The committee discussed the current UCC proposal
that Context of Experience be detached from the Area of Knowledge
requirement. The committee’s understanding is that future proposals for
courses that only satisfy Context of Experience will not be submitted to
GEAC and that GEAC will be solely responsible for courses satisfy an Area of
Knowledge.
Notes
* C. Vickery met
and discussed the necessary revisions with the authors of the proposals. The
committee is waiting for the revised proposals to be submitted.
**The committee agrees that the proposal should be more explicit about how ‘data and evidence are construed and knowledge acquired’ in the specific discipline.
***The committee
agrees that the syllabus should explicitly position the course in the
Liberal Arts and Sciences and state how the course satisfies the PLAS
requirements. The committee also discussed whether high school algebra is an
appropriate prerequisite for PLAS courses.
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 1:35 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
L. Pozzan, Recording Secretary
