GENERAL EducatioN General Education at Illinois Wesleyan University strives to provide a foundation for a liberal education of quality and breadth through a continuously evolving program which fosters intellectual independence, critical thinking, imagination, social awareness, and sensitivity to others. These qualities of mind and character are developed through a coordinated academic and co-curricular program of active learning, problem solving, collaborative inquiry, and community involvement. In this environment, students pursue a course of study which leads to knowledge of the natural universe and the diverse realms of human experience. More specifically, General Education at Illinois Wesleyan is committed to the following goals:



• To develop students’ capacities for critical thinking, intellectual independence, and imagination by creating opportunities for active learning; • To develop students’ knowledge and understanding of the fundamental processes and relationships of nature and culture and their evolution over time; • To enable students to use formal methods of reasoning in problem solving; • To heighten students’ understanding of the diversity of cultures in our own society and the world; • To develop students’ capacities for expressing and communicating ideas in writing and orally, in English and in another language, and for using writing as a means of discovery and understanding; • To foster in students the ability to make and assess judgments of value in such areas as ethics, aesthetics, and public policy by encouraging them to frame questions of value, to explore alternative value systems, and to become informed, active citizens in public life; • To develop in students kinesthetic awareness, personal fitness, and lifelong habits of healthy living; • To bring the world to campus and students to the world through varied combinations of co-curricular programming, travel and service to the community.

Students are given the opportunity to achieve the goals of General Education through a sequence of course Category offerings, Course Flags, and other requirements which are outlined on the following pages.

GENERAL EDUCATION POLICIES AND GUIDELINES In planning a course of study to complete these category and flag requirements, students should take into account the following policies: • A course may count for both a General Education and a major or minor requirement, but may not be counted toward both a major and minor requirement or toward requirements for two different majors.

81

General Education



• No General Education unit or flag courses may be taken on a Credit/No Credit basis. • No course unit may be counted toward more than one General Education category requirement. However, a single course may count for both a General Education category and a flag. • No more than 2 General Education category requirements may come from a single department or school, not counting Gateway Colloquia and language instruction courses (101, 102) or 201 language level placement. • No more than 2 units of “D” work may be counted toward General Education credit. • One of the two required Writing Intensive courses must be completed by the end of the sophomore year. • No activity course in Physical Education may be repeated for credit.

For students who desire to submit Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and/or transfer credit to fulfill the requirements of the General Education Program, the following guidelines also apply: • The Registrar, in consultation with the Associate Dean, shall evaluate all requests for transfer credit for General Education courses and flags. Advanced Placement exam and International Baccalaureate exam credits will be processed by the Registrar. • Once he/she has enrolled at IWU, a student can earn no more than 4 units of General Education Credit through a combination of Advanced Placement exam credits, International Baccalaureate exam credits and courses transferred from other institutions, except for courses in approved off-campus study programs. • In order to receive General Education credit for Advanced Placement exams, the student must have successfully completed the courses associated with the exams and the score on the Advanced Placement exam must be a 4 or 5. In order to receive General Education credit for higher level International Baccalaureate exams, the score on the exam must be a 4, 5, 6, or 7. • Because the Gateway Colloquium is designed to be an introduction to the intellectual and academic environment that is particular to this community, a student may not receive transfer credit for the Gateway Colloquium once he/she has enrolled at IWU. • Students who entered in the Fall of 1996 or later will be eligible to earn General Education credits for Advanced Placement exams that meet the criteria defined in the policy statement. • In addition to the four General Education credits a student can earn for Advanced Placement exams, a student can earn a Writing Intensive Flag if his or her score is a 4 or 5 on the English Language and Composition Exam, the corresponding AP course was taken, and a grade of B or higher was received in the Gateway Colloquium course. • Advanced Placement Exams and the corresponding General Education category: AP Exam General Education Category Art, History of The Arts

