| 10/12/2018 | 11/17/2018 | | The General Education program was designed by the faculty to offer our students the knowledge, skills and values that are associated with a liberal education, as articulated in the learning goals for all students at the college. Some faculty members participate in General Education directly through courses that we teach in the program, but all of us are working towards the Gen Ed learning goals throughout the curriculum. When we work with students to help them develop writing skills appropriate to their majors, we are part of Writing in the Discipline. When we teach our students to think critically about a problem in our discipline, we are furthering the “critical thinking” outcome. When we have students work in groups, we are helping them to improve their “collaborative work” skills. You get the idea... To learn more, come to an informative and interactive session on Friday, Nov. 16, from 10-11:30 a.m. at the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning in Adams Library 406. This workshop is presented by Maureen Reddy, chair of the committee that designed the program and coordinator of the First Year Seminar Program; and James Magyar, chair of the Committee on General Education at the FCTL. | | | No |
