Commission evaluates tenets of undergrad experience
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers a commission reviewing undergraduate education at Hopkins.
- The News-Letter reported that CUE2 had worked since April to assess undergraduate education and develop a report on the values and qualities of a Hopkins education.
- The paper reported that the commission’s work includes reviewing curriculum, modern teaching and learning, technology’s role and whether students should have shared academic experiences without a core curriculum; Janet Schreck said most students oppose extra course requirements.
- The article says the commission has worked with the SGA through regular meetings, a student focus group, a website for submissions and two public “coffee chats.”
- The reporter writes that an initial report is expected by the end of fall 2018, followed by feedback before the final report; Ed Schlesinger said accepted recommendations would have implementation processes.
- The News-Letter reported that 75 to 80 percent of the first commission’s recommendations had been implemented, while Schlesinger said prioritising the new recommendations would be a challenge.
