Potential synergies Themes and Competencies

# data[].attributes.body
I see "Themes" as composing the knowledge and perspectives we hope to develop in our students.  I see the "Competencies" as skills and abilities in development throughout the academic program.  I think, however, that "Competencies" is NOT the right word.  Why not use something like "Skills/Abilities" -- very simply or perhaps learning "Experiences"??

Seems like the competencies come first - what do we want students to know, skills, etc? Then, what courses/themes/curriculum might get us there.

Is there data around how we are doing with the communication and critical thinking competencies in LBST2301?
