A general sense of frustration over program fragmentation was voiced. Ways to better develop our students' research and writing skills, in specific ways delineated in our learning objectives, so they can integrate them into sustained pieces of analysis in capstone courses, as well as apply them to such extracurricular learning experiences as internships and service learning. We have concluded that, while we wish to continue to offer this course in the future, it would not be prudent to require it for all majors. Several faculty incorporating their G-LOOP course profiles of learning objectives and outcomes into pedagogy and course assessment. Would include re-assessing concentrations and certificate programs.
Revise undergraduate major requirements.
Senior seminars, capstone courses, senior essays would still be required, but would be an intermediate step Support for the writing of learning objectives and outcomes for the introductory interdisciplinary social science course, as well as for follow-on assistance in course assessment, linked to original learning objectives and outcomes. Roth would act in this capacity under the direction of Project Coordinator Betty Schmitz.
