Each gen-ed iteration is a significant shift in terms of advising and degree planning. From that perspective, stability with gen-ed is a good thing.]]> 2021-04-08 20:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/bts7ou2gl0ngfzk7/wish/1397637535 What is not to like? Concerned about themes reflecting current situation and may change quickly to something else; https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/bts7ou2gl0ngfzk7/wish/1397644939 2021-04-08 20:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/bts7ou2gl0ngfzk7/wish/1397644939 https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/bts7ou2gl0ngfzk7/wish/1397650181 Its not clear to me how to make this operational.  Theme centered core courses?

Creation of new knowledge is a global endeavor and collaborative work is critical to success. ]]> 2021-04-08 20:30:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/bts7ou2gl0ngfzk7/wish/1397653612 https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/bts7ou2gl0ngfzk7/wish/1397659877 how can internships be included in gen ed?]]> 2021-04-08 20:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/bts7ou2gl0ngfzk7/wish/1397659877 https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/bts7ou2gl0ngfzk7/wish/1397659946 Stability in gen-ed requirements is important. Changing course options is simple, but changing categories of requirements - organized by themes and/or competencies - is a heavier lift.]]> 2021-04-08 20:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/bts7ou2gl0ngfzk7/wish/1397659946 Class size needs to be reasonable for assessment of critical thinking and communication. Big Gen Ed classes don't allow for developing these competencies. https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/bts7ou2gl0ngfzk7/wish/1397663538 2021-04-08 20:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/bts7ou2gl0ngfzk7/wish/1397663538 All four examples should be there; Add data analysis (need to have a good term for this competency)? https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/bts7ou2gl0ngfzk7/wish/1397665067 2021-04-08 20:34:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/bts7ou2gl0ngfzk7/wish/1397665067 how can study abroad be included in Gen Ed? https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/bts7ou2gl0ngfzk7/wish/1397666753 2021-04-08 20:35:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/bts7ou2gl0ngfzk7/wish/1397666753 https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/bts7ou2gl0ngfzk7/wish/1397676704 Financial literacy - Need to include elements of students' use of finances, like student loans, etc; ]]> 2021-04-08 20:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/bts7ou2gl0ngfzk7/wish/1397676704 I like quantitative literacy and think it is an important competence.
