·
Updates on General Education Council Meeting from C. Vickery and J.
Summerfield.
·
Updates on unapproved courses from Sociology, Music, Chemistry and
Philosophy. C. Vickery has been in touch with the various departments to
ensure that the proposals be modified in order to be sent out for review.
·
The
membership renewal process was discussed: every other year GEAC membership
conclude, and the committee makes recommendation for reappointment or
replacement to UCC. This year C. Vickery’s, J. Allen’s
and L. Cook’s memberships are due.
·
The
managing of retroactive approvals for existing courses that have been later
approved by GEAC was discussed. The committee agreed that retroactive
approval should be granted to courses approved between Fall 2009 and Fall
2010. GEAC will send a statement to UCC, which will then take this issue to
the Academic Senate.
·
The
committee discusses how to best handle changes to proposals that are already
in the system (the current system allows proposers to make changes at any
point, without notifying the committee). It was agreed that for now the best
system is to encourage proposers to send a document with the changes they
wish to be made to their existing submissions or to notify the committee
when they make any changes to their submissions.
Notes
* The committee agrees that the syllabus
should be revised and a paragraph explaining how the course satisfies the
PLAS requirements added. Moreover, the course should only satisfy 1 context
of experience (either ET or US) and not two.
**The committee agrees that the syllabus
should be more detailed and include what skills students are going to learn
in this course.
Respectfully submitted,
Lucia Pozzan, Recording secretary
