Undergraduate Curriculum Council October 17, 2013 -- 3:00-5:00 p.m. in Rendezvous 301 Volume XXX, Meeting 17 (15-17) Minutes – Approved by Curriculum Council on 31 October 2013; Accepted by Deans and Provost on 22 November 2013

A. PRELIMINARIES 1a. Attendance: Members: David Blakeman (Chair), Mike Hansen, Beverly Hewett, Jeff Hill, Mary Hofle, Spencer Jardine, Greg Murphy, Tara Young Ex-Officio: Chris Hunt, Margaret Johnson, Corey Zink Absent: Keane Shuler (ASISU), Emily White Admin. Asst: Catherine Read 1b. Pre-notified absences for this meeting: Jim Bigelow, Wendy Ruchti, Yolonda Youngs; JoAnn Hertz 1c. Known Guests: none

2. Council approved the minutes from its meeting October 10, 2013.

3. Report from the Executive Committee: Met Tues, reviewed proposals and decided to expedite 9. Bigelow updated Blakeman on what UCC did during their October 3rd meeting.

4. Current Committee Activities: Council accepted the BAS/BAT Committee minutes for April 26, 2013

5. Information from Academic Affairs: The Provost has accepted this Council’s minutes for September 26, 2013. Deans previewed a preliminary web input process that chairs and deans will use to submit their narratives on Program Prioritization. They will probably start working on those beginning in November. Blakeman informed members that UCC’s minutes are being sent to Faculty Senate as an information item only for communication purposes. In response to Blakeman’s question, Murphy explained that Deans’ Council and Faculty Senate were each asked to rank the prioritization criteria, and their resulting rankings were remarkably similar. Johnson reminded that this is a State-mandated process. Academic Affairs sees this as an opportunity to identify programs that are underfunded, that need support, or are problematic, so the university can make informed decisions in figuring out the best way to proceed. Murphy said this is also a way to identify inactive programs that are still on the books and can be eliminated. The College of Technology evaluates its programs annually and makes whatever changes are warranted.

6. Information from the Chair: Nothing to report.

7. Information from the Faculty Senate: did not meet, no further information.

8. Other related information or questions: Murphy said College of Business wished to withdraw Proposal 1, Marketing,

1. Council voted to withdraw Proposal 1 from Marketing, as requested by the College of Business, since it has been superceded by Proposals 80 and 83.

2. Council unanimously approved the corrected Proposal 22 from Biological Sciences (Appendix 1) as submitted by Jeff Hill and Rosemary Smith: “This is mainly a housekeeping course rotation proposal to clean up the catalog and a couple of things were missed.” a. BIOL 4406 and 4406L should be OF (not EF). b. BIOL 4442 Plant Animal Interactions was inadvertently omitted and should be EF (not ES). c. BIOL 4471 Fundamentals of Biol Imaging was inadvertently omitted and should be EF (not AS).

3. Proposal 64 from Technical General Education to update TGE 0100M (Math) to require TGE 0100S (Study Skills) as a co-requisite. Still missing ITS/ETS response. Correction to add missing “0”s in Course Changes – TGE 0100M, TEG 0100S Tabled for ITS impact response.

a. Discussion ensued about what to do if Impacts responses are missing from proposals. Blakeman will follow up with the Library and ITS/ETS to ask them whether they still want all proposals sent to them for review.

4. Council unanimously approved Proposal 65 from Technical General Education (Appendix 2) to update TGE 0100W (Writing) to require TGE 0100S (Study Skills) as a co-requisite. Impact responses received.

GERC Proposal 70 PHYS 1153 – Objective 5: Natural Science

Curriculum Proposals:

1. Proposal 11 from Geosciences to add GEOL 4403/5503 as prerequisites for GEOL 4407/5507 and GEOL 4409/5509. History and Geosciences departments have worked together, still need to coordinate with Geomatics. Geosciences chair said two faculty members are working on it, no further word from them. Hill has not heard anything further and requested the proposal be withdrawn.

2. Council unanimously approved the revised Proposal 24 from Biological Sciences (Appendix 6) to replace BIOL 4415/5515 Human Neurobiology with a new course BIOL 4453/5553 Foundations in Neuroscience. BIOL 4415L will continue to be taught, with no change, as it is a

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 3of 95 stand-alone 1-credit lab class. Enrollment is with permission of instructor. If approved, this affects Proposal 37 Biochemistry as well; correction has already been made in Proposal 37.

