Category II Proposals

  • Discussion Needed
    • ECON 428 (WIC)
      • The committee discussed that the critical thinking outcomes need to be more explicit in the syllabus.
      • The committee also discussed that it was not clear in the syllabus which assignments were lower stakes, informal writing.
      • The course satisfies WIC requirements.
        • Approve with a note to the originator to be more explicitly state the critical thinking outcomes and make it clear which assignments are informal writing.
    • BIO 101
      • The course has an unusually large syllabus, making it a somewhat difficult to locate the learning objectives.
        • The committee suggests moving the learning outcomes closer to the top of the syllabus so they are easier for students to find.
          • Approve with suggestions to the originator.
  • No Discussion Needed
    • ES 213 (DPD)
      • Approve
