Committee reviewed four new course requests for International Studies

            1.         Intl St 615: Children & War – Approved with revisions:

                        - Change form to “2 2-hour classes”

                        - There was confusion over syllabus readings-

                             Recommendation: Clarify which readings are for what weeks to give                                   an overall sense of how much reading is required for the course.

                        - Add Academic Integrity statement

 

            2.         Intl St 530: Comparative Communism: China and Russia – Sent back for                                 revision:

                        - Change Distribution of Class Time/Contact Hrs to “2 2-hr classes”

                        - Provide justification for 5 credit hours (e.g. book review is optional –                          workload may not be appropriate for 5 cr hr course)

                        - Change course title on syllabus to match new course request form

                        - Replace Disability Statement with standard version

                        - Check boxes on request form for Honors, GEC, etc.

 

            3.         Intl St 533: Crime and Corruption in Contemporary Europe– Sent back for                 revision:

                        - Change title on syllabus to match course request form

                        - Provide clarification on when class will meet.  If “2 1.5-hr classes”                              provide justification for 5 credit hours (if class time runs for 1 hr 48 min,                               that is considered a 2-hr class)

                        - Syllabus is for summer quarter-what would it look like in autumn?

                        - Grade scale should be “E”, not “F” – change in several places on syllabus

                        - Change Disability Statement to standard version

                        - Check boxes on request form for Honors, GEC, etc.

                        - Recommendation: Reconsider policy of no make-up exams

 

            4.         Intl St 550: Cultural Diplomacy – Sent back for revision:

                        - Course time listed as MW 9:30-11:18, but syllabus lists Fridays for                             “discussion.”  If class also meets Friday, revise course time.  If there are not                   Friday sessions, provide justification for 5 credit hr course.

                        - Check boxes on request form for Honors, GEC, etc.
