Communications:

According to the schedules received, the only possible time for the committee to meet in the spring is on Monday’s from 10-11. 

 

Business items:

 

The committee refined the flow chart.   Some of the items under themes throughout the curriculum were deleted as they were redundant. Language in the various quadrants was edited.  It is important that any revision provide students with a better understanding of why general education is important.  They should know that there is a migration of knowledge from the core courses into major courses as well.

The Assessment Advisory Group is interested in the flow chart.  It will provide a starting point for assessment.  Professor Smith will forward a document that is helpful for developing goals and objectives. 

Chair Winkler will draft a message to be sent with the flow chart to ASCRC and send it to the committee for comments.

 

 

The meeting was adjourned.
