Where Are We Now?

May 15, 2019

Where are we now with the general education curriculum re-envisioning?

A general education curriculum is not just a list of courses, so the faculty General Education Committee worked over academic year 2018-2019 on a number of tasks that will help guide teaching, learning, and assessment for our students.

Here are 4 things for all Clemson faculty (and staff and students and other interested parties) to know!

The General Education Committee has:

1. Navigated the approval of new student learning outcomes and rubrics for disciplinary & communication areas of the general education curriculum, effective in fall 2019. (Link, also in AY 19-20 Undergraduate Catalog.) These revised student learning outcomes should be in syllabi and will be part of assessment.
2. Created a comprehensive and regular assessment plan for the general education curriculum. (Link.)
3. Implemented a faculty development series with OTEI on assignment design and connection to new student learning outcomes and rubrics. (Link.)
4. Worked on a proposal for a new general education program structure, to be discussed at a faculty retreat August 15, 2019 and throughout fall 2019.

Stay tuned for information about the August 15 retreat and talk to your General Education Committee colleagues any time!