3. Council approved the corrections to the revised Proposal 37 from Biochemistry (Appendix 7) to match Proposal 24 from Biological Sciences, as requested by Caryn Evilia and Jim Groome, the respective proposal authors. The correction made replaced BIOL 4415 Human Neurology with BIOL 4453 Foundations of Neuroscience. The lab course BIOL 4415L was not changed, and will still be required. Corrections contingent upon approval of Proposal 24.

4. Council unanimously approved the re-revised Proposal 45 from Communication, Media, and Persuasion (Appendix 8) for the new CMP program. Hunt said SBOE replied they would prefer the course prefix not be changed for COMM 1101, at least for this year, because it is a Common Core course. CMP 4457 lists 4455L as co-req – should that be 4457L? This proposal is requesting cross-listed ART 4418 course change its title and course description. The Art Department agrees with the proposed course number change. Contingent upon approval of State Proposal – SBOE has approved the name change, but not the merger.

5. Council unanimously approved Proposal 47 from Languages and Literatures (Appendix 9) for SPAN course and catalog changes The SPAN 4494 and 4495 are the same course, but are early-8 week and late-8 week courses. Banner ensures students cannot register for both. This proposal applies to Graduate level courses as well. Blakeman will inform Graduate Council when this passes. The department confirmed it was eliminating the Co-reqs for SPAN 2200.

6. Proposal 52 from Emergency Medical Services to add a new Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Concentration to the curriculum of an existing degree, the Bachelor of Science (BS) in Health Science. This is a new course that is equivalent to FSA 3335 so it should have the same prereqs. Hewett said they are different programs. Hunt said Mike McKittish wants to take out the Prereqs. Tabled pending receipt of another proposal. Contingent upon SBOE approval.

7. Council unanimously approved Proposal 55 as amended from Chemistry (Appendix 10) for CHEM 3366 scheduling change. The amendments were: for CHEM 3365, delete COREQ CHEM 3366. For CHEM 3366, change to PREREQ or COREQ: CHEM 3365.

8. Council unanimously approved Proposal 68 from Business Technology (Appendix 11) for course and prerequisite changes. Approval contingent upon Hunt verifying the need for the OT 0116 course in the catalog.

D. REMAIN TABLED - TIME CONSTRAINTS

1. Proposal 85 from Pharmacy to adjust credit hours of PHAR 9922 and remove the associated recitation component PHAR 9922R.

2. Proposal 86 from Pharmacy to combine PHAR 9906 Case Studies in Pharmacy I with PHAR 9951 Pharmacotherapy Lab I.

1. Proposal 22. Biological Sciences: various ‘housekeeping’ changes – corrected 10/17/13

Contact: Dr. Rosemary J. Smith, Assoc. Chair, Biological Sciences. [email protected] 282-3481

This proposal replaces the original proposal approved by Curriculum Council on 12 September 2013, correcting a few errors in the original.

Proposal Summary: Housekeeping changes to ready the catalog copy/Banner for implementation of DegreeWorks. Primarily semester designations, co- and pre-requisite clarification, repeatability, and dropped courses.

Faculty Vote: 25 YES, 0 NO. Ballots counted May 3, 2013

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 7of 95 Impacts:

Other College(s) , department(s), facilities, funding, etc.:

ITS / ETS: All of the changes are to existing courses, only housekeeping details are being proposed. The only impacts on IT are using IT in both semesters for some classes, instead of only Fall or Spring (which has already happened). Randy Gaines- No impact on IT. 4/15/2013

Registrar: We have worked closely with the Registrar’s office to make these changes (several were suggested by Chris Hunt to improve integration of Banner).

Library: No impacts on the library are anticipated. Shropshire email: No effects on the library. 4/12/13

Advising: These changes will improve advising and prepare the Department to use DegreeWorks. These updates will provide students with current information on course offerings (by semester), course pre and co-requisites, and course repeatability. Many of these changes will also improve integration with Banner.

“No advising concerns.” JoAnn Hertz. Sept. 4, 2013

REVIEWED BY SPECIFIC COLLEGE UCC REPRESENTATIVE – [ X ] yes [ ] no UCC rep. name ______Dr. Jeff Hill______

Other affected units, if any:

Although the changes to course scheduling may affect other Departments, most of them are either expanding offerings, or changing Alternate to Odd/Even. This should not affect other programs. For pre-requisite or co-requisite courses, no substantive changes that affect other programs. The changes reflect current practices and will ease the use of Banner.

