College Teaching
Courses Developed (Texas A&M University)
Romero, E. W., & Lau, M. (2001). Co-developed “Minority Recruitment and Leadership” course. The class provided information to students who were willing to consider recruiting opportunities to ethnic minorities in high schools. The class focused on College majors, University information from admissions to financial aid, and taught communication and leadership skills. The course was initially taught as AGED 485 in the Fall 2001 and was one credit hour. When the course was taught in the Fall 2002 as AGED 380 it was two credit hours as per student’s recommendations. The course was developed with no compensation for teaching and was successful based on student surveys.
Townsend, J., & Romero, E. W., (2003). Co-developed a “Special Topics in Student Retention” course. The course was developed for students with academic deficiencies. The course helped students on academic probation improve/learn study habits and cause positive change in their behavior in order to improve academic achievement. A colleague was considered professor of record but the class was team-taught. The course was taught as AGLS 489 and was one credit.
Teaching Activities(Texas A&M University)
- Course AGLS 489 was team-taught and the survey results went to the professor of record.
- Course AGED 485 was taught under a different professor’s name due to the late notice of the class on the roster and no survey was sent to me.
- No compensation was provided for teaching the courses but courses were taught because a need persisted with the students, but due to time constraints and other job responsibilities, teaching of the courses were terminated despite student requests to continue the courses.
