  5. General Education Distribution • Purpose: Update General Education Distribution • Draft English Composition and Communications Definition GRCC defines English Composition as the act of writing effectively for various audiences, purposes, and contexts as well as the study of written discourse. GRCC defines Communications as the study of how people use messages to generate meaning in contexts and situations such as personal and professional settings as well as across cultures and in the media. Writing and speaking occurs in a wide variety of modalities to communicate purpose and meaning to an array of audiences. Students will understand writing and speaking as ways to communicate with specific audiences for specific purposes. As communicators, students will learn to better understand themselves and the world, emerging as effective writers, speakers, listeners, and critical thinkers. The acts of writing and speaking empower students to enter into and engage existing conversations in meaningful, ethical, and informed ways.

  6. General Education Distribution • Purpose: Update General Education Distribution • Draft English Composition and Communications Outcomes • Create written or verbal communication for diverse audiences in various contexts. • Apply effective strategies to analyze and improve written, verbal, or nonverbal communication. • Demonstrate the use of research strategies to gather information. • Select and integrate relevant sources to enhance writing, thinking, or speaking. • Construct papers, projects, or speeches through recursive and reflective practices. • Explain and apply communication theories, principles, or concepts. • Assess self or peers’ use of effective communication principles and strategies.

  7. General Education Distribution • Purpose: Update General Education Distribution • Draft Mathematics Definition GRCC defines Mathematics as learning mathematical concepts and developing analytical skills to stimulate curiosity, encourage quantitative thinking, and develop mathematical maturity. Students will learn mathematical reasoning and experience some of its application. This mathematical thinking contributes to the students’ development as critical thinkers; and in turn, students understand how mathematical reasoning is a uniquely effective method of describing and analyzing the human experience.

  8. General Education Distribution • Purpose: Update General Education Distribution • Addition of Mathematics Definition and Outcomes • Draft Mathematics Outcomes • Interpret results from quantitative solutions. • Evaluate information presented in verbal, tabular, symbolic, or graphical form. • Analyze problems to identify appropriate methods with which to solve problems. • Discern relevant and irrelevant information to solve problems. • Utilize problem-solving strategies and/or techniques to find quantitative solutions.

  9. General Education Distribution • Purpose: Update General Education Distribution • Addition of Mathematics Definition and Outcomes • Draft Mathematics Outcomes • Relate information across verbal, tabular, symbolic, or graphical forms. • Utilize evidence-based writing to support conclusions. • Formulate mathematical models to describe phenomena. • Communicate mathematics effectively in oral and/or written form.

  10. General Education Distribution • Purpose: Update General Education Distribution • Removal of Wellness Definition and Outcomes • Align General Education Distribution with updated Graduation Requirements Policy (7.20) • Clarify that Wellness is not a General Education Distribution Area
