Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education
In 1987 Chickering & Gamson published the now famous “Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education.†These principles are based on the perspective that the goal of a proper undergraduate education should be active, cooperative, challenging, and:
* encourage student-faculty contact;
* encourage cooperation among students;
* encourage active/engaged learning;
* give prompt feedback;
* emphasize time on task;
* communicate high expectations; and
* respect diverse talents and ways of learning.
