Minutes.
MSC to approve the Minutes of March 8, 2013.
2.
Agenda.
MSC to approve the Agenda as distributed.
Entrepreneurship 163S was approved for S designation.
The committee discussed the Nursing 151S proposal. It is the committee’s
interpretation that this is an independent study/internship. As such, there
does not seem specific course content with which to connect “course content”
and service. There are no learning objectives, texts, defined readings, lectures
or other materials that would demonstrate course content. The committee
recommends that Chris meet with the faculty members to discuss these
concerns and determine next steps.
Chris reported that revised syllabi for Soc 1S and 130WS have not been
received. Final consideration will be delayed until the May 3rd meeting.
Steve Hart is working with faculty members on a rewrite of LEE 172ECES.
Chris reports that there are no 5 year S course reviews required until at least
2014.
Betsy reported that the following subcommittee members have accepted and
been approved for extended terms:
Lizhu Davis (Spring 2014
Matthew Jendian (Spring 2016)
Vivien Luo (Spring 2015)
Song Vang is willing to continue her participation as a student member. Chris
will approach Steve Hart to see if he has been able to identify a student from
the Urban Civic Ed Minor to serve as the second student member.
