English Class:

In the exploration section, I relate the second point directly to what we learn in English class. From the exploration section of the handbook, it says that students will be able to “Employ techniques of active reading, critical reading, and informal reading response for inquiry, learning, and thinking.” Basically our entire homework curriculum we have done in class, is to work on critical reading with all of the annotation homework. The rest of our assignments involve reading and doing writing responses. The assignment we are literally doing right now involves reading and learning and thinking about how the material relates to each other. The curriculum of English matches the exploration section almost exactly.

Image Capture Class:

In the exploration section of the appendix, it says, “Find, evaluate, and/or use information in a way that is appropriate to a particular discipline”. In Image Capture class, we use photography as a way to send a message and we use it as information about a setting, and the mood, tone, and the message that the photograph sends itself. We take pictures during the week, and then we go into class, edit and upload the pictures and we break down everyones pictures to get the message and mood from them. This relates to the exploration section of appendix A by we use information in a way through photos that is appropriate to a particular discipline, which is finding the story of each photo.

The Critical thinking requirement in the handbook is required for students to do after their first two years at UNE. It is a program that teaches students to think critically about their actual major. “Each program requires its majors to enroll in a course where students and faculty engage in informed critical and creative thinking about problems confronting professionals in the field.” It is a program where students try to solve the biggest debates in their majors industry by using critical thinking skills to get their answer. It is supposed to demonstrate the critical thinking ability for students after their first two years. Ungar in his article emphasized the importance for critical thinking for carriers and being able to use critical thinking to get a job. In Ungar’s article, he draws from a 2009 survey about employers wanting students who have “critical thinking and analytical reasoning skills.” These two relate because they both involve the use of critical thinking to solve problems in careers, which is one of the most neccesary skills in a career.
