Abstract | Pressure upon institutions of higher education to attract more students and to cut back on the number of courses offered has increased in recent years. A part of the problem is to determine which courses should continue to be offered and to better fit student interests to the course available. One solution to this problem, is the offering of "preview courses." A preview course, as practiced at Illinois State University and elsewhere, is a condensed, short course or series of class meetings during which the instructor presents the syllabus, textbooks, and approach to the subject matter. Students attending such sessions could sample the dimensions of existing courses before enrolling and thus would be more likely to be satisfied with the courses chosen. A college "preview course" program is a tangible demonstration of interest in students by college academic departments. (CH) |
