4.   New Business:

a.   New Processes and Schedule for CRC

Dianne present the new CRC process for the upcoming semester.  All problems, discussions and forms/paperwork related to the course must be completed in the technical review committee before it can move forward to the first and second reading. 

 

The Technical Review committee will consist of two teams:  Team A will include Applied Sciences, ESL, Natural Sciences, Technology and CATA (2nd position  – currently unfilled); Team B includes CATA, Commercial Services, Mathematics, Social Sciences and Student Development.  Each representative is required to only attend his/her assigned meetings, but they are more than welcome to attend all technical review meetings scheduled.  Important dates to remember: technical review (02/09, 02/23, 03/01, 03/08, 03/15, 03/22);  last date to turn in everything (03/22); first reading (04/12); second reading (04/29); additional tech review for next year (04/26, 05/03, 05/10, 05/17).  It was suggested proposer submit course(s) in a timely manner to assure enough time for review, since many courses submitted for review are not error/problem-free.

 

Proposer will submit all paperwork to their representative, and the representative in turn will check for completeness and submit it to the technical review committee.  Once the course and paperwork have been reviewed by the technical review committee, both the final electronic copy of the course and completed paperwork will be forwarded to Hoan for additional checking and signatures (Academic Senate, VP of Instruction, President, Chancellor).

Additionally, those courses that were on the December 8, 2003 agenda will be moved to the “Super Mondays” for approval.  Hoan will follow up and notify representative for missing paperwork for those courses.

b.   MCF form training

Kara did a step by step example of CIS 049 to help out CRC representatives understand how to fill the MCF form properly.

 

5. Old Business

a.   Hours by Arrangement update

There was a district meeting at West Valley on February 6th which included both campuses’ CRC Chairs, both campuses’ VP of Instruction, Jim Wilczak and Jim Burrell to discuss “Hours By Arrangement”.  As a follow up to this meeting, Dianne McKay will contact each department and conduct a study/survey of how these HBA are being used.

 

b.   Online curriculum project

Dianne McKay has been involved in the implementation of the beta version of online curriculum.  She presented some of the basic features to the CRC representatives and asked for volunteers to test out the application.  The test site to the online curriculum is at <www.wvcweb.com/public/curricul_server/index.html>.
