second modul by way of lecture, much of each class period will be devoted to classroom discussion in which the students will be expected to share their own ideas regarding the critical questions. As a result, students will be expected to have done the assigned reading in advance of class. During both parts of an interactive workshop the students will be expected to actively and creatively participate.
Assessment methods
The Assessment will be based on a individual theatrical presentation during the final part of the course.
