Student Code of Conduct

The student is expected to follow the U of U Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, Regulations Library Policy 6-400, also known as the Student Code, found at:http://regulations.utah.edu/academics/6-400.php 

General Education Statement

      This course fulfills the [category] requirement for the General Education program at Salt Lake Community College. It is designed not only to teach the information and skills required by the discipline, but also to develop vital workplace skills and to teach strategies and skills that can be used for life-long learning. General Education courses teach basic skills as well as broaden a student’s knowledge of a wide range of subjects. Education is much more than the acquisition of facts; it is being able to use information in meaningful ways in order to enrich one’s life.

      While the subject of each course is important and useful, we become truly educated through making connections of such varied information with the different methods of organizing human experience that are practiced by different disciplines. Therefore, this course, when combined with other General Education courses, will enable you to develop broader perspectives and deeper understandings of your community and the world, as well as challenge previously held assumptions about the world and its inhabitants.
