Despite changes all around them, Social Science department finds they are STAYING CN CCDU RSE Even with overall enrollment on the increase, Social Science instructors found that there was not much change in the way they taught their courses. With more students there was more lecture work with less in- dividual attention, said Jim Miesner, psychology instructor in his first year at Cowley. lt really doesn't hurt the lower level courses like General Psychology where we try to give a whole bunch of information. According to Bob Lawson, head of the social science department, enrollment in department classes has always been pretty steady. While the numbers of students had not varied greatly, the type of student had. I was impressed with the seriousness of the students, Miesner said. They had good intensity and a desire to learn. Lawson attributed this to a change in the times. Students are much more serious and settled as opposed to students nf the late '60s and early '7Os, Lawson' said. It is iust a change in the times. As economic times got rougher, more adults returned to the classroom. Miesner felt these adult students enhanced his classes. With older students we got a bet- ter mix of ideas, he said. They of- fered several view points for class discussion. Lawson echoed Miesner's prgise for adult students. Adults are very good students, Lawson said. They have something over the normal college student in that they have a better idea of what they want to do. In addition, there was a change in what the students were interested in. I have sensed more of an interest from the students in state and local level happenings, said Stan Dyck, political science instructor. Economic conditions affected the conditions on the state and local level. Students had an interest in knowing what was going on. A maior topic of discussion on the campus was budget cuts, however Lawson didn't feel that they would have too much of an effect on the department. The cuts will not affect our program. It will not affect the quality of our teaching, he said. Miesner felt the only effect would be on the plans he could make. I couldn't plan to include many dif- ferent things in my classes such as field trips, Miesner said. by Paul Englis f GATHER ROUND - In an informal class designed speclflcally for those enterlng the teaching field, Stan Dyck enxplalns recent trends In education. lPhoto by Davld Bartonl 26!sociaI science
