What good are students’ general-education backgrounds if they are not what was intend- ed? Few things will upset students more than to find out they have trudged through an ardu- ous course, scraped by with a C and learned that they didn’t really need it in the first place. The workshop defined a number of prob- lems that have arisen repeatedly with the core courses, including the scarcity of seats in indi- vidual classes and the writing ability of some students. The university would tend to shy away from allowing too many more students into the classes. The alternative, adding more sections for popular core courses, may cost more money – or perhaps prevent faculty members from teaching some of the more specialized courses with small classroom sizes. Good writing seems inherent in the original goals of the integrated core, which include lit- eracy and reasoning ability. If writing skills are a growing problem, the university could consider evaluating students’ writing beyond beginning English courses and the writing competency exam and go further than assuring that core courses include writing assignments. The workshop helped point out the problems Same people who hate stand up for what you believe in the in the integrated core curriculum – the first your turn face of adversity, but you cannot repay labels have labeled all offending words with offending step toward solving an education program words. skewed from its original intentions.
