  • Description: The government of Brazil was creating a new university in the country’s capital, Brasilia, and the founders had asked Azzi and Bori — then faculty members at the University of Sao Paulo, along with their American colleagues Keller and Sherman — to create a department of psychology. PSI courses were taught at a great number of American institutions, from prestigious universities (MIT, Georgetown) to large state campuses (University of Texas, State University of New York) to small liberal-arts colleges (Bucknell, Kalamazoo). (PSI calls to mind a later trend, competency-based education, but that is more common in schools and online courses than in nonprofit higher education.) PSI was simply too different from traditional courses. With increasing numbers of first-generation students, international students, and English-language learners in college classrooms, can we be sure that our idea of the average student matches up with the people we’re teaching?
