Graduate or Special Topics Courses: Course Development and Best Practices

We invite papers dealing with the design, development, and delivery of courses geared towards graduate or advanced undergraduate students. Such courses are typically centered on specialty areas which provide breadth of knowledge beyond the traditional core courses. Topics of interest include how to design such a course, best practices for delivering a course, how to engage students to advance their knowledge in areas of immediate interest, and pitfalls to avoid in developing a course. Papers highlighting engagement of students in non-traditional, active teaching methods are highly encouraged.
