1.
Policy :
All regularly scheduled, four credit, undergraduate courses
offered within the Ramapo College curriculum must include
a Course Enrichment Component (CEC). The CEC consists of a
minimum of five (5) hours of outside-the-classroom activity that
enhances the student learning that takes place within the
classroom. While there is no requirement that a faculty member
monitor the outside-the-classroom experience, it is expected that
the CEC will be effectively addressed within the course syllabi
(including learning goals, outcomes, and assessments;
assignment(s) and grading; and timeline for completion) and be
consistently and effectively implemented as part of the Ramapo
College Curriculum.
2.
Reason for Policy:
To assure that the Course Enrichment Components of all
courses are conducted with rigor appropriate to the programs
offered and are designed, delivered and evaluated to foster a
coherent student learning experience.
3.
To Whom Does The Policy Apply:
To all individuals teaching at the College.
