Integration of Knowledge
9. Integration of Knowledge--The interrelationships between various areas
of knowledge are specifically explored, not left to the student to discover
by chance.
The Perspectives courses, which are to occur after students have completed
English Composition and half of the required core courses, are to incorporate
knowledge from two or more academic disciplines. Students are to propose
solutions to problems employing the techniques of more than one academic
discipline. Although the perception among some faculty is that too few
perspectives courses achieve this goal, many students feel that the goal has
been met. In a survey in the fall of 1995, students slightly agreed on
average (2.50 on a scale where 1= strongly agree and 5 = strongly disagree)
with the premise: "Perspectives courses have demonstrated how different
areas of knowledge relate and can be used in complementary ways."
