Wed like to share with you now the changes we have made to the cluster requirement specifically that take into consideration the feedback we received at the last FA and since. We have developed categories that reflect that feedback while keeping in mind what we have learned over the past three years. These changes address many of your concerns without losing the intention of interdisciplinarity and collaboration. We will have a final report by early May. Distribution Categories Culture & CreativityValues & EthicsSystems & Society Courses in this category fulfill the following goals:Courses in this category fulfill the following goals:Courses in this category fulfill the following goals:Critically engage with the products of culture, through interpretation or creative expression. Critically interpret history and society. Question assumptions about individual and group identity. Analyze ethical implications of the global distribution of power and resources. Question assumptions about individual and group identity. Practice reflective inter/intra-personal skills. Demonstrate logic and reasoning skills.Apply methods of scientific* inquiry effectively. Analyze ethical implications of the global distribution of power and resources. Engage cooperatively and compassionately with diverse communities locally, nationally and globally.*social science or science Building on Keystone learning outcomes: Learning outcomes introduced in the keystone courses are repeated here. The intention is to provide students with an opportunity to reinforce what they have learned in new situations. Foster Collaboration: We plan to encourage faculty who submit courses to create deliberate linkages between your course and course/s in the other categories. We hope cluster-esque experiences grow organically and want to encourage that. Double counting Courses in these categories would come from areas that are currently requirements in majors, school cores, and minors. This would address the concerns about making the GE smaller. Even in large majors (ASB, TAS), double counting is possible. Having said that, these are general education classes, so courses can only have prerequisites that are part of the required Keystone Courses or class standing. We want to avoid having courses in GE that, in effect, are only open to majors. Intercultural/International/Sustainable We have not abandoned the Pillars. Each category has learning outcomes that meaningfully address the values of the pillars. Minors Courses in these categories could double-count with many, perhaps all minors. As a group, they still ensure that students are meeting the specific learning outcomes attached to each category, something not achievable by requiring any minor. Criteria for Courses in GE Like all of GE, courses submitted for consideration must include in the syllabus GE-specific learning outcomes linked to assignments. Courses will mainly be 200 level. Some 300 level may be allowed under certain circumstances. (i.e. prereq. from keystone or class standing) There will be fewer courses in each category, but enough to meet the demand. Governance Courses in the categories will be revisited and reevaluated every three years, potentially linked with the assessment cycle. One member of GECCo should be assigned supervision of one of the categories with reassign time (3 supervisors in total). Courses must address learning outcomes or lose GE status. Clarification about the Language Requirement Students take a placement test. Students who test into Intermediate I or lower take ONE COURSE: either Foundations I, Foundations II or Intermediate I. If they test above Intermediate I, they have fulfilled the language requirement. Data from SSHGS for the past six years indicated that approximately 40% of students test out.
