When we communicate the value of our general educational learning outcomes to students, we make those skills tangible to them. Our hope is that they can use this knowledge to demonstrate to prospective employers that they have internalized these skills.
As such, you may wish to add a statement to your course syllabus which emphasizes the learning outcomes that are core to your class. Of course, your participation is strictly voluntary.
