Think / Pair / Share Activity

  • Mark:  Place an “X” next to items that are taught in our gen ed requirements.  Place an “O” next to items that are taught in your major.  (You will see an “XO next to items that are taught in both places).
  • Discuss:  In what areas are St. Ed’s grads getting best prepared, and where may they be lacking?
  • Consider: Is anything missing? Is anything listed unnecessarily? Should anything be reframed?
