New Programs and Innovations Committee Minutes January 17, 2013 Called to order at 9:35 a.m. Present: G. Adams (Chair), S. Barnard, Y. Choi, J. Critzer, L. DeLisle, H. Dostal, Y.

Gebremariam, P. Sessler Brandon, M. Skinner I. New Business

A. Notifications of 1 special topic offering was presented and logged.

Course # Transcript Title Semester Times taught HIS 398 The American Presidency Fall 2013 2 Description of logged courses with full titles HIS 398 The American Presidency This course analyzes the development of the roles, jurisdictions, and powers of the American Presidency from the first George W to the recent George W. The influence of personalities will be noted, along with the institutional growth. Both domestic and foreign policy issues will be examined.

B. NPIC reopened its discussion of current catalog language pertaining to definitions of cognates and of minor programs.

a. Cognates: By way of completing cognates, students may currently find that they are within three to nine credits of completing a minor. Some departmental minors allow students to apply credits from their cognate courses to a minor in that area. To clarify that cognates which reinforce majors may also fulfill minor requirements, that some departments may use cognates to augment their minors, as well as to allow for needed flexibility in revising cognate requirements, NPIC is proposing new catalog

proposed language be forwarded to the Senate Academic Planning Committee for comment prior to being brought forth to the UCF body for a vote. Current Definition: - -15 credits in one or several related discipline or minor (emphasis added) field, planned with departmental advisement. Proposed Definition: - disciplin , or minor, planned with departmental or program advisement. A requirements for a minor.

Page 7: Undergraduate Curriculum Forum AGENDA Adanti Student ......Jan 24, 2013  · JRN 200 Basics of Journalism JRN 375 Courts and Crime JRN 410 Television News & Documentary II JRN 490

b. Minors: NPIC has received clarification from LEPC, the UCF Chair and

Provost Kennedy that Minor Programs may use LEP courses to satisfy minor requirements at the discretion of the program. Additionally, the committee noted that the definition needs to reflect minors that draw on courses in more than one discipline. Therefore, NPIC recommends replacing the existing catalog definition of an include clarifying language. NPIC recommends sending the proposed language to the Senate Academic Policy Committee for comment prior to bringing the revised language to the UCF body for a vote. Current Definition: - outside

Proposed Definition:

- , usually of 18 credits, earned in addition to requirements, with options available under departmental or minor program advisement. Courses used to satisfy the Liberal Education Program may be used as courses in the minor.

Meeting adjourned at 10:50 a.m. Respectfully submitted by Gregory Adams

PRAC  minutes  for    1/17/13    Present:    J.  Webb,  C.  Dellinger-­‐Pate,  M.  Bay,  P.Kahlbaugh,  T.  Lin,  M.  Enjalran,  T.  Radice,  M.  Davidson,  M.  Fede,  S.  Clerc  Absent:  K.  Gorniak    Meeting  came  to  order  at  9:45  a.m.    The  Committee  recommends  that  UCF  grant  continuing  approval  to  the  Exercise  Science  department.    As  requested,  Dr.  Swartz  submitted  an  additional  document  for  Exercise  Science  covering  PRAC  standards  16  &  17:  strengths/weakness  and  vision  or  plan  for  the  future.      PRAC  reviews  are  in-­‐external  review,  it  might  be  the  ability  to  be  candid,  even  blunt,  in  the  report  that  stays  within  the  family.  The  Exercise  Science  report  for  standards  16  &  17  is  an  example.      The  strengths  of  the  department  lie  in  the  curriculum  and  faculty.  Exercise  Science  has  carefully  structured  a  cohesive,  progressive  curriculum  that  ensures  Southern  graduates  receive  both  didactic  instruction  and  clinical  practice.  The  faculty  are  dedicated  to  student  success  and,  remarkably,  manage  to  achieve  it  in  spite  of  deplorable  conditions.      As  is  the  case  with  many  departments  at  Southern,  Exercise  Science  is  hindered  in  their  educational  mission  by  chronic  understaffing.  Faculty  who  have  left  have  not  been  replaced,  and  instructional  credits  that  were  once  split  with  another  department  have  been  removed  entirely  without  replacement.      Faculty  are  dispersed  across  3  buildings  and  the  4  members  of  the  Athletic  Training  program  share  one  office,  making  it  impossible  for  students  to  have  any  privacy  when  meeting  with  their  instructors.    These  problems  are  overshadowed,  however,  by  the  frankly  shameful  physical  conditions  in  which  both  students  and  faculty  must  function.  As  the  report  aptly  states:      

With  the  impending  destruction  of  Seabury  Hall,  Pelz  Gymnasium  will  be  assuming  the    role  of  campus  eye-­‐sore  complete  with  layers  of  filth  and  cockroach  infestation.  

