The only change in the programs was to reorganize them for clarity. A
proposal to delete EDM 317&318 and replaced them with 319 will be submitted
to UCC very soon. It was confirmed that the names of the programs will stay the
same even though certification names are changing. Sandy Keller agreed to send
the registrar a list of specific gen ed courses to list in the catalog for each
of the programs.
M/S/P to waive the second reading and approve the proposal.
5. Old Business
Criteria for Proposal Evaluation
Andy Matchett distributed the revised criteria for evaluation of proposals.
Discussion focused on 1) What is the role of a university-wide committee? 2) whether “Ability of the department and the college to meet resource needs” is under the purview of UCC 3) Is there a difference between guidelines and criteria? Maybe the criteria should be formatted in a way that would be useful to departments as they develop new courses.
The
committee agreed to strike 3C regarding sufficient infrastructure from the
criteria and to continue to review the document informally while using it in
draft form.
6. New Business
The topic of general education courses was discussed. Emily Johnson invited anyone with concerns or suggestions to attend the general education meetings.
The meeting adjourned at 5:28 p.m. The next UCC meeting is February 25, 2003.
