评估通识教育计划

FSU is committed to continuous improvement of the GEP through the process of assessment. Currently FSU assesses the GEP through six learning objectives that map back to the four GEP Learning Goals:

- 1. 书面沟通——核心技能
  2. 口语交流——核心技能
  3. 定量推理——核心技能
  4. Critical Thinking - Liberal knowledge and 技能 of inquiry, critical thinking, and synthesis
  5. 价值观与社会责任
  6. 文化身份鉴赏

在每个评估周期, each objective is adopted by an academic department or program to be assessed based on a faculty-designed rubric. Assessment results and reports are available on the 通识教育课程 Review Canvas Course.

重新构想通识教育计划

Based on assessment and national best practices for General Education and in alignment with FSU’s 战略计划, the GEP at FSU is being re-envisioned to provide a high-quality educational experience for today’s students focused on FSU’s mission and core values. This effort is being coordinated by the 通识教育课程 Review Committee, a faculty-led committee with broad representation from all three colleges, 图书馆, 学生会协会, 以及学生支持办公室. We have completed two major milestones and are in the process of finalizing new learning goals and outcomes to inform the curricular design phase.
