GEC Category 4. Diversity (2) International Issues, Non-Western or Global

with the following contingencies:

1. Please list out “4. Diversity (2) International Issues,  Non-Western or Global” on page 1 of the rationale in order to make clearer the exact category for which the course was applying.
2. On page 2 of the rationale, please modify first sentence in the first full paragraph to say, “the above category” and not, “all three subcategories.”
3. Please strike the last sentence of this same paragraph, “Therefore I hesitate…”
4. In Assessment plan section on page 2, in the penultimate paragraph replace the last word, “syllabus” with, “course.”
5. Please insert the boiler-plate language of the GEC Learning Goals and Objectives for both appropriate categories.  [attached]
6. Suggestion to include credit hours
7. On the course change form: please complete the left-hand side.  The committee wondered that since you were changing the name of the course, if you also wanted to take this opportunity to change the description and/or 18-character title.
