| Abstract: | Evaluations of the interim term or 4-1-4 program at various colleges have been generally favorable. A detailed evaluation of the Rider College interim study program (ISP) based on faculty and student reports was also generally favorable but indicated that the more non-traditionally oriented courses, such as travel or off-campus study, were rated higher than the more traditional offerings, such as lectures or library projects. ISPs which required little time or effort on the part of students were rated poorly. Many of the faculty felt that the program had given them a deeper involvement with students and had allowed them to offer material they may not have offered during the regular semester, or to teach in a different way. |
