Learning Goals

Addendum: Effective March 9, 2016, in compliance with changes made by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, courses that satisfy the critical thinking, US perspectives, and global perspectives learning goals are no longer required for graduation.

Critical Thinking, US Perspectives, and Global Perspectives

Critical Thinking (This requirement is fulfilled through the institution's critical thinking plan.)

Outcomes: Students will be able to use appropriate tools to a. Implement effective search strategies. b. Evaluate sources for relevance, authority, and format (primary vs. secondary sources, scholarly vs. popular, print vs. online). Students will be able to effectively explain and analyze evidence in support of an argument. Students will be able to form logical conclusions from information presented.

Georgia College's institutional critical thinking plan includes completion of ENGL 1101 English Composition I and GC1Y 1000 Critical Thinking. As a part of this plan, Georgia College also conducts the Collegiate Learning Assessment as part of its participation in the Voluntary System of Accountability, and conducts an annual assessment of degree program goals through the Assessment Planning Record.

Outcome: Students will be able to evaluate the diverse responses of peoples, groups, and cultures within the United States to historic and/or contemporary issues, themes, or topics that impact the United States.