Comments/Review by:

Division of Health Professions: Linda Rankin, Professor and Assistant Dean “I have reviewed your UCC proposal and am certainly supportive on behalf of the Division of Health Sciences of all the changes, particularly adding the BIOL 1101 and 1101L pre-requisite requirements. 4/20/2013.”

Describe the change: We are changing the semesters the courses are offered to reflect current rotations.

Reason for change (if not described on the Cover Letter form): Be sure to include whether or not this is driven by accreditation standards.

The changes represent the rotation schedule as currently adopted by the Department. The Even/Odd designations will provide further information to students that will be useful for degree plans. We recognize that these designations are not coded by Banner or Degree Works, but they provide a more informative catalog description.

Biological Sciences Proposal: Part II.

A. Change an Existing Course --provide Subject Code, Number, and title here:

Action(s): __X Change Prereq(s) __X Change Coreq(s)

Describe the change: We are changing or adding pre-requisites and/or co-requisites to courses.

Reason for change (if not described on the Cover Letter form): Be sure to include whether or not this is driven by accreditation standards.

Four of these changes better reflect the prior learning that faculty expect from students in the course (BIOL 3324, BIOL 4408, BIOL 4434). The pre-requisites are similar to those for other 3xxx and 4xxx courses in the Department.

Four of the changes involve fixing the laboratory-lecture PRE and CO-requisites (BIOL 2207, 2221, 2235, BIOL 3316, BIOL 4444). Changing to PREREQ or COREQ will allow students to re-take a course or a laboratory without having to request a faculty override to take the lecture or lab without the other (when appropriate).

For BIOL 3305, the addition of the Pre-requisite of BIOL 1101 and 1101L meets the expectations of the faculty for students who have already completed BIOL 3301 and 3302 (since at ISU, BIOL 1101 is a PREREQ for BIOL 3301 and 3302). However, many transfer students do not have BIOL 1101/1101L as a pre-requisite to their transferred equivalents to BIOL 3301/3302 and are therefore underprepared. Adding the pre-requisite will ensure that they are equally prepared to take BIOL 3305.

Contact: Clayn Lambert; [email protected]; 282-3257

Proposal Summary:

The catalog description for TGE 0100W (Writing) is being updated to include a concurrent requirement for enrollment in TGE 0100S (Study Skills).

Increasingly, students being admitted into programs within the College of Technology lack the academic literacy skills necessary to succeed in their certificate and degree programs. This is problematic as academic literacy, defined as the understanding of how to operate as a student in a higher education learning environment, is a prerequisite skill in every program. This change is being proposed to help underprepared students develop the academic awareness necessary for their successful entry into their degree programs and future employment.

Since the students involved in these courses already demonstrate a need for prerequisite courses, it is felt that establishing a concurrent requirement for enrollment in an academic literacy course will increase the likelihood that these students will be able to persist in their enrollments and enter into full degree enrollment in a reasonable timeframe and with an enhanced likelihood of persistence toward degree completion.

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 12of 95 Faculty Vote:

A faculty vote regarding this proposal was held on Thursday, September 12. All department faculty were present and voted in favor of the proposal. Faculty attending the meeting: Allen, Allen, Barclay, Clarke, Frandsen, Lambert, Taylor-Edwards, Wilson.

Impacts:  Other College(s) , department(s), facilities, funding, etc.: o Students enrolling in TGE 0100W are not currently allowed to enroll in degree or certificate programs. As a result, this change to the concurrent enrollment requirement of TGE 0100S will not affect enrollment or participation in other departments or Colleges. o TGE 0100S is already being offered to all students enrolling in TGE 0100W. However, since this course is not a required one, many students are opting to not enroll. It is our feeling that these students have already demonstrated a need for the content in the course, as evidenced by the scores they have received on entrance and assessment tests. This alteration to the course description would help to solidify the relationship between these courses in the minds of students, as well as helping them to acquire the needed skills to perform in their chosen degree programs in the future.