 The  classroom  spaces  additionally  suffer  from  erratic  climate  control  that  sometimes  raises  the  temperature  to  near  90  degrees,  and  the  lab  spaces  are  converted  closets.    Paint  is  peeling  from  unwashed  walls,  ceiling  tiles  are  missing  due  to  water  damage,  and  vermin  occupy  the  building.  Pelz  is  not,  as  the  report  points  out,    conducive  to  a  learning  environment.  From  the  description  in  the  report,  it  appears  to  also  pose  a  threat  to  health  and  safety.      The  Committee  has  read  reviews  from  many  departments  that  struggle  with  antiquated  equipment,  lack  of  technical  support,  and  inadequate  instruction  and  lab  space,  but  to  read  that  our  students  and  faculty  are  working  in  the  conditions  that  exist  in  Pelz  Gymnasium  is  shocking.      The  state  of  Pelz  Gymnasium  is  an  embarrassment  to  the  university.  PRAC  urges  the  administration  to  respond  quickly  and  substantively,  per  the  resolution  at  the  beginning  of  this  academic  year,  to  the  Department  of  Exercise  Science  about  how  this  situation  can  be  mitigated.

Wednesday,  December  12,  2012      

3:00  4:45pm    ASC  201  

Meeting  Minutes  

Present:  Kim  Laing,  Dave  Petroski,  Winnie  Yu,  Nicole  Henderson,  Elliott  Horch,  Mike  Shea  

 

Call  to  Order:  3:11  p.m.  

Announcements  

Committee  and  Ad  Hoc  reports    

Report  from  Winnie  Yu    Tech  Fluency  (TF  Steering  Committee  met  on  11/5/12)  and  subsequent  discussion:  

1.    Enrollment  projection  for  Fall  2013    Bruce  Kalk  came  to  the  meeting  to  share  insights  on  the  projected  Fall  2013  enrollment.    The  university  is  expecting  900  transfer  students  in  addition  to  the  1250  freshmen  in  the  Fall  2013.    Transfer  students  with  up  to  60  credits  will  be  joining  the  LEP.    There  may  also  be  a  reduction  of  number  of  sections  offered  in  COM205  (currently  a  TF  course)  due  to  internal  departmental  planning.    Bruce  mentioned  that  offering  TF  courses  during  the  summer  may  be  helpful  in  resolving  this  increased  need.  

-­‐  UWIC  just  approved  a  new  journalism  TF  course,  but  COM  205  will  probably  be  withdrawn  from  TF  over  the  next  few  years  because  of  concern  over  class  quality  and  lack  of  technical  support  

-­‐LEPC  needs  to  know  what  would  be  needed  to  run  COM  205  sections  and  advocate  for  it  (more  classrooms  with  computers,  competent  adjunct  faculty  which  may  mean  long-­‐    2.    TF  Assessment  Plan  -­‐  The  TF  rubric  was  updated  to  show  that  there  are  4  rankings  under  each  of  the  9  learning  goals.        Improvement  Office  of  Assessment  and  Planning  will  prepare  a  spreadsheet  for  each  section  of  TF  courses  for  this  semester  pre-­‐populated  with  the  roster.    These  spreadsheets  will  be  sent  to  each  TF  instructor  to  assess  how  well  each  student  has  met  the  9  learning  goals.    The  completed  spreadsheets  will  be  sent  to  Winnie,  who  will  then  forward  them  to  the  Office  of  Assessment  and  Planning.    These  data  will  be  compiled  by  Office  

Page 14: Undergraduate Curriculum Forum AGENDA Adanti Student ......Jan 24, 2013  · JRN 200 Basics of Journalism JRN 375 Courts and Crime JRN 410 Television News & Documentary II JRN 490

of  Assessment  and  Planning  for  a  TF  assessment  report.    The  updated  rubric  is  attached  to  this  email  update.      

