BRIEF NARRATIVE EXPLAINING WHAT YOU ARE HOPING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH YOUR
CURRICULAR CHANGES, identifying the relationship of the proposed changes to other planning
processes (i.e., Academic Program Review, Student Outcomes Assessment, strategic planning, and
licensure or accreditation/re-accreditation requirements). Explain how you know these changes are needed,
based on those planning processes. (e.g., Based on what we learned through assessing our _____ learning
goal for the major, showing that we needed more emphasis on _______, we are restating the major to add
some possible electives and change the required core from 9 to 12 credits with the addition of a newly
created core course.)
MATH 1210 and MATH 3303 are being dropped from the catalog as a result of changes made in the last
curriculum cycle.
MATH 1310 – Change course name from "Technology and Programming for Secondary Math Teaching" to
"Technology for Secondary Math Teaching " to reflect what is actually done in the course in practice.
MATH 3215 – Add MATH 3214 as pre- or co-requisite and add “junior standing or consent of instructor” to prerequisites, based on outcomes assessments which showed that students need more mathematical maturity to
succeed
MATH 3304 – Replace MATH 3303, which is being dropped, with MATH 2303 as pre-requisite
MATH 3305 – Replace MATH 3303, which is being dropped, with MATH 2303 as pre-requisite
MATH 3305 – Add MATH 4500 as a pre-requisite based on outcomes assessments, which showed that students
would be better prepared for MATH 3305 if they took MATH 4500 first.
MATH 4500 & MATH 4501– Change description to reflect reorganization of topics in MATH 4500 Modern
Algebra I and MATH 4501 Modern Algebra II – We shuffled topics because we have learned that the topics we
were covering in Modern Algebra II were more directly related to secondary school mathematics than the topics
in Modern Algebra I. Since all secondary teaching majors take Modern Algebra I, but very few take Modern
Algebra II, it made sense to swap the content of the two courses to better suit the needs of the students.
MATH 4510/5510 – Drop MATH 4500 from the list of pre-requisites for MATH 4510/5510. A review of the
course has shown that the content of MATH 4510 is not essential for success in MATH 4510/5510.
STAT 3775/5775 – Change MATH 2422 Calculus III from a pre-requisite to a co-requisite for STAT 3775/5775.
A review of the course has shown that the sequencing of the topics in MATH 2422 allows students enrolled in
both MATH 2422 and STAT 3775/5775 to learn the content in MATH 2422 they need to succeed in STAT
3775/5775. The change will give students more flexibility in scheduling their courses.
The restatement of the B.A. Mathematics – Teaching Major is intended to allow students maximum flexibility in
scheduling their courses and thereby make it possible for students to move through the program faster.
IX.
BUDGET SUMMARY FOR DEPARTMENT
(should summarize needs for entire curriculum proposal package)
A. Will the curriculum changes proposed in this package increase the budgetary needs of the department?
X No
Yes
If NO, explain the changes in the department or the departmental rotation of courses
which offset the costs.
enter text here No new courses were added. The changes in pre-requisites all involve courses
that are required in the program. The only thing that changes is the timing of when the students
have to take these courses. The proposed changes will have no impact on the department
budget.
If YES, identify the total costs.
1. Staff
2. Additional facilities
3. Equipment
4. Support personnel
5. Library requirements
6. Computer service
7. Educational technology
8. Other services (identify)
