Reflecting   on General Education  

Prepare: Start by reviewing General Education   Curriculum found in “Section Five: General   Academic Information and Policies” in the Ashford University Academic Catalog, which addresses the core competencies that the general   education courses must cover: Applied Ethics, Communication, Information   Technology, Critical Thinking, and Quantitative Reasoning.

 

Reflect: Think about the core competencies as previously mentioned   and ponder on your time taking general education courses. Reflect on the   specific courses not associated with your college major and determine the   level of new information you have acquired that relates to the core   competencies.

 

Write: Explain what you have learned about the principles guiding   general education from this course and the courses you have taken in the   past: 

• What are the most important concepts you have learned        (a) from this course and (b) throughout your time as a university        student?
• Why do you think obtaining knowledge from general        education courses is important?
• What are your plans for putting your education to use        within your community?
• How might your newly acquired knowledge and skills        shape your personal and professional development?
• Support your claims with examples from required        material(s) or at least two scholarly sources, and properly cite any        references.
• Your initial post should be at least 250 words in        length.

 

Respond to Peers: Review your classmates’ posts, and respond to at least   two of your peers by Day 7. In your responses, provided feedback on the value   of general education and comment on your own unique experiences in relation   to the more memorable lessons learned through general education courses. Each   participation post should be a minimum of 75 words.
