3.     Approval of Summary Minutes – October 13, 2003
It was MSC (Moyers/Wisner) to approve the summary minutes of October 13, 2003.

4.     Course Approvals

a.     New Courses – First Reading

(1)       BUS*010 – Global Business – DL – 3.0 Units
This item is tabled until the course revision has been submitted and approved.

(2)       BUS*050 – Administrative Office Procedures – DL – 4.0 Units
This item will be removed from the agenda and CRC disk.  Jennifer will email the file to the representative for future submittal.

(6)       BUS*086 – Internet for Business Users – DL – 4.0 Units
This item is tabled until the course revision has been submitted and approved.

(7)       EDUC*001 – Introduction to College Teaching & Learning Strategies – 1.0 Unit
Harriett stated that as far as she knows, we can create our prefixes without State input.  Since this is a stand-alone course, it would have to go to the State for approval.  The State feedback could be concerns over whether this was designed for in-house use, would it be advertised to all students, is it really a staff development function, etc.  Ed code limits transferability of educational credits to 6 units (which is being reviewed).  Jane’s vision is to include students in this section in the future which would enhance this course.  Harriett would like to research this further and include it as part of a more organized program and larger picture.  Harriett suggested offering this course as an experimental course.  There is still the issue of tying it to an existing department.  This item will be tabled until next week’s meeting while Jane and Harriett work on some of the issues. 

(8)       ENGR*029 – Programming Skills Practicum for Engineers – 3.0 Units
This item will be removed from the agenda and the CRC disk since the proposer is rewriting the course.  Jennifer will email the file to the representative for future submittal.

(9)       PSYCH*002(A) – Experimental Psychophysiology – 4.0 Units
There is an issue with the course number because PSYCH*002 has been inactivated in the system.  Chris agreed to change the number to PSYCH*002A.  {Delete PSYCH*002 file from disk}.  This course will go forward for second reading with the new course number.

(10)    PT*035 – Beginning Pharmacology – DL – 1.5 Units
This item will be removed from the agenda and CRC disk.  Jennifer will email the file to the representative for future submittal.

(11)    VN*035 – Beginning Pharmacology – DL – 2.0 Units|
This item will be removed from the agenda and CRC disk.  Jennifer will email the file to the representative for future submittal.

(12)    VN*55A2 – Medical Surgical Nursing Theory – DL – 4.0 Units
This DL course will go forward for second reading and approval will be granted contingent on the Board of Trustees approving the rescission of the Spring 2003 revisions.  (Rescinding the revision on this course will change the course name from VN*030 back to VN*55A2 so it is appropriate to have a DL course for VN*55A2 once the revision is rescinded.)

(8)       FDRST*079 – Introduction to Wine and Food Pairing – 3.0 Units
Yolanda presented an explanation of Life Long Learning requirement.  Harriett has questions about the legality of offering this course with underage students registered.  This course will be tabled until the proposer can offer answers to the questions that were raised.  Both Don and Yolanda feel there is a lack of breadth for lifelong learning general education.  Scott Brunson joined the meeting to discuss the committee’s concerns.  Scott is okay with removing the GE requirement for lifelong learning.  Total consumption of wine during each class is 4-5 ounces.  Scott encourages all students to spit out their wine and provides cups to do that.  Harriett is uncomfortable with serving alcohol to minors.  She will work with the department.  This item will be tabled until next meeting.
