TEACHSOC: Age homogeneous or heterogeneous classes....

[Michael Klausner]

Greetings:   Another topic for discussion. I just found out that my institution now “reserves” sections of courses for “freshmen.” I voiced my disagreement indicating that age heterogeneous classes are beneficial to students rather than year or age segregated ones. New students can learn from older ones. Older ones can serve as “role models” for freshmen. Also, older ones, having more “life experiences” can relate those to course content thus helping freshmen to see the “real world” relevance of sociology.   What do you think?   Best Wishes, Michael Klausner --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Teaching Sociology" group.
