Session Description:
In this session, panelists will examine critical approaches to instruction and pedagogy in the context of the credit-bearing course. Panelists will address some of the benefits and challenges of teaching in the credit-bearing format. One of the significant benefits is having time to employ critical pedagogy in the classroom, to build rapport with students, and to make course content more meaningful. We will also examine critiques of the format, and ways to make existing information literacy courses critical by situating content within larger political, cultural, and/or social themes and contexts.
