title: Is there a place for Phil Donahue in the classroom?
abstract: The novel approach of using the Phil Donahue television talk show model in the classroom was successful for us. The model worked well with a panel of guests providing content and the faculty member moderating and directing the discussion by targeting questions and limiting and/or expanding responses as dictated by the objectives for the class. We hypothesize that the Johnny Carson format, where a single guest speaker is interviewed by a faculty member, also would produce excellent results. We encourage colleagues to be creative and experiment in the classroom.
