ALLIED HEALTH/SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY

HLTH XX [52] (Orientation to Health Care, 2 units; 2 lecture)—New; LPC GE,
CSU Transfer, CSU GE
LPC GE: Question was raised by Ms.Alvarado that since this course is a 2-unit
course, approving it for LPC GE might not be as desirable as if it were a 3-unit
course, as this is a 3-unit requirement. However, Ms. Hart reminded that the student
could still elect to satisfy this requirement with this course plus another. Dr. Ruys
stated that this might be an issue for students who would take the course thinking
that it would qualify as fully satisfying their requirement and learning too late that it
does not. Dr. Jones commented on the fact that it would be helpful to the
communication process of the Curriculum Committee if these types of issues were
addressed before the day of the final vote. Ms. Alvarado agreed, but noted that
occasionally these issues do not surface on initial reading. Mr. Schwarz also noted
that having a group discussion is helpful. Dr. Jones reminded that this is the second
time this has happened with an LPC GE approval request and re-emphasized the
importance of getting these questions addressed before the final vote. Ms. Morrissey
asked for clarification on whether the Curriculum Committee was tabling all LPC GE
requests pending further campus-wide discussion and clarification, but Ms. Hart
indicated that an LPC GE vote would be tabled only if circumstances could not allow
a clear outcome.

WELDING TECHNOLOGY—No corrected or revised WELD courses have been received
as of this date. Dean Ryslinge explained that the changes recommended cannot be
made without a larger discussion, and as there have been no answers on these larger
issues, she recommended that the course outlines be evaluated and approved on the
content of the outlines. She reported that there has been no decision on changing the
rubric, which would resolve the discrepancies between the way the Welding curriculum is
taught at the two colleges. The choices would be to accept the outlines or to table them
to the next meeting with an attempt to resolve issues either between the colleges or to
change the rubric. Suggestion to approve the outlines in principle could allow the
revisions to be included in the Catalog, but, as Ms. Hart explained, there have been
issues in the past where approvals in principle have not been followed with actual revised
or corrected course outlines. Dr. Eagan asked whether an email vote could be done on
LPC Curriculum Committee, December 12, 2007

the outlines so that they could be included in the Catalog. Following a general discussion,
it was decided that, if Mr. Miner can get the corrected course outlines ready to be posted
for an email vote within the week, Ms. Hart will set up a Blackboard voting process.
