******************************************************************************
SUBJECT: General Education Block Transfers
During the February 2017 AAC meeting, the council discussed the approach for moving
forward with institutional level reviews for the General Education Block Transfer process. Table
1 in the February item identified those institutions within the Regental system with five or more
transfer students who had earned an Associate’s Degree prior to entry. It was decided that drawing
from this list, institutions would be designated to complete the institutional review and bring
forward the outcome of that analysis to the May 2017 meeting scheduled for Chamberlain. Using
the student distributions depicted in the February 2017 item, the following institutional
assignments were advanced.
BHSU – Gillette College (17) & Northwest Iowa CC (14)
DSU – Iowa Lakes CC (5) & ND State College of Science (4)
NSU – Northland Community Technical College (5) & Rochester C. & Tech. C. (1)
SDSM&T – Community College Air Force (4)
SDSU – Dakota Wesleyan University (12) & Minnesota West C & Technical C. (31)
USD – Ridgewater College (8) and Western Iowa Tech. CC (47)
Northern State University has been the first to complete their reviews which are provided
in Attachments I and II.

Goal 4: Mathematics/Logical Reasoning
Goal: To increase students' knowledge about mathematical and logical modes of thinking.
This will enable students to appreciate the breadth of
applications of mathematics, evaluate arguments, and detect fallacious reasoning. Students will learn to apply mathematics, logic,
and/or statistics to help them make decisions in their lives and careers. Minnesota's public higher education systems have agreed that developmental mathematics includes the first three years of a high school mathematics
sequence through intermediate algebra.
Students will be able to:
Illustrate historical and
contemporary applications of mathematics/logical systems.
Clearly express
mathematical/logical ideas in writing.
Explain what constitutes a
valid mathematical/logical argument (proof).
Apply higher-order
problem-solving and/or modeling strategies.

Sciences
Goal: To improve students' understanding of natural science principles and of the methods of scientific inquiry, i.e., the ways in which scientists investigate natural science phenomena. As a basis for lifelong learning,
students need to know the vocabulary of science and to realize that while a set of principles has been developed through the work of previous scientists, ongoing scientific
inquiry and new knowledge will bring changes in some of the
ways scientists view the world. By studying the problems that engage today's scientists, students learn to appreciate the importance of science in their
lives and to understand the value of a scientific perspective. Students should be encouraged to study both the biological and physical sciences.
Students will be able to:
Demonstrate understanding of scientific theories.
Formulate and test hypotheses by performing laboratory, simulation, or field experiments in at
least two of the natural science disciplines. One of these experimental components should develop, in greater depth, students' laboratory experience in the
collection of data, its statistical and graphical analysis, and an appreciation of its sources
of error and uncertainty.
Communicate their
experimental findings, analyses, and interpretations both orally and in writing.
Evaluate societal issues from a natural science perspective, ask questions about the evidence

mathematics, logic, and/or statistics to help them make decisions in their lives and careers. Minnesota's public higher education systems have agreed that developmental mathematics includes the first three years of a high school mathematics sequence through intermediate algebra. Student Competencies for Goal 4:
Clearly express mathematical/logical ideas in writing.
Apply higher-order problem-solving and/or modeling strategies.
Explain what constitutes a valid mathematical/logical argument(proof).
Illustrate historical and contemporary applications of mathematical/logical systems.

Goal 3: Natural Science
Minimum: 6 Credits with a minimum of two courses with a lab from two different areas that meet MnTC Goal 3 Objective: To improve students' understanding of natural science principles and of the methods of scientific inquiry, i.e, the ways in which scientists investigate natural science phenomena. As a basis for lifelong learning, students need to know the vocabulary of science and to realize that while a set of principles has been developed through the work of previous scientists, ongoing scientific

inquiry and new knowledge will bring changes in some of the ways scientists view the world. By studying the problems that engage today's scientists, students learn to appreciate the importance of science in their lives and to understand the value of a scientific perspective. Students should be encouraged to study both the biological and physical sciences. Student Competencies for Goal 3:
Demonstrate understanding of scientific theories.
Communicate their experimental findings, analyses, and interpretations both orally and in writing.
Evaluate societal issues from a natural science perspective, ask questions about the evidence presented, and make informed judgments about science-related topics and policies.
Formulate and test hypotheses by performing laboratory, simulation, or field experiments in at least two of the natural science disciplines. One of these experimental components should develop, in greater depth, students' laboratory experience in the collection of data, its statistical and graphical analysis, and an appreciation of its sources of error and uncertainty.
