This document is a brief discussion of issues for Gen Ed reform from conversations in the Fall of 2023.
Month: July 2024
We had three hours with faculty during Spring Quarter Campus Community Day. We launched new Institutional Learning Outcome (ILO) working groups for 6 new ILOs at this meeting. These were as follows:
- Cultural Diversity
- Critical Thinking
- Information Literacy
- Quantitative Reasoning
- Communication
- Sustainability
These working groups met several times over Spring Quarter. A potential 7th, Creative Thinking, was also considered later in the quarter.
