Jointly-taught courses are defined as courses co-taught by two FAS faculty members from distinct FAS departments, emphasizing active and inquiry-based learning over traditional lectures. Jointly-taught courses require full-time presence/participation of involved faculty members. Both faculty members will be assigned full teaching load credit as identified on banner, provided that both faculty members are present in class for all lectures and discussions, have assigned office hours depending on course credits, and are involved in student evaluation.
Jointly-taught courses require FAS Undergraduate Curriculum Committee/Graduate Studies Committee approval. A request for approval of a jointly-taught course must be submitted, with pertinent justification, by each of the chairs of the concerned departments on behalf of the participating faculty member within their unit.
