More generally, I just went out to this wiki to fool around and see what was there for the first time today and I find it extremely unfriendly to navigate -- it is difficult to figure out how to leave the home page that's just generic info about wikis. In order to get to these more interesting discussions, I clicked on "comments" and then clicked on the topics...
Don't even know if you'll get this, so I think I will also cut and paste and send to you as an email.

All of this is driven by so many forces, including the passion of the teacher/mentor. So how do we guarantee that? Assume that we approve a course, and then we let it go at that and have all sorts of folks teach the course. The course, on paper, may really look as if it does the job, but without a teacher/mentor who can make it live; well, it won't do the job. I remember taking English at North Texas with Arthur Sampley, and I learned much about appreciating poetry. Other teachers in like courses were well below his mark. Cecil Shuford and Keith Shelton made journalism "live" and Merle Bonney made abnormal psychology "live" and so on. I'll skip the "dead" courses. So how do we measure outcomes or use metrics on such classes?

Here's the deal: Before a department can add any course to the core (so sad about those required by state law that have no metrics for teachers), then the department MUST promise to the committee that it will ensure the best, most engaged and engaging tea]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 09:33:36 +0000 com http://untcoretaskforce.pbwiki.com/Critical+Thinking email.hidden@example.com (wells) wells commented on Critical Thinking The caveat is that to use the term "critical thinking" is to be trendy. That is, people bandy about the idea, but most don't have a clue as to the process of critical thinking. It's easy to say that a given course provides students with a challenge to think critically, it's not so easy to prove that. What many people believe is critical thinking is perhaps creative thinking, analysis, etc. In reality, those things are parts of the critical thinking process. We really need to work this through so people understand the complete process before just willy-nilly throwing in the term.]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 09:23:15 +0000 com http://untcoretaskforce.pbwiki.com/Current+List+of+Objectives email.hidden@example.com (celia) celia edited Current List of Objectives As a result of their experience with the core curriculum, UNT graduates will:
