EXL 300 (1 course-credit)
Cross-Cultural Learning, Theory & Practice
2003-2015
EXL 300 (Cross-Cultural Learning, Theory & Practice) was a pilot project that I designed in fall 2003. It was formally introduced into the Allegheny College Course Catalog in 2005. The course, which I taught from 2003-2015, was mandatory for all students registered in Allegheny College-sponsored semester or year-long study away/ study abroad programs. EXL 300 had pre-departure, on-site, and re-entry components with several reflection opportunities such as student blogs, research papers, poster presentations for wider audiences, and digital stories.