Four semesters of classical guitar lessons (MUS 100) OR two semesters of applied classical guitar (MUS 100) with concurrent enrollment in Guitar Ensemble (MUS 37). D. Two semesters of one of the following ensembles - Orchestra (MUS 21), Wind Ensemble (MUS 22), Symphonic Winds (MUS 24), Jazz Ensemble (MUS 34), or Jazz Lab Band (MUS 35) — with concurrent enrollment in the appropriate applied instrumental lessons (MUS 100). Admission into these ensembles, with the exception of Jazz Lab Band (MUS 35) is based upon audition. All applied study requires the consent of the instructor. An extra fee is charged for private lessons. ** In place of the courses listed above, students can satisfy this requirement by an equivalent score on an IWU Placement Exam or AP language exam. Entering international students whose native language is not English are exempt from the second language requirement under any one of the following circumstances: 1) They were required to take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) for admission. 2) They provide a transcript from a secondary school where the primary language of instruction was not English. 3) They provide a transcript or other form of written certification that documents satisfactory completion of more than four years of study in one language other than English. *** Students must take two “Writing Intensive” courses. One of these courses must be taken in the major, and one of the courses must be completed by the end of the sophomore year. Students who have more than one major must take a “Writing Intensive” course in each major. † Psychology 100 does not meet the Natural Science state requirement for students pursuing an Elementary Education major. †† At least 1x or 1y must be a fitness course.

Course Categories Gateway Colloquium (GW; 1 course unit) Category Description: Gateway Colloquia are small discussion-oriented classes designed to develop students’ proficiency in writing academic and public discourse. Although each colloquium investigates its own issue or question, all focus on writing as a major component of intellectual inquiry. Students are expected to participate in discussion and to analyze, integrate and evaluate competing ideas so as to formulate their own arguments about an issue. Topics will vary by section. Students must complete a Gateway Colloquium by the end of the freshman year. Students who fail Gateway will be enrolled in another section of the course at the earliest opportunity.

General Education

Category Goals

Course Criteria

In keeping with the overall goals of the General Education program, in particular the goals of developing students’ proficiency in writing and its use as a means of discovery and understanding, and of developing students’ capacities in critical thinking, independence, and imagination through active learning, Gateway Colloquium seminars seek to:

To achieve these goals, all Gateway Colloquia incorporate the following criteria:

1. introduce students to the process of intellectual inquiry and develop students’ critical thinking skills;

1. Courses introduce students to the methods of creating and acquiring knowledge in the university environment through assignments that require critical thinking, i.e., investigation, speculation, analysis and synthesis. Courses also introduce students to the ethical values of the academic community, i.e., sharing knowledge and crediting intellectual achievement through appropriate methods of documentation.

2. develop students’ ability to evaluate competing ideas and experiences;

2. C  ourses focus on a specific topic in order to engage students in a shared, sustained investigation and discussion of competing ideas and to develop their reading skills. Courses will not be an introduction to a discipline.

3. develop students’ skills in the conventions and structures of presenting knowledge in written academic and public discourse, and on strategies for effective revision;

3. Courses focus on writing as a process in which students produce informal writing, drafts, revisions, and final papers, and faculty read drafts, give extensive written comments on student writing, and return comments and formal papers before collecting the next formal paper assignment. Students produce about 30 pages of writing during the term, including at least 4 formal essays of varying lengths. Informal writing — journals, exercises, drafts, responses to reading or study questions — comprises the rest of the pages produced. The bulk of the course grade is derived from student writing. Since the primary focus of the course is writing, the length and number of reading assignments should be limited accordingly.

4. e ngage students in learning activities 4. C  ourses provide active learning opthat prepare them for academic life in portunities that encourage students to the university. analyze, synthesize, make inferences, argue logically, and think independently.

General Education

Analysis of Values (AV; 1 course unit) Category Description: Courses in this category critically examine one or more normative value issues arising in social, political, professional, religious, artistic, or other contexts. Normative value issues concern questions of what ought to be the case, and are thus distinguished from empirical and/or descriptive issues, which concern questions of what is, was, or will be the case. Courses in this category engage students in the rational examination of normative value issues and expose them to alternative theories and positions concerning such issues. Students are thereby challenged to think systematically about these issues and to refine and defend their views of them.

Category Goals

Course Criteria

In keeping with the overall goals of the General Education program, in particular the goals of developing students’ capacities for critical thinking, intellectual independence, communicating in writing and orally, and fostering their abilities to make and assess judgments of value, courses in the “Analysis of Values” category seek to:

To achieve these goals, offerings at the 100or 200-level in this category incorporate the following criteria in a balance appropriate to the course. In addition, courses in this category at the 300- or 400-level have a significant research component and involve students in analysis and argumentation at a more sophisticated level than that normally found in lower-level courses.

