UF Quest
UF Quest invites faculty to develop new Quest 1 and Quest 2 courses for Fall 2022. Courses are especially welcome that examine the many challenges, problems, and societal concerns that we continue to face: systemic racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion, race and racism, the global health crisis, climate change, economic disparities, the digital revolution and the impact of artificial intelligence on our lives, the unintended consequences of technical progress, etc.
Please consult the Quest 1 and Quest 2 Call for New Course Proposals for eligibility requirements, information on the application process, and links to the Quest Syllabus Builder. The deadline to submit new Quest 1 and Quest 2 course proposals is October 1, 2021.
UF Quest is a new General Education program. Quest courses examine questions that are difficult to answer and hard to ignore in an increasingly complex world. Students choose one Quest 1 course to satisfy 3 credits of the General Education requirement in the humanities and one Quest 2 course to satisfy 3 credits of the General Education requirement in the biophysical or social and behavioral sciences.
Faculty who are interested in developing new Quest courses are invited to sign up for one of the workshops even if they do not know whether their new Quest course can be taught next year. By having their course reviewed now, they will have greater flexibility to offer it whenever their department can fit it into the schedule.
