Category Proposal

  • Discussion Needed
    • PH 27 – Physical Science
      • No link between assessment and course activities.
      • The syllabus feels undeveloped and provides little to no information on labs, assignments or homework.
      • The form makes a reference to the course being a hybrid, but there is no other information in regards to this anywhere on the syllabus.
        • Send back with a request that more information be included in the syllabus and to ask that they submitters clarify if the course is a hybrid.
    • ANTH 380 – Contemporary Global Issues
      • There appears to have been a glitch in CPS and the course was not sent back to the submitter with the original notes for changes.
        • It remained in Baccalaureate Core (BC) queue.
        • There are now two reviewer forms in the system.
          • Send back with original suggestions for changes.
    • ATS 341 – Science, Technology and Society
      • It’s heavily influenced by Physical Science but the co-authors on readings branch into other areas and show how topics link to technology and society.
      • It is lacking the ‘reach out’ statement
        • This is a new syllabus requirement; most previously submitted courses will be missing this.
          • Approved, with a request that the new ‘reach out’ statement be added.
  • No Discussion Needed
    • GEO 430 – Writing Intensive Curriculum
      • Approved
