ITEM Specific charge from Steering Committee:
1
The Committee would also be asked to review curricular
modifications and course revisions to accommodate Learning
Academies
On-going consideration of the curricular impact of eportfolios; consideration of the possibility of an STX-100
that would be full-semester, 1 credit (with the notion that the
Curriculum Committee would vet the syllabus of such a
course, and review who would teach it, what it would cover,
and whether it would become a single-credit required course,
or a pre-requisite for English 101.)
assess the effectiveness of QCC basic skills remediation,
particularly in light of recent decrease in those passing the
exit exams
Review curricular implications for the possibility of extra
contact hours for selected remedial courses (noting Middle
States and statistical findings on learning outcomes in this
area)
As part of welcoming the Veterans into civilian life;
formulate DANTES policy for granting credit for military
service.
Work with members of Humanities Departments to
