General-education requirements

As background, at Georgia Southern University (GSU), a one-semester GOB course has been offered to allied health majors since converting to the semester system in 1998. Allied health at GSU consists of mostly nursing followed by nutrition majors. Additionally, up to 30% of the students enrolled in a section of this course take the one-semester GOB course as a general education requirement. 

Claremont McKenna College (CA) 4-5 Will waive one of the two general education requirements if students receive one or more scores of 4 or 5. 

CHEM 142, 152 162 General chemistry for science and engineering majors. Counts toward Natural World general education requirement for graduation. CHEM 142 also satisfies Quantitative and Symbolic Reasoning graduation requirement. 

Read the section on page 5 entitled Why Should Nonscience Majors Study Science Do you agree or disagree Your institution probably has a science requirement as part of its general education requirements. Suppose your institution was reevaluating this requirement. Write a brief letter... 

Calcium has earned a reputation as one of the most at-risk nutrients (Foote et ah, 2004) and in 2005 the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee classified Ca as a shortfall nutrient because average Ca intake often falls to <60% of the recommended intake in subsets of the population (Kennedy and Meyers, 2005). The pressing need to improve the Ca status of Americans has been highlighted by the Healthy People 2010 Objective, an initiative that endeavors to increase, to at least 75%, the number of US individuals 2 years or older that meet current Ca recommendations (Looker, 2003). The general population requires ongoing education to more fully appreciate the relevance of Ca in relation to current and future health, the imminent risks associated with habitual inadequate intakes, and practical means by which to achieve recommended intakes. 

Our next staff development seminar is scheduled for 8/7/01. We plan to discuss the modification requirements for general education teachers. 

First, avoid asking questions to which you do not know the answer. This is not an opportunity for research or general education. Make certain you thoroughly understand the requirements and guidance relevant to your product, and craft questions that do not merely seek factual summary. 

Undergraduate students are required to complete general education courses for the first 1-1.5 years, followed by the specialized courses. The students attend these specialized courses for about two years. 

In this chapter we set out characteristics of vocational education that distinguish it from the general education of schooling and the academic education in universities. These characteristics, in turn, require the disciplinary field of chemistry to be drawn on differently when it is a source of the knowledge and skills that various vocational occupations require. Examples of how chemical knowledge is included in several vocational curricula will illustrate the characteristics of vocational education and chemistry s role in it. 

Assurance of competent staff begins by preparing position descriptions that specify the educational requirements, operational experience, and duties of the laboratory personnel. The qualifications of the supervisors, analysts, and instrument operators who are hired must match these descriptions. Each staff position should have a set of core training specifications (e.g., radiation safety, chemical safety, waste minimization and disposal, quality assurance) plus specific training in its area of responsibility. Table 13.3 provides suggested position titles, educational requirements, and general responsibilities for the optimal laboratory staff. 

Initially the computers provided by the Computer Board were for research work only and not for teaching. However, that distinction did not persist into the late 1960s, and the computers became a general educational resource. It was not permitted that the computers so provided be used for university administration and, since they were required to provide an effective service, there were very strict limits on the extent to which the then burgeoning tribe of computer scientists were allowed to monkey about with the machines.
