CU faculty are encouraged to submit proposals to organize and teach an undergraduate course in East Asia (China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and neighboring countries) in summer 2009 or later.
Courses may focus on any topic related to East Asia, in any discipline, but should be designed to draw a diverse audience and encourage greater interest in East Asia. Maximum use should be made of the location, on-site resources, and connections with local communities. Faculty will receive the normal salary for teaching a summer course in addition to having their expenses paid as part of the program fee. Up to 15 students may be accommodated, and each student will receive a partial scholarship to subsidize participation.
There will be two main areas of faculty responsibility in designing the course: one is academic and the second is logistical. Pre-proposals will be reviewed for academic quality by the CAS Curriculum Committee. Logistical matters will be dealt with in the second phase of this competition, which will be managed by the Office of International Education and the Study Abroad Committee. Pre-proposals should include a draft syllabus clarifying how your course design will fulfill the requirements of a three-credit course and an explanation of how this course meets the goals of encouraging student interest in study of East Asia.
Proposals for summer 2009 must be received by October 15, 2008; proposals for 2010 or later are due by November 15, 2008. Submit proposals to Danielle Rocheleau Salaz (CAS, CB 279), cas@colorado.edu.
