Description
How might high-impact practices at Bridgewater State University contribute to integrative learning across and between a revised core curriculum and our undergraduate departments and majors? Our well-established high impact practices, e.g. First-Year Seminar program, Writing Intensive Courses, Honors program, Undergraduate Research, and Capstone Courses, can both contribute to students’ cumulative learning and engage them across the curriculum. The Core Curriculum Steering Committee is interested in a discussion of how engaged teaching and learning, a hallmark of our institution, might serve as a way for students to understand their learning in an integrated way and better prepare them to apply their knowledge and research skills in graduate schools, in their careers and personal lives. This discussion, of interest to all faculty, will serve as a summative analysis of the work we have done this year to work cooperatively to brain storm what kind of revised core will best fit our needs.
