NCWC's QEP Committee has worked since May, 2008, to design a plan that will help students develop an ability to find, critically evaluate, and ethically use information in an information society.

GIST Courses seek to:
  • Enhance student learning by creating coursework opportunities that change information-seeking and use behaviors
  • Change student perceptions of information tasks as linear constructs by replacing this perception with a process approach that requires topic definition, critical evaluation, analysis, organization, and ethical decision making in the use of information.
  • Extend to the Adult Degree Program
