procedures.
b. Elect CRC Co-Chair – It was MSC
(Ensminger/Meyer) to approve Kara Dworak as CRC Co-Chair.
c. Systematic Overview of Curriculum - All
courses must be revised every (6) six years. In the past, this was done through program review. Issues that have arisen include hours
by arrangement (HBA), student learning outcomes (SLOs), balance of curriculum
and program review. At the
Curriculum Institute, the panel indicated that we are out of compliance with
State regulations regarding HBA. A
committee has been established to come up with the guidelines determining the
minimum qualifications of offering HBA and create a proposal to include a form
for new courses. Balance of
curriculum and SLOs will need to involve CRC. CRC has established a sub-committee to address these
issues. The HBA sub-committee will
include H. Thickpenny, M. Meyer and K. Ting. The SLO sub-committee will include
K. Dworak, L. Zummo, B. Wundram, L. Witchi and the Academic Senate.
d. Meeting Procedures and Schedule - Dianne
notified the committee of important deadline dates of the last day to send
electronic (October 11th), and completed paperwork (October 22nd)
so the course(s) can go on the agenda for October 25th and November
1st. The CRC deadline
schedule was passed out to present members.
e. Training for New CRC Members –
There will be a separate meeting to train new CRC members of the procedural
process. Dianne will notify
members when this meeting will take place.
f. Disciplines update (due 10/29) to the
State – The list needs to be updated to include additional disciplines. The list needs to be reviewed and
updated every 3 years.
g. Inactivation of courses – CRC needs
to address the issue of what to do with courses that have not been offered for
a number of years. Some
suggestions are to either
inactivate or just remove from the catalog.
7. Old Business
