TWO-SEMESTER SEQUENCE OF COURSES
(One
two-semester sequence required)
The registrar
asked the CLS Core Curriculum Committee to review/ update the associate degree
in order to bring it more in line with general education. The committee reviewed
UW-L’s gen ed and System’s associate degree requirements and made the
appropriate changes to our associate degree.
A draft was sent to all deans and department chairs to review more than
once. Chairs were asked to submit courses for the “2-semester sequence”.
Some UCC members asked about requiring only 15 resident credits; how the
2-semester sequence list was developed; and what the appropriate “home” is
for the associate degree, recognizing that this is a campuswide program, not a
CLS program. The Undergraduate Curriculum Committee requested the following: 1)
provide written support from all deans and, 2) check with other campuses to see
if they have minimum resident credit requirements. UCC needs to think about a
recommendation about assigning associate degree oversight. All changes to the
General Education Program will be automatically reflected, whenever possible, in
the associate degree. This was the first reading. There will be a second reading.

Technology for Teaching and Learning, new course, 2 credits, effective Fall 2003.
The course is an introduction to the systematic planning of instructional
technology. Course objectives include the selection, preparation, utilization of

principles of learning through technology integration into instruction with the
use of multimedia, web development, instructional media, distance learning,
Internet use and ethical, legal and social issues in technology. Prerequisite:
junior standing. Offered online during the Summer, May term and J-term.
The department
has worked through their student population in order to phase out EDM 317 and
318 to replace them with EDM 319. Instead
of 2 one-credit courses, EDM will offer 1 two-credit course.
The committee has requested the following from the department: 1) speak
with the Computer Science department in regards to overlap; and 2) reword the
second sentence in the course description.

will be a second reading.