1. develop students’ ability to recognize and understand normative value issues;

1. C  ourses consider normative value issues as their central focus. The issue or issues should be clearly identified. Whereas the study of descriptive and/ or empirical information may be an important component of courses in this category, such information should relate to the normative value issue(s) under consideration.

2. encourage students to understand and evaluate contrasting theories pertaining to normative value issues;

2. C  ourses expose students to contrasting theories pertaining to normative value issues as these are presented in primary or secondary source readings. Courses engage students in the critical assessment of these theories and/or the practical application of these theories to particular normative value issues.

3. develop students’ ability to formulate, 3. Course materials and assignments provide multiple opportunities for examine rationally, and defend their students to examine contrasting positions about normative value positions, to formulate their own posiissues. Such examination requires stutions, and to consider rigorously the dents to consider theories, contrasting grounds and arguments for such posipositions on the issue(s) in question, tions. Possible methods include small and pertinent descriptive and empirigroup exercises, debates, interactive cal information; learning technologies, participation in co-curricular events, class discussions, and paper assignments.

87

General Education

4. encourage students to reflect on the implications of their values for their personal, professional and civic lives, and to learn to listen to, respect, and care about the views of other people in situations other than their own.

4. Courses develop students’ ability to consider the interpersonal, professional, and social contexts of action and to understand the implications of their positions for other persons, groups, or populations.

Category Goals

Course Criteria

In keeping with the overall goals of the General Education program, in particular the goals of offering opportunities for active learning and of developing students’ imagination, their understanding of the fundamental processes and relationships of culture, and their ability to frame questions and make judgments of value, courses in the category of “The Arts” seek to:

To achieve these goals, offerings at the 100- or 200-level in this category incorporate the following criteria in a balance appropriate to the course. In addition, courses proposed for credit at the 300- or 400-level also require students to frame questions of aesthetic value, to grapple with answers to those questions, and to evaluate competing ideas or theories of interpretation at an advanced level.

1. d evelop students’ awareness of the deep sources of art, both individual and communal, and of the relationship in art between disciplined technique and creative freedom;

1. C  ourses examine how the artist is related to the work (inspiration, motives, expressive intentions), how art works are constructed, and what technical and aesthetic challenges are involved in the processes of creation or performance.

2. examine how art records, reflects, and shapes the temper of its time and place of origin;

2. Courses consider such matters as interactions between and among audience, artist, performer, and the art work; the influence of historical, social, and cultural factors on art at the time a work is created or performed for the first time; the influence of art on society.

3. e xplore the significance of art in a larger context-cross-culturally, historically, or in terms of broad aesthetic parameters shared by various art forms;

3. C  ourse content focuses on a single art form across multiple cultures contemporaneously or a single art form in a single culture over time or multiple art forms in a single culture contemporaneously. Courses examine the role of interpretation in suggesting message or meaning in art.

4. e ncourage students to gain a sense of what artists actually do with their hands, voices, bodies, and minds, in the creation and practice of their art.

4. Course assignments and activities expose students, if possible, to paintings/sculpture, to live music and theater, and/or offer them the opportunity to engage in the actual practice of creative or performing arts activities.

Formal Reasoning (FR; 1 course unit) Category Description Courses in this category focus on approaches to knowledge which are rigorous and rule-governed. The courses enable students to develop an understanding of formal systems, including geometric, symbolic or numerical systems, and to use formal reasoning for inquiry and problem solving, including real-world problems.

Category Goals

Course Criteria

In keeping with the overall goals of the General Education program, in particular the goals of enabling students to use formal methods of reasoning in problem solving, and developing students’ capacities for critical thinking, courses in the “Formal Reasoning” category seek to:

To achieve these goals, offerings at the 100or 200-level in this category incorporate the following criteria in a balance appropriate to the course. In addition, courses proposed for credit at the 300- or 400-level also require a degree of complexity in the material beyond that normally found in lower level courses. They require students to focus on metatheoretical questions, or to engage creatively in mathematical modeling or proving theorems.

