Is there a place for Phil Donahue in the classroom?
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.
