Study plan adopts
integrated approach
By Nancy Stohs
It won't be quite like Centennial College.
The group of 25 students will be freshmen with majors in the
area of social service. They probably won't live together, but will
have an old house near campus or a suite in a UNL building as a
social and academic "home base."
But on the surface, the freer classroom, integrated-study idea
behind the learning set-up proposed by Vernon Williams, UNL
counseling service director, seems similar to Centennial. At the
least, it's a different way to learn.
Williams is proposing the program on a one-year trial basis
starting in fall 1974, provided funds are available.
Students will receive nine hours credit from an integrated
course planned by three instructors in common freshmen areas:
English, science, and social science or education.
1 fiuld be offered either through teachers college oi the
sociul v j i k department.
Williams said combining the courses should answer questions
such as, "What does physics or biology contribute to what I'm
going to be doing in teaching or social work?"
Williams said by keeping the class small and centering it
around a common major, he hopes to offer advantages of a small
community college on a large university campus.
Much of the classwork will be community-based - visiting
public classrooms or sitting in on city council meetings.
He said he hopes students and faculty will interact outside the
classroom too attending plays and concerts together as a group
and discovering the many University resources open to students.
"We can't be effective in helping students until we look at all
that effects them, not just in terms of the classes they're taking,"
Williams said.
Selection of the 25 freshmen students will probably be on a
first-come, first-servo basis, lie said.
Williams said details of the program, such as grading and !..
assignments, will be left up to the students and instructors
themselves.
He said the program would be connected with the counseling
center and a counselor that can answer questions about careers
will be part of the staff.
