They're also not flexible enough to accommodate other emerging concerns, such as democracy/authoritarianism. Finally, they will make handling transfer credit more difficult. The themes themselves may give us enough of a guide. ]]> 2021-09-24 14:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/ey0mxw75rcpxd3h4/wish/1765907020 https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/ey0mxw75rcpxd3h4/wish/1765907276 historical aspects need a place in gen ed]]> 2021-09-24 14:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/ey0mxw75rcpxd3h4/wish/1765907276 Reduction in total units required https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/ey0mxw75rcpxd3h4/wish/1765908281 I like the idea of reducing 3 credits from the total gen ed curriculum.]]> 2021-09-24 14:59:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/ey0mxw75rcpxd3h4/wish/1765908281 It would be helpful to see "global" and "local" (and "intercultural") defined more clearly but also it is important to emphasize that "local" and "global" are interconnected categories, rather than imagining them in a binary. https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/ey0mxw75rcpxd3h4/wish/1765909079 2021-09-24 14:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/ey0mxw75rcpxd3h4/wish/1765909079 https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/ey0mxw75rcpxd3h4/wish/1765909321 finding a way to include areas that might be less "quantitative"

And goals could be accomplished through many departments. These courses could be linked to Themes too (depending on what data is analyzed), as long as we have some agreed-upon bottom line on the sophistication of analysis. The question is whether a hybrid course (communication + data analysis) could address topics like misinformation, information networks and spread...
