2.       Approval of Agenda

3.       Approval of Summary Minutes – March 24, 2003
It was MSC (Dworak/Moyers) to approve the summary minutes of March 24, 2003.

4.       Course Approvals

a.       New Courses – First Reading

(1)          GDES*048 – Intermediate Web Animation – 3.0 Units
Anna explained the department has been offering GDES*047 as a beginning course in Web Animation.  The students are ready for the next level.  Added READ*053 under advisories.  Removed the last sentence of the catalog course description.  Anna will email updated textbook information and major information so Jennifer will copy the new information into the course outline.  Committee reviewed course outline, course will go forward for second reading.

 

Kara  noticed Thanh Nguyen was in attendance to discuss the Vietnamese courses.  It was MSC (Moyers/Zummo) to move the review of VIET*001B and VIET*011B up in the agenda.

(2)          VIET*001B – Beginning Vietnamese – 5.0 Units
Discussion ensued about the repeatability of the course.  Don stated that if a student receives a non-standard grade (anything by an A, B, or C), the course would be coded as a repeat but the grade received the second time would replace the first received grade.  Discussion ensued about the initial verb on the student course objectives and revised as necessary.  Committee agreed it would be okay to leave the bullets under the outline of topics.  Committee reviewed course outline, course will go forward for second reading.

(3)          VIET*011B – Vietnamese Laboratory – 0.5 Units
Corrected the total units and hours by arrangement.  The rationale for repeatability was added.  Thanh will check with the Foreign Language department about challenging the course and will get back to us about changing the credit by examination recommendation.  Committee reviewed course outline, course will go forward for second reading.

Ken Colson and Christina Oborn were sent to Washington DC to receive the materials and requirements so we can start offering this program in a contract educational setting.  We are pursuing a grant that would allow us to offer this course through the college.  Jeff Cormier is researching two schools that currently offer certificates and diplomas in this area.  Anna suggested last week’s Business week be reviewed since it discussed preparation of curriculum and this area.  Contract Ed will prepare their own curriculum and probably start this program right away.  Chris recommends we pursue the option of fast-tracking the curriculum for this program.
