Price, William F.; And Others
Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, v5 n2 p121-33 1994
North Country Community College (New York) implemented a model of general education specifying competencies to be achieved in liberal arts courses. Introductory psychology students were pre- and posttested on competencies of knowledge (objective and subjective), critical thinking, and writing, using an objective test and essay. Significant gains were found. The methodology can be applied across the liberal arts curriculum. (Author/MSE)