Intellectual Traditions (IT; 1 course unit) Category Description Courses in this category explore major ideas that have significantly shaped culture and the course of events. Courses may focus on an individual figure, a broader intellectual movement, or a crucial concept or topic. Emphasis is placed on critical interpretation, analysis, and evaluation of ideas articulated in primary printed texts and, where appropriate, in works of art, architecture, and music.

Category Goals

Course Criteria

In keeping with the overall goals of the General Education program, in particular the goals of developing students’ capacities for critical thinking, intellectual independence and social awareness, their knowledge and understanding of the fundamental processes and relationships of culture and their evolution over time, and their abilities to make and assess judgments of value, courses in the “Intellectual Traditions” category seek to:

To achieve these goals, offerings at the 100- or 200-level in this category incorporate the following criteria in a balance appropriate to the course. In addition, courses in this category at the 300- or 400-level involve an advanced level of complexity in the material studied and the interpretive questions raised and, where appropriate, may have a significant research component.

1. develop students’ abilities to evaluate critically ideas and beliefs articulated in the conversations of minds across the centuries in our own and other cultures;

1. Courses examine ideas, rather than events, works of art or literature, or cultural practices. Thus, although historical materials, art, literary texts, and cultural artifacts may be examined in the course, such works should be investigated for the ideas articulated in them as they pertain to the subject matter of the course.

98

General Education

2. increase students’ knowledge of the texts and traditions, either western or non-western, which are demonstrably important, i.e., that have shaped culture and made a difference in the course of events;

2. Courses focus on ideas that have shaped culture, the processes by which texts and traditions come to be seen as important, and, where appropriate, alternative voices which confront traditions.

3. enable students to see that understanding an idea requires understanding its development by examining the ways in which ideas, beliefs, and world views originate, evolve, persist, recur, and die out;

3. Courses examine the development of ideas over time and in relation to other ideas. Courses on a single figure, for example, should, where appropriate, devote time to studying the wider intellectual conversation of which that figure is a part.

4. develop students’ abilities to read primary texts and make, assess, and defend arguments about ideas articulated in those texts

4. Courses actively engage students in interpreting and evaluating primary texts (including texts in translation), which provide the majority of reading for the course and which students analyze in written essays and oral discussions.

The Natural Sciences (LSI, LSL, PSI, PSL; 2 course units) Category Description Courses in this category help students develop the capacity for scientific literacy in preparation for responsible citizenship. Through laboratory and other learning experiences, students explore the methods by which scientists discover and formulate laws or principles that describe the behavior of nature in both living and non-living realms. Students also examine how scientific thinking applies to their own lives, and address the issues that scientific and technological advances bring to society. Two courses in this category are required, one of which deals substantively with scientific methods and laboratory techniques, and the other substantively with societal and ethical issues resulting from scientific techniques or findings. In addition, one of these courses must concern primarily life science concepts, and the other primarily physical science concepts.

In place of the courses listed above, students can satisfy this requirement by an equivalent score on an IWU Placement Exam or AP language exam. Entering international students whose native language is not English are exempt from the second language requirement under any one of the following circumstances: 1) They were required to take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) for admission. 2) They provide a transcript from a secondary school where the primary language of instruction was not English. 3) They provide a transcript or other form of written certification that documents satisfactory completion of more than four years of study in one language other than English. Placement exams are available in French, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish. Students requesting placement in other languages IWU offers (Chinese, classical Greek, Japanese, Russian) should contact the coordinator of the Language Resource Center. Results from language placement exams serve to recognize proficiency, to allow students to enroll in an appropriate course, or fulfill general education credit in Second Language (LA). IWU does not grant course unit or degree credit as a result of placement exams. Placement exams are typically taken by incoming first-year students during the week before classes start, although special arrangements may be made to take the placement exam at other times. Students may not arrange for a placement exam in a language once they have begun study of the language at the university level, including transfer credit or study abroad. Special placement exams in languages the University does not offer may be arranged, when possible, for students who have demonstrated secondary school study or reading and writing proficiency in a language. When appropriate, exams will include reading, writing, and speaking. Such languages may include, but are not limited to, Korean, modern Greek, Polish, and American Sign Language.
