BUS 078C (new and DL) was removed for discussion. 

 

Peggy Messerschimdt, representing the English department,  presented a list identifying the overlapping areas between ENGL 075 and BUS 078C.  She felt that about 80% of the course content and objectives are overlapping with ENGL 075.  Although ENGL 075 has not been offered for the past several semesters, the English department is planning on revising the course and would like to entertain the idea of having these two courses co-listed.

 

Melanie Meyers, representing the Business department, also presented a document identifying areas that may be overlapping.  She felt that there is little overlapping if any between the two courses.  While both courses have assignments covering reports and proposals, the courses differ in their focused audience and perspectives, and therefore co-listing the courses would not be a good idea.

 

After some discussion on the overlapping issue, it was discovered that there are no official overlapping policy in place.  Also, Yolanda Coleman reported that many other colleges currently have similar courses in their curriculum.  It was MSC (Dworak/Szabados) to move BUS 078 and BUS 078(DL) forward for second reading (6 for/ 0 against/ 3 abstain). The English department would also have the opportunity for further discussion at the next meeting before these courses are approved to go to the board.
