Discussion Items

All Internship and Service Learning Courses (xxx 2940-2944) Prerequisites Change –
The Internship Placement Office is requesting a change to the prerequisites for all
internship and service learning courses. This discussion will focus on the desired
changes and approval process.
Karen Borglum spoke to an e-mail from Barbara Frazier and Falecia Williams,
regarding desired changes that the Internship Placement Office (IPO) and Service
Learning area would like to effect for all IPO and Service Learning courses (a list of
courses was provided). Voting had not been completed, so Karen asked if the CCC
feels that since this is an “across the board” change, with so many faculty members
and departments who would be involved in the voting, should the CCC be the group
who votes on this proposal?
There is also an additional issue regarding wording of the new prerequisites. Where
it states, “. . . including any required program/discipline-related courses or Internship
Office, Program Director. . . approval,” does the OR mean that in lieu of any of the
stated prerequisites, a student may be accepted with only the approval of one of
those people or departments? Or, does the OR relate to only the language in the
prerequisites after the “Satisfactory completion of all mandated courses in reading,
mathematics, English, and EAP?”
Jared Graber asked if the request had been reviewed by the Instructional Affairs
Committee. Joe Bivins said no, it had not; Jared said that would seem a likely place
to start. This was agreed upon by the Committee, so Barbara Frazier will be asked to
take the request to the IAC first. Karen will also request clarification from her on the
language of the prerequisites.

Catalog Language “or higher mathematics” – Discussion generated by a proposal at
the February CCC meeting regarding what is meant by “or higher mathematics.”
At the February CCC meeting Colin Archibald, pursuant to his Credit Program
Modification proposal, was asked to research the issue of the wording “or higher
mathematics,” to find out what UCF requires and determine what Valencia means
when that wording is used. He searched through Valencia’s Catalog, where he found
several other instances of this wording. He then checked with UCF, and found that
they require a MAC prefix (not MGF or STA).
While checking Valencia’s Catalog, Colin found that the A.S. degrees in Respiratory
Care and Business Administration both make reference to “MAT 1033 or higher
math”. Since these are A.S. degrees not leading to transfer at the university level, it
was felt that this does not present a problem. However, in an advisory note in the
CIT A.S. Degree program, reference is again made to “MAC 1105 or higher
mathematics.” This program leads into a B.A.S. degree at UCF, so their requirements
are important to this degree. Additionally, the issue of students who transfer to
Valencia from other colleges that have acceptable equivalent course prefixes to MAC
was also discussed, as not all institutions use the MAC prefix.
The language decided upon to be used in Valencia’s Catalog for the Computer
Programming and Analysis A.S. Degree is, “Students who were not required to take
MAC 1105 may use a more advanced MAC or approved equivalent course to meet
the math requirement.”
It was further decided that Karen will send an e-mail out to the other department(s)
affected by this language, i.e. CIT Program voter list, asking if this language will work
for their program.
3.

4. Regular Agenda
0809-074 Computer Programming and Analysis, A.S. Degree, CPM ............... Colin Archibald
Purpose: There are 8 major modifications: 1) Remove all references to the BS IST
articulation. This articulation is not a good option for students in this program, and it
complicated the degree requirements. The reference to the articulation in the
preamble is still valid, but there is more burden on the students to pick their courses
appropriately if they choose that path; 2) Remove A+ Hardware completely. This was
added to be consistent with our common-core objective with the CIT degree, but it was
too costly; 3) Remove list of Business Electives. This was added for the IST articulation.
Still require one business course. Require GEB1011 Intro to Business; 4) Require Social,
Legal, Ethical Issues in IT or Freshman Comp II as one of the Gen Ed courses. The Comp
II requirement was added so students pursuing a Bachelor’s could choose that path;
5) Require COP 2830 Scripting Languages. All AS CP&A graduates will be able to build
dynamic web sites; 6) Require a 3 semester path of programming language courses. All
AS graduates will have taken at least one object-oriented language class; 7) Remove the
Page 3
distinction between restricted and non-restricted electives. Only one list of electives for
CP&A, done by prefix. The CET prefix is in this list allowing students to take the A+
classes. This simplifies the degree significantly; 8) Remove note on CIW Foundation
certification; Effective Date: Fall 2009 (201010). (Voter List, Catalog Changes/Markup,
Summary of Changes in IT Curriculum, and Memo Re: “or higher mathematics”
attached)
(At the February 11 meeting, this proposal received provisional approval. Colin was
asked by the Committee to research UCF’s requirement for “higher math,” and bring
his findings back to the March meeting. An e-mail memo outlining his research is
attached.)
Also, the degree notes (1,2, etc.) will be added following the A.S. Degree. Currently,
they are listed only at the end of the Technical Certificate, making them difficult to
find.)
Colin presented his research to the Committee, and the proposal with the following
wording was approved for the CPA A.S. Degree: ““Students who were not required to
take MAC 1105 may use a more advanced MAC or approved equivalent course to meet
the math requirement.”

