Subcommittee C

11/20/2007

UNAPPROVED

Present: Vasey, Berman, Bitters, Soundarajan, Lee

 

1. Approved the minutes from 10-30-07 meeting.

 

2. Political theory bundle – Approved with contingency

 

            i. intro: accompanying Political Science major revision

 

            ii. 210 & 211

 

            a. Clarify the relationship between the existing 210 and the new version of 210 and the proposed 211. Specifically, the committee wondered if the rationale under which 210 originally received GEC status was still applicable given the proposed changes to that course.

 

            b. Justification as to why the proposed 210 should retain GEC status. (please incorporate the GEC learning objectives, rationales, assessment plan in the syllabus)

 

            c. Articulate who are the target populations are for 210 and 211. 

 

            d. Titles of 210 and 211 seem confusing.  In particular, the title for 210 makes it sound like a topics course in which topic change from one iteration to the next.

 

            iii. other courses: clarify whether students can take both courses in a pair, since the readings are exactly the same? (i.e. 470 & 670; 471 & 671).  The higher level courses do not currently exclude students with credit for the lower number courses. If students can take both, please provide rationale.  If students can’t take both, please submit course changes for the 600-level courses to exclude the 400-level courses.

 

                                                                                   

 

* Mike will correspond with Bill Liddle and then communicate with Sub C.

 

Approve with contingency upon satisfactory of Chair’s inquiry.       Yes: all      No: none

 

3. Geo 410 – Sent back

 

            i. intro- needs GEC categories consistent with GEO H410 (Social Science & Natural Science) or change the course number

 

ii. recommendations:

 

a. seek H410’s GEC categories- articulate/identify which weekly topics (such as Week 3) and readings that meets the Social Science content (looks like they’re there, articulate so that the committee can be certain)

 

b. drop the Diversity category, or unpack it (Sub C not optimistic for this category)—if so, need to be consistent with H410 or change the course number

 

Sent back.                    Yes: all      No: none

 

4. Communication Minors— Approved with contingency

 

 

            i. submit course change forms for all minor courses to be open to minor students

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                        (contingent upon the approval of the minors)  

 

Approve with contingency..   Yes: all     No: none.
