优质课程：考虑的组成部分
威尼斯人娱乐城’s Undergraduate Curriculum Committee, which reviews and recommends action on undergraduate programs, policies and curricula, encourages the use of high-impact practices in program and course design. 了解更多关于高影响力的实践，探索本科学位类型之间的差异，为课程开发提供信息。
高影响力的实践
根据全国学生参与调查（NSSE），高影响实践（High-impact practices，简称HIPs）是指通过学生参与促进深度学习的主动学习实践。 要成为一个HIP，这种体验必须帮助学生实现深度学习，促进显著的参与收益，并鼓励对历史上服务不足的学生群体产生积极的、不同的影响。 This is defined by George Kuh and colleagues at the 美国高校协会.
通过HIPs提高学生的参与度和成功
HIPs共有八个关键要素，包括：
- 性能的期望 — set at appropriately high levels
- 时间和精力 — significant investment by students over an extended period of time
- 交互 — with faculty and peers about substantive matters
- 多样性 — students must participate in experiences with people and circumstances they are not familiar with
- 反馈 — must be frequent, timely and constructive
- 反思和整合学习 — periodic and structured opportunities
- 现实世界的应用程序 — opportunities to discover relevance and apply skills
- 公开展示能力
这些特征可以作为指导几乎所有学习体验的设计和交付的原则。 这样做有望加强和扩大深度学习和参与的影响，对服务不足的学生群体尤其有益。
将高影响力的实践融入你的课程和项目中
To increase student engagement and success, Kuh recommends that every student participate 至少在两个 HIPs during their academic career. 然而，理想情况下，每个学生都应该参与 每年一次HIP。
In addition to incorporating 国家认可的HIPs （PDF）, the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee encourages the designation of curriculum attributes to assist student advising regarding practices, including:
- Community-Engaged学习
- 尤里卡
- 实习
- 威尼斯人娱乐城必需品
- WI — Writing Intensive
- 形式：实习、临床或实习
区分本科学位类型指南
建议同时提供学士学位和学士学位或BFA学位的单位必须通过课程和学生学习成果（slo）来区分这些选择。
课程设置和学生学习成果应符合以下标准。
文学学士: The 文学学士 (BA) degree is anchored in the arts and humanities, mathematics, or the social and natural sciences. 学士学位强调批判性思维、沟通和创造性推理能力的发展。 学士学位课程的学生通过辅修、双专业和通识选修课程，有更多的机会发展多学科专业知识。 Coursework in the major generally comprises 25 to 30% of the degree’s total credit hours. 理学学士: The 理学学士 (BS) degree is anchored in STEM fields — mathematics, natural sciences, engineering, computer and information sciences, and the social and behavioral sciences – psychology, economics, sociology, and political science. The BS degree emphasizes the development of quantitative and scientific reasoning skills. 学士学位课程的学生通过更多的数学和科学课程来发展更多的专业知识。 Coursework in the major or related STEM areas generally comprises 50% of the degree’s total credit hours. 美术学士: The 美术学士 (BFA) is a professional degree in the visual, fine or performing arts. BFA课程以艺术创作和表演为主。 Coursework in the major area generally comprises a minimum of 50% of the degree’s total credit hours and emphasizes the practice and analysis of the artistic discipline. 认可的BFA课程通常需要65%的重点课程。 与学士课程相比，课程和学习成绩应该反映出学士和学士学位课程的深度或精通程度。 Learn more about depth of learning by exploring Bloom’s Taxonomy (PDF), which classifies learning objectives into hierarchical levels of cognitive learning.
