Teaching Large Classes:
The Large
Classes Teaching Guide was first sponsored by the Office
of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. As part of the
campus initiative in Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI),
the CQI project focused on a persistent problem area for
academic programs in many disciplines--the challenge of
providing high quality educational experiences to
undergraduates in large lecture classes. This guide was
one of the
recommendations of the CQI team in order to provide a
resource to help teachers improve their work in the
challenging environment of the large lecture course.
