Connection Points and 创新
We educate our students in specific disciplinary fields with an interdisciplinary viewpoint. Bridging connection points between disciplines sparks the kind of discovery, 创建, and innovation that is the hallmark of our college. We build our students’ capacity to experience and understand humanity and the world in ways that are different from other institutions. This enables our students to pursue meaningful careers and a life of substance.
The Dean’s 创新 Fund provides essential resources to support faculty and student projects, 设备, 旅行, and cross-departmental events. These resources are the seeds from which great ideas, 经历, and solutions grow in support of our Roadrunner commitment to “changemakers.”

团队合作教学

Rationale (Include whether this is co-teaching or team teaching):
Once approval is received, the Chair/Director then adds the course to Banner. The Associate Dean will ensure the approval email contains the amount of teaching credit awarded for each instructor. It is each faculty member’s responsibility to ensure the approval email is uploaded into Watermark. Any discrepancy between the auto-generated credit hours and the awarded credit hours for co-teaching must be addressed in the teaching narrative.
In Banner, one instructor must be entered as a primary instructor. The percent of responsibility and percent of session must add up to 100%. 交叉上市课程, individual faculty may be entered for discipline specific prefixes using the override indicator. We recognize these Banner limitations and acknowledge that these variables do not necessarily reflect teaching responsibilities for the course. The amount of credit each faculty member is assigned towards their teaching load will be determined on a case-by-case basis for now, while the Dean’s Office works with Department Chairs in developing a formula and set of guiding principles for credit distribution.
When addressing SRI comments, students should be reminded to start with instructor’s name before entering comments. Faculty are encouraged to address any SRI concerns in their narrative as well as add annotations and supporting documentation to Watermark.
