Yes OR No

If Yes the General Education tab is enabled and the following is required entry on that page:

Learning Outcomes, select all that apply and explain how the course meets this learning outcome in the next field.

Communicate effectively:All General Education courses include a component for writing; many also include a component for oral communication or presentation.

Critical thinking:Competence in analysis and logical argument are explicit learning goals for most General Education programs; although these skills go by a variety of names (e.g. evaluate arguments in a logical fashion, analysis, logical thinking, etc).

Problem solving:Employ the methods of inquiry characteristics of natural sciences, social sciences, and the arts and humanities: the tools for solving problems vary across disciplines; general education introduces students to methods of inquiry in several fields of study and thereby prepares students to integrate from different disciplines. This includes, but is not limited to, evaluating intellectual and artistic achievement, and knowledge of positive mental and physical health practices.

Diversity:Acquire an understanding of our global and diverse culture and society.

Citizenship & Democracy:Engage in our democratic society: one of the overarching goals of General Education is to prepare students to be active and informed citizens, the development of disposition to participate in and contribute to our democracy is full of equal importance to the goal of having the skills to do so intelligently.
