gta@itc! - 2006 grant recipients

College of Education, Health and Human Sciences
Fall 2006
A main objective of Sport Studies 335 is to provide an overview of the historical, philosophical and social foundations of sport and leisure in our society. Because of the time spent on historical content in the class, it is difficult to devote ample time to analysis of current issues in sports. This project will develop an online site that will allow students to investigate, analyze and discuss current issues, as well as how those issues relate to historical subjects we discuss throughout the semester.

Spring 2006
This course, Women’s Studies 215, “Images of Women in Literature:
Fiction, Poetry, and Drama,” focuses on literature written by women,
and the course goal is for students to gain a broad knowledge of women’s
writing while learning the circumstances and challenges of female authorship. The
virtual course component allows students to understand the complexities
of a literary marketplace in order to read literature written by women
with a sharper critical eye. This course component has four parts:
1) women writing about literature, 2) women writing in
the context of male authors, 3) women writing in the context of female
authors, and 4) women writing under a male pseudonym. Students post their
projects to a virtual newspaper, salon, and publishing space.

Spring 2006
Mathematical Reasoning, MAT 113, fulfills the requirement
of mathematical proficiency expected before graduation
for many UT students. In
a recent redesign of the course, the change of focus has
gone from equations to mathematical ideas, with the aim
of improving both algebraic and logical reasoning skills through studying
various results in mathematics. A virtual component will include an area
for questions and discussion of these new mathematical topics. Online@UT
is incorporated for discussions and weekly quizzes to aid student understanding,
