CUE2 finalizes recommendations for undergraduate learning
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 phrase “student government”.
Summary
- This News-Letter article covers CUE2’s final recommendations for undergraduate education.
- The News-Letter reported that CUE2 released its final report on Nov. 20 and included 30 faculty, staff, administrators, undergraduates and alumni.
- The paper reported that SGA Junior Class President Nathan Mudrak said student feedback was considered and that he hoped to keep working with CUE2.
- The article says CUE2’s co-chairs wrote that the recommendations were especially important after COVID-19 and amid social conflict.
- The reporter writes that the report recommends replacing distribution requirements with six foundational abilities and requiring a first-year seminar taught by full-time faculty.
- According to the article, students would be able to take a “Hopkins semester” for an internship or research project, while at least 33% of their classes would be outside their major requirements.
- The paper adds that CUE2 recommended giving each student a faculty mentor and Life Design Lab coach, and reforming how teaching and mentoring are assessed.
