Connect2U Approach to Teaching Introduction to Water Resources Management as a General Education Course

摘要

The purpose of undergraduate general education courses (GeDC) is to develop a wide range of skills in a student beyond the student's chosen field. However, a GeDC class generally comprises students with different levels of interest, preparation, prior knowledge, work style and ethics. Hence, teaching a GeDC urges a different pedagogy from what is required in teaching a course in a student's major discipline. This paper presents an approach, "Connect to you" (Connect2U) to teach a GeDC for the natural science requirement based on a twelve semester period of teaching experience with the course, Introduction to Water Resources Management.
