    Sandra Cheng commented on the post, Keeping up my end of the task: This is Gen Ed, on the site A Living Laboratory: General Education Seminars at City Tech 11 years, 10 months ago

    Thanks Charles. I was amused with the opening line: “The new Program in General Education seeks to connect in an explicit way what students learn in Harvard classrooms to life outside the ivied walls and beyond the college years,” and noted that not matter what type of walls, ivied or cinderblock, the goal is to […]

    An introduction to art from ancient to modern times. The course introduces a wide variety of methodologies and topics of current debate in the field of art history, for example: style, technique, patronage, iconography (subject matter), social context, historiography (writings about art and how they shaped our concepts), gender, psychoanalysis, and art theory.

    Thanks for posting Charles. Your link got me to thinking one sad consequence of the credentialing effect is the cheapening of education. The focus on the degree turns the whole experience into a process of attaining rubber stamps and less a reflection of getting an education. It’s a bleak addendum to the Death and Life […]

    Sandra Cheng commented on the post, Is Drawing GenEd?, on the site A Living Laboratory: General Education Seminars at City Tech 11 years, 10 months ago

    Great question Paul. I think drawing embodies multiple strategies that fall under Gen Ed such as critical thinking and analysis. Creating a visual representation of what you see requires a thoughtful consideration of what you are trying to render. Even though I’m a terrible draftsman myself, I ask my students to make sketches or doodles […]

    Sandra Cheng commented on the post, Summerfield reading, on the site A Living Laboratory: General Education Seminars at City Tech 11 years, 11 months ago

    The Summerfield reading was extremely useful because it synthesized all those nagging questions of the first few meetings: why are we here? what is Gen Ed? will we ever be able to agree on anything? It also provided valuable historical perspective on the diverse CUNY system and Gen Ed initiatives. I think a copy should […]

    Sandra Cheng commented on the post, Jeannette M. Wing reading, on the site A Living Laboratory: General Education Seminars at City Tech 12 years ago

    My first reaction to Jeannette Wing’s article was how she produced a useful buzzword–catchy, savvy, smart–to help bridge the gap between computer science and other disciplines. I agree with other comments that she’s not very specific in defining what the strategies of computational thinking are. Although the article is broad and general in…[Read more]
