This course has been cancelled for Fall 2017.
Instructor: Joseph Madaus
While this is not an Honors course, Prof. Madaus welcomes Honors students of all levels and majors and encourages Honors conversions. If you do not have sophomore standing or the PSYC 1100 prerequisite, email honors@uconn.edu for a permission number.
Introduces students to special education in American schools, including the variety of ways services are provided, the types of professionals working within special education, characteristics of different learners, and current issues in special education. It will be a 2000 level course next year, and as such is really designed for freshmen and sophomores who might have an interest in education.
