College may use Rollins Conference Plan in fall

Abstract

A new method of teaching, patterned after a plan used by Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, was considered by the Youngstown College administration. Called the Rollins Conference Plan, the method replaced the standard one-hour lecture and accompanying outside assignments with a two-hour format. During the first hour, students would prepare presentations for their professors. Discussions between faculty members and students would take place during the second hour around a common table.
