LTC Lunch: Analyze This: The Sequel (May 5)

This year a subcommittee of the Education and Curriculum Committee (ECC) is studying the ways and degree to which Carleton students “Learn to Learn” as part of an annual institutional-level assessment exercise. For our purposes, Learning to Learn includes making connections between and among formal (curricular) and informal (co-curricular) learning experiences, reflective learning, and independent pursuit of knowledge. The presentation will include findings from an interview-based study of alumni from the classes of 2009 and 1999 and highlights from other survey-based analyses. Come learn about the committee’s draft findings and recommendations. The subcommittee members are eager to hear your reflections and anticipate, as in years past, they will be helpful in refining our recommendations.
