2. COLLEGE LEVEL CRITICAL THINKING TASKS/ASSIGNMENTS:
Degree applicable courses must include critical thinking tasks/assignments. This section need not be completed for noncredit courses. Describe how the course requires students to independently analyze, synthesize, explain, assess, anticipate
and/or define problems, formulate and assess solutions, apply principles to new situations, etc.
 students will work with a variety of new materials (fibers) with which they will learn to analyze and assess the
appropriateness of these (fibers) for papermaking.
 students will engage in sheet formation and learn to evaluate the equipment and raw materials for appropriateness in
production of differing types of papers.
 students will be required to integrate a variety of techniques & materials to develop new creative and unique solutions
to craft production and aesthetic design.
 students will critique work for problem solving and aesthetic evaluation.
3. ASSESSMENT
Degree applicable courses must have a minimum of one response in category 1, 2, or 3. If category 1 is not checked, the
department must explain why substantial writing assignments are an inappropriate basis for at least part of the grade.

REQUEST FOR EXCEPTION

To request an exception, provide the following information:

Course Title
NATURE OF THE EXCEPTION REQUESTED AND RATIONALE:
1.
This course should be repeatable (up to 3 enrollments) because it is primarily a skill development
course and lecture content is different for which repetition in the controlled environment of the classroom
enhances the abilities of the student to utilize these skills independently of class. It conforms to expectations
and outcomes of most of the other art courses which are also repeatable.
2.
There is no textbook. The reading material for this course is substantially included in a syllabus
that is updated each semester which itself includes a recommended bibliography for continuing research
beyond the scope of this short course.
