COSC 112: Introduction to Programming Online Lab new course proposal
COSC 212: Programming Data Structures Online Lab new course proposal
Comments: We did not have the program of study to see where these new
courses fit into any available COSC programs. There was a request made
for all available paperwork to be sent to CAC-S so we can make more
informed decisions about new course proposals.
Course description for 212 is same as course description for 112 on the
submitted paperwork.
Make sure all syllabi and paperwork do not reflect the old course
numbering of 111a.

Faculty comment: Susan Haynes provided an update of what is going on in the
department of Computer Science. There has been a proposal put forth to
restructure the College of Technology to include Computer Science (thereby
removing it from the College of Arts and Sciences). A handout provided the
rationale for this proposal from the College of Technology, Wade Tornquist. The
department will be submitting feedback regarding this proposal by a deadline of
October 25, 2013. The department did not see this coming; the Provost told the
Computer Science department back in April that these discussions were not
happening. This proposal will come to CAC after Computer Science gives its
input so this information is being given to the Science subcommittee for
awareness purposes only. Historically, Computer Science faculty members have
been trained heavily in science and/or math, so the inclination is for this
department to stay with the sciences.
Meeting was adjourned at 5:11pm by Chair, Amy Flanagan Johnson.
Respectfully submitted by Natalie Dove, CAC-S Secretary (2013-2014)
