3. Before we begin… 1. Mission integration is for every professor, in every class, and in every discipline. 2. Integration is intentional and unambiguous. One cannot simply set up a situation and presume integration will occur. 3. Coherence with the Mission and Core Commitments may be demonstrated through course content, pedagogy, or assessment tools. 4. When demonstrating integration between the Core Commitments and courses, one need not demonstrate coherence with all four Commitments. 5. If one claims coherence or integration, the means for doing so must be explicit in the syllabus Mission statement and in some aspect of the course (See #3 above).
