At UT-Austin, our courses rely heavily on discussions of contemporary events in the news to illustrate core instructional concepts. Student surveys consistently report these segments as the favorite components of our introductory courses. With assistance from Liberal Arts Instructional Technology Services (LAITS) at UT-Austin, we created a dedicated YouTube page that hosts these lectures. We typically provide about 6 such updates in both the Fall and Spring semesters.
