COSERE | 53 Group discussion: reach out to a peer, or peers, who belong to a different discipline than you. What are their experiences with interdisciplinary collaboration? What potential benefits do they foresee with interdisciplinary collaboration? What are they teaching their classes at the minute? How, if at all, do any of these topics overlap with a topic that you are currently working on? Does the potential for interdisciplinary collaboration exist as a result? Case Study: After implementing an interdisciplinary collaboration that saw biology students learning some writing best practices from a professor of English, “multiple students commented on finding the course so beneficial that they expressed a desire to have taken this course earlier in their academic career” (Colton & Surasinghe, 2014). https://ej.uz/7w85 • Do you find Colton and Surasinghe’s approach to education, demonstrated by their coteaching method, innovative? • Could you see a similar practice working in your own context? • What different disciplines do you think it would be easiest for you to incorporate alongside your own?
