GE Course Outlines and Addendum There were no new course outlines to be reviewed. We again discussed the speaking requirement and its efficacy in on-line courses. Don called to our attention the memo written by a part time faculty member in his department, Murph Kinney, urging us to consider removing this requirement for on-line courses. We agreed that as an advisory committee to Curriculum Committee, we could only make recommendations. A change in the GE criteria would probably need to go through Curriculum Committee to Academic Senate. We will consider whether or not to make this recommendation to Curriculum Committee at a future meeting. Update on Critical Thinking Teaching Communities The next meeting of Pilot A, Ethnic/Multicultural Studies, will be on October 18. Meanwhile, it is assumed that instructors in those courses are moving ahead with showing the video, Race: The Power of Illusion, and having students do an in-class writing to the assessment prompt. Pilot B, Creative Arts and Humanities, had its first meeting on September 23. We reviewed the minutes of that meeting and discussed the group’s decision to adopt the assessment criteria for critical thinking offered by the GE committee at the program level, with one adjustment – adding to criteria “f” the phrase “within the context of moral and ethical issues”. Review draft of new language for Program Level Student Learning Outcomes We spent quite a bit of time discussing the draft of Program Level Student Learning Outcomes for the GE Program that Nancy had written. Cindy advocates keeping the Program Level Student Learning Outcomes at a broader level. She feels there should be a distinction between the measurable verbs used for assessment criteria and the more “goalish” spirit of program level outcomes. We are still contemplating that distinction, and decided to give it more thought before reaching a decision. We will continue the discussion at our next meeting. Review drafts of assessment criteria for Program Level Student Learning Outcomes We reviewed the assessment criteria Nancy wrote for the reading, writing, and speaking criteria. In general, people seemed to feel it reflected the original wording and intent of the existing GE criteria. At the very end of the meeting, we spent about 10 minutes discussing the proposal from Ken for the interdisciplinary criteria. He feels the existing criteria are so vague, that it needs modification before it will be assessable. Nancy suggested that perhaps we could propose that modification and work it through the necessary channels before it would be assessed. Speaking of necessary channels, we briefly discussed what happens with our attempt to convert the existing criteria to student learning outcomes and assessment criteria. Does it go to Curriculum Committee? Academic Senate? This is another future agenda item. ?­Нѕ Й к F x §GdЗњњіяіяіяіяіяіяі h]cШ5>*h]cШ h]cШ5$456–—ЋЌ­МНєѕ  З И Й й к D E F w x њњњњњјјјјјјјјјјјјјјјјјјјјјјј$a$њўx  ‘ §FGdefЗИ†‡ѕіљњ§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§,1hАа/ Ар=!А"А# $ %ААаАа а†œ@@ёџ@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DAђџЁD Default Paragraph FontVi@ѓџГV  Table Normal :V і4ж4ж laі (k@єџС(No List њ џџџџ$456–—ЋЌ­МНєѕЗИЙйк  DEFwx‘§FGd e f З И † ‡ ѕ і љ ќ hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€hŽ0€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€њ x њ њ џџ{nЦŒЇ|nЦlЁS }nЦМ;O ~nЦ,EnЦd€nЦLS nЦДEP ‚nЦŒР‹‹ММм м l l ќ ССс с q q ќ 8*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€City€9*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€place€ | hnAJФ д ќ 333х„\Ё]cШџ@€Јб вњ `@џџUnknownџџџџџџџџџџџџG‡z €џTimes New Roman5€Symbol3& ‡z €џArial"qˆ№аh1ТЩf1ТЩfя я ™#№ ДД24dє є ^2ƒq№мHP №џ?фџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџ„\Ё2џџGeneral Education CommitteeInformation TechnologyInformation Technologyўџр…ŸђљOhЋ‘+'Гй0 ˜МШшє 0< \ h t€ˆ˜фGeneral Education CommitteeInformation TechnologyNormalInformation Technology2Microsoft Office Word@FУ#@~Є]Щ@~Є]Щя ўџеЭеœ.“—+,љЎ0 hpŒ”œЄ ЌДМФ Ь єфагАЩДЋУНє Ћ General Education Committee Title ўџџџўџџџўџџџ!"#$%&'ўџџџ§џџџ*ўџџџўџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџRoot Entryџџџџџџџџ РFаŸэ]Щ,€1TableџџџџџџџџWordDocumentџџџџџџџџ.SummaryInformation(џџџџDocumentSummaryInformation8џџџџџџџџџџџџ CompObjџџџџџџџџџџџџqџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџўџ џџџџ РFMicrosoft Office Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.8є9Вq
