Portland State University - Introductory Spanish blended course overview - 0 views
-
Portland State University (PSU) redesigned Introductory Spanish, a yearlong, multiple-section course. Because of funding and space limitations, enrollment had been arbitrarily set at about 690 enrollments annually. In some academic years, current offerings met only 50% of the demand. One faculty member coordinated the course content and taught one section; teaching assistants taught the 9-10 remaining sections. The DFW rate was approximately 25% from fall to spring. The redesigned course addressed inconsistencies among sections through improved planning, coordination and training of teaching assistants, and clear articulation with new universal second-language requirements in Oregon.
