Update on progress of proposals
There was discussion on why our Computer Science AS-T exceeds the recommended
number of units. All of our classes that fit into this major are higher in units than those
listed on the template. Agreed to ask Dale Wagoner to write a letter to Barry Russell
telling him that we un able to submit this degree and why.
7.
Tutorials
Deonne Kunkel explained the attempt to level Tutoring classes and the reasoning behind
how the course outlines were developed. The outlines may not show enough progression
from one to the next. Jane asked members to list their comments on CurricUNET, and if
they are supportive, she will send the courses forward. Another option would be to list
the course as 0.5 to 2 units, schedule each semester as 0.5 units, and allow repeats by
petition. Kent will discuss that option with Marcia Corcoran.
8.
Colloquia
Jane distributed the revised proposal for future Colloquia courses. MSC (Flores/Pitcher)
to approve the draft as presented. Jane asked members to take the draft back to their
division meetings as information. She will also email the vice-presidents and deans.
9.
Good of the Order
Jane announced that she is coming to the end of her tenure as Curriculum Committee
Chair. This is a 4 CAH per semester release time position. If you are interested, please
let her know. She hopes to elect a new chair by the end of the semester, with that person
to start in Fall 2013.
Dates that affect Curriculum deadlines:
• CSU submissions – mid-December
• UC review – June and October
• Class schedule print date (Summer and Fall 2013 went to print March 8)
• Catalog/Catalog addendum (late March to mid-April)
Jane thanked everyone for their hard work and support. She stated that today is the
official end of the 2013-14 curriculum cycle. New submissions will be accepted starting
in April, and will be approved for implementation in Fall 2014.
