PROJECT TIMELINE

The primary activities will be annual offerings of OpenSeminar, annual one-day workshops, and evaluation studies. In fall term of Year 1, the Senior Fellows (faculty) and Junior Fellows (graduate students) will gather at NC A&T for a one-day workshop. The goals of the workshop will be to: 1) Develop, refine, and learn to teach the OpenSeminar; 2) Discuss recruitment for OpenSeminar; and 3) In Year 1, the course will be taught on each campus.

In Year 2, the workshop will be held again in the fall and the course will be taught.

At the beginning of Year 3, each institution will review the course and, if satisfied, provide resources needed by the instructor/senior fellows to help institutionalize the project and to continue teaching the course. A final workshop in spring of Year 3 will evaluate the project.
