What models of Learning Communities are offered at LCCC?
We offer various models of Learning Communities. The primary model links together two courses, two instructors, and one group of students and focuses them on one interdisciplinary theme. For example, we have linked English 106: College English II with Psychology 243: Abnormal Psychology, forming the Learning Community Madness and Metaphors: Psychology in Literature. One group of students enrolled in both courses, and the faculty teaching the courses collaboratively developed course material so that students read literature and wrote essays that related to the concepts being studied in Abnormal Psychology. We have linked courses within individual majors, courses that are general elective courses, and courses from both categories.
