The generic prompt: Student selects the assignment in the course that best demonstrates critical thinking and submits a justification of that choice.
Developing your own prompt: The instructor designs a course-specific scenario or problem in which there is a possibility of multiple answers. The student addresses the course-specific scenario or problem by taking a position. The student then submits a justification of that position or choice.

What to expect...
What to expect...
An email first day of faculty being back on contract shares some context of General Education. This email is followed by a procedural email by the General Education Learning Outcome Assessment Committee.
We ask faculty to "assign" the assignment in the second half of their GER course. We make it easy by emailing faculty the assignment to add to their courses in whatever way works.
Students will submit the assignment through a provided link.
Faculty will be given a list of who turned in the assignment and they may, if they wish, provide extra credit, incorporate the assignment into their grading, or just review the assignments to assess student learning on their own, but they are not required to do any of those things.
We do not expect additional graded labor.
