Learning Communities Classes:
Learning communities involve the intentional creation of class pairs or
clusters around a common theme or concept. Typically, the same group of
students is co-enrolled in two or more courses, usually from different
disciplinesfor instance, history and art, English and career guidance,
political science and philosophy. Students enroll in both courses but
receive a separate grade for each one.
Course instructors integrate their syllabi, encouraging students to gain
a deeper understanding of each course, even as they discover connections
between the two. Classroom activities, tests, assignments, field trips,
research projects, and educational technology are used to engage students in
their own learning, as well as provide them with valuable "real-world"
skills.
Perhaps more importantly, the learning community model promotes
student-centered learning, with an emphasis on an enriched classroom
environment. It promotes greater intellectual growth and genuine mastery of
course content through collaborative activities, frequent feedback, and
increased student-teacher and student-student interactions. Traditional
lecturing is minimized; active learning and thoughtful integration of
content are maximized.
Research indicates learning communities promote student achievement,
retention, and progress toward degree completion. Faculty benefit from
professional development and training, fresh approaches to teaching, and
collaboration with colleagues. Finally, the college profits from
institutional research and development that is intimately tied to
teaching/learning outcomes.
Learning Communities Program Withdrawal Policy:
When a student enrolls in a group of two or more courses as part of a
learning community, he or she must meet the prerequisite(s), if there are
any, for EACH course in the combination. Students enrolled in one section of
a course that is part of a learning community must be enrolled in all other
courses in that group. Labs must be taken with lecture. If one course is
dropped, the student MUST and Will be disenrolled from all other courses in
the learning community. There are no exceptions to this policy.
Questions: If you have questions for the Learning Communities
Program, please call (562) 860-2451, ext. 2600.
