The core curriculum of Shimer College is a sequence of 16 required courses humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and interdisciplinary In addition to required core classes, ''electives'' offer in-depth work in a particular subject, or basic skills instruction. ''Tutorials ''follow a similar protocol, but with only one or two students per course, and are similar in structure to the Oxford-Cambridge supervision system. == Pedagogy == Small seminars are sole form of instruction. Classes are composed of no more than twelve students, and read and discuss only original source material. Through a process Shimer internally calls "shared inquiry", "the text is the teacher, and thus the faculty member's role is to facilitate interaction between the text and the students",as well as between the students themselves. Readings are also organized by broad historical and philosophical themes, rather than conventional fields. Faculty are always addressed by first name. Teachers "facilitate" discussion, and therefore may talk little during actual class-time. Often teachers provide historical and relational information not available from other students or the text itself. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shimer College Core Program」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