-­‐  assessment  can  be  used  to  ask  for  resources    3.    Action  from  Spring  2012  Assessment  Cycle  -­‐  The  TF  Assessment  Report  from  Spring  2012  indicated  that  the  learning  on  topics  such  as  spreadsheets  and  database  could  use  some  strengthening.    Winnie  will  contact  Faculty  Development  Office  to  inquire  about  the  possibility  of  mini-­‐workshops  for  TF  faculty  on  these  topics.    4.    TF  Tutoring  Center    it  was  discussed  that  a  tutoring  center  for  students  taking  TF  courses  would  be  very  helpful.    This  could  be  done  through  the  existing  tutoring  center  or  independently.    Deb  will  request  that  Marty  Hartog  discuss  this  with  Interim  Provost  Kennedy.    5.    BOR  Policy  on  Information  Security    there  is  strong  reaction  to  the  new  BOR  Information  Security  Policy.    The  TF  Steering  Committee  will  draft  a  response  on  the  new  policy  and  share  with  the  administration.  

Motion:  LEPC  recommends  that  resources  be  provided  for  student  tutoring  in  Tech  Fluency  and  Critical  Thinking.  (moved  by  Mike,  seconded  by  Elliott;  passed  unanimously)  

Motion:  LEPC  recommends  that  resources  be  provided  for  workshops  every  semester  to  enhance  faculty  Tech  Fluency  knowledge  and  skills.  (moved  by  Mike,  seconded  by  Elliott;  passed  unanimously)

1) LEP  transfer  -­‐  Guidelines  for  fall  2013-­‐spring  2014  

Currently  approved  guidelines  for  fall  2012-­‐spring  2013:  

Students  entering  SCSU  with  44  or  fewer  credits  will  be  advised  as  LEP  students.  

Students  entering  SCSU  with  45-­‐59  credits  will  have  their  transcripts  evaluated  by  Academic  Advising  to  determine  the  best  program  to  maximize  use  of  transfer  credits.  

Students  entering  SCSU  with  60  credits  or  more  will  be  advised  under  the  AUR  program.    

Motion:  Guidelines  for  Fall  2013-­‐spring  2014  

Students  entering  SCSU  with  74  or  fewer  credits  will  be  advised  as  LEP  students.

Students  entering  SCSU  with  75-­‐89  credits  will  have  their  transcripts  evaluated  by  Academic  Advising  to  determine  the  best  program  to  maximize  use  of  transfer  credits.  

Students  entering  SCSU  with  90  credits  or  more  will  be  advised  under  the  AUR  program.    

(moved  by  Elliott,  seconded  by  Mike;  approved  unanimously)  

2) Equivalency  versus  comparability  

Syllabi  from  Gateway  had  some  mixed  content;  some  acceptable,  some  not  

We  have  to  be  aware  tof  the  lack  of  tiering  at  other  schools.  

The  sooner  we  coordinate  with  TAP,  the  easier  the  transfer  process  will  be;  perhaps  consider   -­‐ -­‐ will  take  now  and  what  we  would  like  to  see  before  real  TAP.    This  would  also  help  non-­‐Associates  students  transfer.  

Major  complaint  from  transfers  is  SCSU  decision  not  to  allow  transfer  courses  into  the  LEP  if  the  corresponding  course  at  SCSU  is  not  in  the  LEP  

We  need  a  Southern  LEP  grid  with  the  corresponding  courses  at  the  CCs  that  can  be  given  to  CC  advisers  

Communication  is  not  the  only  issueknow  what  they  want  to  do  or  where  they  want  to  go

Kim  requested  an  expedited  process  for  program  revision  in  response  to  the  expedited  process  for  Tier  3.  

Information  sheet  and  one-­‐page  form  to  be  sent  out  to  all  departments  asking  for  transitional  Tier  2s,  transitional  Tier  3s,  and  new  Tier  3s.  

This  committee  will  review  the  form  in  the  spring,  but  it  will  start  being  used  now  as  a  pilot.  

Degree  evaluations  need  to  be  made  accurate  as  quickly  as  possible,  so  Dean  Durnin  will  be  asked  to  sign  off  for  the  Business  School  ASAP.
