Among the topics she covered were curriculum design, syllabus design, selecting readings and assignments, grading schemes, and encouraging student interaction. Since returning home to the U.S., Professor Deloughery has been in contact with a number of MSU conference participants. “Several of the professors I spoke with are planning on implementing textbooks more commonly used at U.S. universities; others are looking into using some of the simulations and case studies that we use in our classes here at Rockefeller,” said Deloughery. “The students, faculty, and staff at Moscow State University were wonderful hosts and planned several sightseeing excursions for me during my time in Moscow. I look forward to August when three representatives from Moscow State will be visiting UAlbany to continue our conversation about a possible Russian-American academic collaboration,” she added.
