Tutorial Learning and Discourse

Catalog description

The Reach Tutorial Method (RTM) is a learning methodology that develops inquiry, real-world problem solving and critical thinking through collaborative discussions. RTM involves small group discussions facilitated by a knowledgeable instructor who teaches learners how to think, not what to think. By using RTM, learners engage critically and curiously with subject content through inquiry, academic discourse, note taking, synthesis, critical thinking, and active listening. This course will immerse candidates in the theory and practice of the RTM through weekly tutorials that focus on questioning, discourse, and reflection. In particular, the course will lived experience in relation to academic theory. Prerequisite: CAS 50 Corequisites: WC 100, WC 103
