Share your thoughts on the draft UHCC-wide definition of Gen Ed!
One of the tasks undertaken by the UHCC Gen Ed Inquiry Team was to create a definition of General Education that could be adopted across all UHCC campuses. The goal was to make the definition simple, clear, and student-friendly. This draft definition was crafted based on previous survey input from administrators, faculty, lecturers, staff, and students from all seven campuses, totaling over 200 responses / 12,000 words. Here’s what the Team, with a little help from ChatGPT, came up with:
The goal of General Education is to create well-rounded individuals who are equipped to navigate a complex and diverse world, with skills and knowledge that extend beyond their chosen majors.
What do you think? Please provide your feedback on this draft definition by March 31, 2024. Feedback will be used to revise the definition as necessary.
Thanks, as always, for your input!
