III. CES has recently received a competitive award valued at BLAH through LAITS (Liberal Arts Instructional Technology Services) to radically develop, enrich, and revise during the grant period its core required introductory course for all majors, of which CES typically has between 60 and 70 in any given year. The course revision of Introduction to European Studies, which focuses primarily on the EU, will involve the creation of new teaching materials for a large class of 100 students and it will be led by Dr. Katie Arens of the Germanic Studies Department, an expert on modern Europe, pedagogy, and curricular development.
