Teaching
Some LAC sections will be taught by a faculty member who is fluent in a foreign language and is willing to work independently with some of his/her students who want to use their language skills. In this case, the professor will add a LAC component description to his or her syllabus, come up with a list of students who will participate and decide on a schedule to meet. Other LAC sections will be formed by students who are completing research projects or papers in a second language under the faculty member teaching the primary course. In these cases, a language faculty member will assist the student(s) during the course of the semester.
LAC sessions will also be led by selected LAC assistants who will meet with the faculty member teaching the primary course and the LAC coordinator throughout the semester to ensure that the material in the LAC section (readings, discussion questions, movies, etc.) integrates well with the course objectives and other assignments of the primary course. Students who lead three or more LAC courses (not necessarily during one semester) will receive a LAC Competence Certificate.
Grading is determined by the professor leading the section. Student-instructors report regularly on the activity level of each student in the section, and the professor makes the final pass/fail determination.
