Undergraduate Education Goals and Means

Undergraduate Education is an examination of the field balanced by constructive proposals designed to clarify goals and achieve them. Chapters deal with the goals of achieving proficiencies (such as literacy, foreign languages, mathematics, and computers) and conversancies in certain disciplines (such as science, history, global awareness, and art) for all undergraduate students. The author also discusses the complex subject of the undergraduate major, the attainment of intellectual virtues (character traits), and how educators in the classroom, the institution at large, and noncurricular activities can contribute to achieving desired goals.Weingartner, Rudolph H. is the author of 'Undergraduate Education Goals and Means', published 1993 under ISBN 9780897748070 and ISBN 0897748077.
