Abstract
Fall 2024 was the first semester of GGC’s newest Quality Enhancement Plan: The EXperiential learning And Critical Thinking plan. EXACT’s goal is to improve students’ critical thinking through experiential learning. In this first semester, EXACT was deployed in two General Education courses: ITEC 1001 and Hist 1112. EXACT will expand over five years to include classes across GGC that range from the 1000 to 4000 level, allowing students to take multiple EXACT courses and encouraging faculty to develop their capability to teach critical thinking. This roundtable will explain the EXACT program and provide a “lessons-learned” discussion of its progress thus far. It will feature course coordinators for Hist 1112 and ITEC 1001—who designed the EXACT activities—along with section faculty to provide multiple perspectives. It will present a snapshot of the early stages of a large-scale faculty development program at GGC.