Interactive Interpreting III, CCA................................ Debbie Drobney
Purpose: Valencia's A.A. Pre-Major in Sign Language Interpretation is developing an
articulation agreement with the University of North Florida's B.S. in ASL/English
Interpreting. We are changing the course offerings of our program to line up with the
Page 5
requisites of UNF's junior level students. This course is part of UNF’s pre-requisites for
their ASL/English Interpreting program; Catalog Course Description: This course is a
continuation of INT 2201 (Interactive Interpreting II). This course leads the student
through the steps of making a compressed, idiomatic English voicing product that
accurately relays the Deaf signer’s expanded message. The three components of
understanding, telling, and, saying will be the main focus of the course. Videotaped and
live models will be used for skill development; Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C in INT
2201 (interactive Interpreting II) or permission of the instructor; Co-requisite: None;
Credit/Class/Lab Hours: 3/3/0; Effective Date: Fall 2009 (201010)

0809-102 INT 2210
Transliterating, CCA ................................................. Debbie Drobney
Purpose: This course has been modified from the previously offered course titled,
"Interactive Interpreting II w/Transliterating. Because interpreting a spoken message
and transliterating a spoken message require two very different skill sets, it is believed
that transliterating should be a course taught separate from interpreting to enable the
Sign Language student to more clearly assimilate skills necessary to become more
effective in transliterating spoken English into conceptually accurate signed English;
Catalog Course Description: This course is designed to explain and reinforce the
features of the transliteration process. The students will be guided into developing skills
for expressive transliterating through presentation and participation. Audio taped,
videotaped and live materials will be used for skill development; Prerequisites:
Minimum grade of C in INT 2203 (Interactive Interpreting IV) or permission of the
instructor; Co-requisites: None; Credit/Class/Lab: 3/3/0; Effective Date: Fall 2009
(201010)

permission of the instructor,” to “. . . or department approval.”
0809-105 INT 2131
Introduction to Ethics of Interpreting, CCM .............. Debbie Drobney
Purpose: This course description was thought to be too specific to only studying the
ethics of Sign Language interpreting. It is felt that the course really gives students a
more general introduction to the responsibilities and roles of a professional interpreter
as well as an introduction to the ethical considerations professional Sign Language
interpreters must be aware; Revised Course Title: Introduction to Interpreting; Revised
Catalog Course Description: Provides an introduction to the role of the interpreter,
highlighting the application of the National Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf
Professional Code of Conduct in daily interaction with deaf and hearing consumers. Also

0809-111 A.A. Pre-Major: Sign Language Interpretation, CPM .................... Debbie Drobney
Purpose: Valencia’s A.A. Pre-Major in Sign Language Interpretation is developing an
articulation agreement with the University of North Florida’s B.S. in ASL/English
Interpreting. We are changing the course offerings of our program to line up with the
requisites of UNF’s junior level students; Effective Date: Fall 2009 (201010) (Catalog
Mock-Up Attached)
This proposal was approved with the following changes to the Catalog Degree
Program Sheet: under Advanced Courses, remove the 3 cr. for Science, as only 6 cr. for
Science is required; add a 3 cr. Humanities course with an HUM prefix, required for the
A.A. Degree program.
0809-112
General Education Requirements for AA/AS/AAS Degree(s), CPM ........................
............................................................... Debbie Drobney
Purpose: Inasmuch as ASL IV students are required to 'read' ASL literature as well as
demonstrate a level of proficiency in expressing the idiosyncratic nuances of ASL, ASL
should be added as an option to satisfy a Humanities requirement. In addition, doing so
allows Valencia to offer an additional higher level Interpreting course which will solidify
an articulation between Valencia's A.A. Pre-Major in Sign Language Interpreting and
UNF's BS in ASL/English Interpreting; Effective Date: Fall 2009 (201010) (Catalog
Markup Attached)
This proposal was approved as submitted.
