There are many opportunities for guest speakers and field trips. I teach the Mexican American experience and Anival Gonzalez teaches English, so a lot of the material is reinforced in his English class, which makes the learning more effective.” What is a learning community? Learning communities consist of two (2) courses that are linked or blocked together. When you enroll in a learning community, you must register for both courses. The structure of each learning community can vary among courses and instructors. Some learning communities will incorporate a common theme that is woven into the curriculum of both linked courses. Others will simply provide an opportunity to build and establish a support network across campus. In either case, you will be taking classes with the same student cohort and instructors. This makes it easier to develop new friendships with your peers and allows you to form study groups that will help you succeed throughout your college career. To learn more about Learning Communities or propose one, see link.
