Volume 32 (2020)

Outgoing Editor's Note: Joseph P. Mazer

The articles presented in Volume 32 encompass a wide range of topics that advance our understanding of basic course pedagogy, practice, and administration.

For the Basic Course Forum, contributors were asked to highlight best practices for recruiting to and/or from the basic course. In the section’s three essays, scholars address best practices for recruiting students from the basic course and the need to cultivate assistant basic course director positions to be more intentional and deliberate in recruiting and nurturing a pipeline of future course directors.

The publication of Volume 32 completes my three-year term as editor. The journal is now in the very capable hands of Brandi Frisby of the University of Kentucky. Under her leadership, I am confident that we will continue to publish the best scholarship on our discipline’s introductory course.
