Other courses include art, music, literature and social sciences. The grant is. earmarked for paying faculty members who will participate in intensive training and the development of new courses in the A total of 143 faculty members will take part in the two-year program. THE FUNCTION OF the intensive training sessions is to help the faculty make the core work," said. Brooklyn College president Robert L.

Hess. "Our task now is to translate our plans and commitment to the core into teaching effectiveness. Faculty members participating in the project will attend two four-day sessions in June this year and the summer of 1983. During these sessions, they will talk about individual courses, the integration of the courses and the writing requirements necessary for each core course. "An essential part of the project involves the exposure of faculty to courses other than their own, in an effort to combine methods and materials in the core curriculum," said Ethyle R.

Wolfe, executive officer of the Brooklyn College Humanities Institute and the National Endowment for the Humanities project director. "An important portion of the summer training sessions will include lectures and discussions with this in mind." OTHER FACULTY MEMBERS will receive released time to plan the summer training sessions or to develop background materials for students to use in one of the core courses that focus on African, Asian and Latin American cultures. One of the summer sessions will concentrate exclusively on the development of trained cadres of multi-disciplinary teams for this course. The teams of three instructors each will bring together the specialized geographical, cultural and other expertise of the faculty into a unified course. Also to be considered during the project will be ways to handle the issue of acknowledged gaps in the core cur-, riculum engendered by credit limitations, as well as reassessment of individual courses and their methodologies.
