This proposal combines the
clinical experiences and decreases the number of courses from 6 to 5, based on
feedback that the first clinical during J Term was too condensed.
GCC recommended the following: 1) refining the outlines and titles for
the fieldwork courses to give more description as to what the classes are; 2)
P-T 672 has instructional pattern marked as a change, but it should be marked as
other- offered in a different semester; 3) refining the length of the courses to
state that it is a minimum of 40 hours per week at the clinical sites; and 4)
Correct effective dates.
This was a first reading. There will be a second reading.
