team teaching courses

[Jon Monroe]

Plant-eders,

Well it seems we're in the June to August time when there are fewer 
legitimate postings to Plant-ed...  Maybe a curriculum conversation 
will help us to ignore the spam!

We are contemplating a major change (the first in countless years) 
which will probably involve going from taxon-based first year courses 
(Botany and Zoology) to process-based courses (e.g Structure and 
Function of Organisms, Evolution and Ecology...).  In order to 
represent all taxa in these courses it may be necessary to teach them 
as teams but that can create problems for students.  Can anyone share 
how they solved those problems?

Thanks.

Jon
