Our open discussions in November were attended by over one hundred faculty and staff colleagues who spent time engaging in dialogue about what we want our students to be able to know and do, regardless of major. They generated much raw material that we can continue to shape and sort during the spring semester to arrive at a set of common student learning outcomes for all Clemson undergraduate students.
Our January 18 collaborative workshop provided an opportunity for colleagues to work on this sorting and shaping task.
For those who could not attend the workshop in person, we have an online survey that will allow you to sort and categorize the ideas related to student learning outcomes. The link is here (link expired), and colleagues are asked to complete the task prior to January 24 at 5 p.m.
[Copies of the materials from the January 18 collaborative workshop are available by contacting Trogden@Clemson.edu.]
The qualitative data generated will be used by the general education task force to shape our featured weeks on potential student learning outcomes in Phase 3 this semester.
The general education task force looks forward to receiving your responses, your comments (via the comment feature below), and guiding this collaborative process of delivering an excellent foundational education to our students.
