stephanie griffin, ph.d.: human ecology history lecture
DESCRIPTION
Human Ecology Foundations was a required course at the time for all students in the College of Education and Human Ecology. A diverse population, the students came from Human Development & Family Science, Clothing & Textiles, and Family Resource Management. There were more than 15 majors within those departments and this course was an overview of all the fields represented by the college. Needless to say, this made teaching this course challenging. More challenging to me, however, was teaching the material 4 times a year and keeping it fresh and interesting for 360 students per term. In a large class, bored students sleep, study for other classes, don’t show up. This lecture used to be the worst one for my predecessor. I taught it from the perspective of the world events happening around the seminal events of each of their majors. It is my all-time favorite lecture and was a favorite with students, too, according to their course reviews.TRANSCRIPT
