    College offers classes with nontraditional course designs

    As college students, we’ve been in school for as long as we can remember. Over time, taking notes during class and studying for exams has become a routine.

GRAD alumna Kimberly Rose Clark (’04) taps into our local and global Dartmouth community and nimbly brings her research industry’s network and expertise to the Consumer Neuroscience course she teaches in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences.
