CTCM 2530 Course Prep
We facilitate the course prep for faculty teaching a Critical Thinking and Communication course (CTCM 2530) for the General Education Curriculum. This course prep introduces faculty to the required components for all sections and helps faculty develop a written inquiry assignment that aligns with the general education program critical thinking student learning outcomes and their own subject interests.

Workshops and Webinars
We deliver webinars on a variety of topics related to the teaching and learning of communication. You can find recordings of past webinars under Teaching and Learning Resources.
Departments and programs also can request a customized and interactive CxC workshop. Workshops address a specific topic or need, provide concrete teaching strategies and tools, and encourage conversation among participants. They are generally 1-2 hours and can be incorporated into retreats and meetings or held as independent events.
