Decoding the disciplines

"The Indiana University Faculty Learning Community realized that the mental operations required of undergraduates differ enormously from discipline to discipline and that these ways of thinking are rarely presented to students explicitly. IUFLC fellows from fields as diverse as creative writing, marketing, and genetics and as knowledgeable about their research areas as few people in the world, began to explore how students learn this content. The Decoding the Disciplines model takes advantage of the differences in thinking among academic fields to decode each individual discipline."--Jacket.
