Room 18: For each element of the proposed curriculum (A-C): 1) what works, 2) what value students will get, and 3) suggestions for refinements/improvement.

Shouldn't these be divided between social sciences, humanities, and fine arts or something like that?]]> 2021-09-24 14:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765880221 I was wondering if creativity and imagination are competencies that are considered as part of general education, they are basis for inquiry and discovery https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765892512 2021-09-24 14:53:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765892512 for major courses that have gen ed embedded, how do we ensure SLOs or other requirements of the themes are mapped into the course (e.g., DTSC 1302 as current Social Science) https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765895144 2021-09-24 14:54:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765895144 I have a concern about the idea that these new themes will be distributed among existing LBST courses. I think ALL units must offer at least 1 theme course. https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765895711 2021-09-24 14:54:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765895711 Math/Science https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765897745 I am concerned that we are reducing our math and science requirements by one course. Surely the past year and a half have taught us that math illiteracy and science illiteracy have consequences for our ability to deal with crises like a pandemic.]]> 2021-09-24 14:55:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765897745 If one of our goals is to prepare students for the workforce, then we need to consider career competencies: communication, critical thinking, diversity, equity and inclusion, leadership, professionalism, self awareness, teamwork, and technology https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765898535 2021-09-24 14:55:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765898535 https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765918826 should we strive to have broad broad participation?  does this conflict with the balanced distribution of credits? some students may end up not taking any CLAS courses?

The proposal mentions that students must explore "ways of knowing". What does this mean and how do we measure it? https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765965782 2021-09-24 15:20:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765965782 What do we want students to be able to DO in terms of equity, culture, identity. It seems we can not move forward without well written SLOs https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765967417 2021-09-24 15:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765967417 Alignment of SLOs must be constructed between courses that intersect in these themes. https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765969878 2021-09-24 15:22:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jmrobin2/vc4mwlsqz1hivkfj/wish/1765969878
