Room 3: For each element of the proposed curriculum (A-C): 1) what works, 2) what value students will get, and 3) suggestions for refinements/improvement.

For example, looking at diverse archival sources in history, not just statistics, could be "data" review. https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/e9kq08awu4chs8nj/wish/1764058990 2021-09-23 21:00:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/e9kq08awu4chs8nj/wish/1764058990 Going off of the last comment, could "Quantitative/Data Analysis" become "data literacy" to be more expansive and less exclusive on what is meant by "data"? https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/e9kq08awu4chs8nj/wish/1764062951 2021-09-23 21:04:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/e9kq08awu4chs8nj/wish/1764062951 https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/e9kq08awu4chs8nj/wish/1764064741 Perhaps separate out critical thinking, communication, and intercultural from quantitative/data analysis. The competencies of critical thinking, communication, and intercultural take time to develop. Or separate these out into three sets of competencies or four sets. Grouping them together might not be easily manageable. ]]> 2021-09-23 21:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/e9kq08awu4chs8nj/wish/1764064741 https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/e9kq08awu4chs8nj/wish/1764068118 Intercultural is best measured over time, not necessarily or easily captured in one course or one semester. What is the means by which intercultural competencies will be measured? And intercultural needs to be taught, so will there be "training" for faculty to learn about and how to teach intercultural competencies? ]]> 2021-09-23 21:08:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/e9kq08awu4chs8nj/wish/1764068118 Problem Solving/Troubleshooting https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/e9kq08awu4chs8nj/wish/1764072946 2021-09-23 21:12:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/e9kq08awu4chs8nj/wish/1764072946 How will these changes impact the reach of AP or transfer credit? https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/e9kq08awu4chs8nj/wish/1764081260 2021-09-23 21:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/e9kq08awu4chs8nj/wish/1764081260 https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/e9kq08awu4chs8nj/wish/1764129841 Avoid "double dipping" Foundations courses with other gen ed requirements. ]]> 2021-09-23 22:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/e9kq08awu4chs8nj/wish/1764129841 https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/e9kq08awu4chs8nj/wish/1764133772 "Community" hints at the idea of belonging, which aligns well with equity and identity at the local level.
