Editor Comments:	This course is modeled on IS 3800, "Practicum in Social Sciences," and is designed to allow our students to gain hands-on experience helping in the classroom. Jeri edited for PSoft. NEH edited for catalog 10.7.05.
Proposal Changes:	<no text provided>
History Information:	Edited NEH
Assessment and Goals:	The goal of this course is to allow our students to gain more experience in the classroom and to refine their own skills by helping run review sessions, lead discussions or help with an instructor's research. The student will write a short paper to reflect on his or her own strengths that emerged during this experience, as well as on the areas in which he or she could improve. The students will also be graded on their professionalism in the classroom and in their dealings with other students.
Rationale for Changes or Exceptions:	WE CURRENTLY EMPLOY SOME WORKSTUDY STUDENTS AS TEACHING ASSISTANTS IN OUR COURSES. WE WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND THIS OPPORTUNITY TO OTHER STUDENTS WHO MAY NOT BE WORK STUDY ELIGIBLE, BUT WHO WOULD CONTRIBUTE GREATLY TO THE CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT AND WOULD STAND TO BENEFIT FROM SUCH AN EXPERIENCE.
