The Plan
As mentioned on the Basics Page, the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is a proposal of activity that a college creates to enhance its effectiveness as an educational institution. To simplify this process and aid in goal attainment, the college usually limits its focus to one or two "topics". Based on feedback from college stakeholders, the college selected "Improving Critical Thinking" as the Quality Enhancement Plan topic. The goal of the QEP for NSCC is therefore to adopt a suitable definition for critical thinking, determine how to best implement this skill with our student body, and develop assessment tools to determine if we have succeeded.
The current version of the plan can be found at the following link (this plan is a draft and will be revised).
