“ Expand students’ ability to communicate effectively both orally and in writing as well as through creative expression. “
This excerpt from Section IV Core Curriculum Objectives, of the UNE CORE Handbook definitely sums up most of my classes this semester in many ways. With one of my classes being in seminar style, we are expressing and contributing orally every class. A few of my classes this semester also have regular “Class Reflections”, at the end of each class period therefore allowing students to practice their writing skills and communication. Finally, as an Art & Design Media major I am utilizing creative expression probably the most out of these three aspects. Overall I think this style of curriculum allows students to become more well rounded academically by challenging them in different ways.
- Section II talks about “extra-curricular activities that reinforce core themes”, what are some of these activities?
- Section III talks about 4 themes. I was wondering how/if in some ways “Environmental Awareness” and “Social and Global Awareness” could go hand in hand or relate?