 ITS / ETS: These courses are already being offered on a regular basis. There would be no additional changes to instructional technology requirements to either course. “No Impact on ITS/ETS” Randy Gaines

 Library: The program does not anticipate any changes to requirements in Library services or holdings. Again, both courses are currently offered; the only alteration is the change to required concurrent enrollment. “The nature of the changes proposed would not have an effect on the Library” Sandra Shropshire

 Advising: The program expects that the concurrent enrollment requirement will result in better prepared students, who will perform better when enrolled in their degree or certification programs. “No advising concerns” JoAnn Hertz 10/14/13 “No CoT advising concerns with this proposal.” Corey Zink

3. Proposal 67. Cosmetology Program, Cosmetology Certificate change

Contingent upon approval by State Board

Contact: Jeri Spinner, Department Chair, x3073

Proposal Summary:

Change the credential earned in the Cosmetology program from a Technical Certificate to an Advanced Technical Certificate.

According to the Idaho State Board of Education Governing Policies and Procedures, Section III, E, 1, a, 5 and 6, a technical certificate is a credential awarded for the completion of requirements entailing at least 27 semester credit hours and less than one year of full-time work and includes mastery of specific competencies drawn from requirements of business/industry. An advanced technical certificate is a credential awarded for completion of technical and technical support requirements entailing more than one academic year, a minimum of 52 semester credit hours and mastery of specific competencies drawn from requirements of business/industry.

The current requirements for a cosmetology certificate include three full semesters plus one summer session. A total of 56 credit hours of technical course work are required. Therefore, the current curriculum qualifies students for an advanced technical certificate, rather than a technical certificate.

Consistent with Board Policy III.G.4.c., Non-substantive changes, credits, descriptions of individual courses, or other routine catalog changes do not require notification or approval. Institutions must provide prior notification of a name or title change for programs, degrees, departments, divisions, colleges, or centers via a letter to the Office of the State Board of Education. A letter from the Provost will be sent to the Idaho State Board of Education (see attached email from the Idaho Division of Professional Technical Education).

Faculty Vote: The department chair polled each faculty member (Bobbi Fitch, Rick Fuger, Sandy Jackson, and Leta Wilde) on September 3, 2013, and all were in favor of this proposal.

4. Proposal 70. Geomatics Technology, course changes

Contingent upon approval by State Board.

Contacts: Michael Wheelock / Dr. Rajendra Bajracharya

Proposal Summary:

The Geomatics Technology program would like to make the following changes to course descriptions in the Undergraduate Catalog and in the Banner system:

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 15of 95 1. GEMT 3317 – allow GEMT 3313 to be taken at the same time as GEMT 3317 (COREQ). Currently GEMT 3313 is listed as a PREREQ. This should change to “PRE-or-COREQ.” We would also like to implicitly list GEMT 2226 as a PREREQ. 2. GEMT 4411 – add GEMT 3311 as a PREREQ. Remove the words “Senior standing or.” Revised wording should read “PREREQ: GEMT 3311 or permission of instructor.” 3. GEMT 4413 – Change semesters offered to “D.” Rationale for changes:

1. GEMT 3317 – This change will allow students to take GEMT 3313 at the same time as GEMT 3317 instead of waiting to complete GEMT 3313. Dr. Bajracharya has pointed out that the material presented in the first half of GEMT 3313 is needed for the second half of GEMT 3317, so there is no reason that the two could not be taken concurrently. To implicitly state that GEMT 2226 is a PREREQ will avoid confusion for students wishing to take GEMT 3317 out of sequence.

2. GEMT 4411 – Dr. Bajracharya has found that students who have taken GEMT 4411 without first taking GEMT 3311 have not been successful. He points out that knowledge gained from GEMT 3311 will be needed for success in GEMT 4411.

3. GEMT 4413 – This course has not been offered each spring as the catalog states, but only as needed. This will help avoid small groups of students (too small to run course) getting upset that it is not offered when stated in the catalog. There are other courses that will fulfill graduation requirements in lieu of this course.

5. Proposal 84. College of Pharmacy, Nontraditional Doctor of Pharmacy Program, PDNT 9981

Contact: Vaughn Culbertson, PharmD; Director, Nontraditional Doctor of Pharmacy Program (208) 373-1883 The purpose of this proposal is to: Correct an error in the catalog for the Nontraditional Doctor of Pharmacy Program (NTPD) advanced practical experience course. (Note: the College of Pharmacy offers 2 Doctor of Pharmacy programs, a traditional program for on-campus students and a nontraditional, self-paced, off-campus program for pharmacists with a Bachelor’s degree in pharmacy.)

Proposal Summary: This proposal is a purely administrative change to correct the number of credit hours required for the NTPD Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience course. Both the traditional and nontraditional programs require completion of advanced pharmacy practice experiences. Until now, both programs have been using PHAR 9981 Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience to complete these requirements (courses with a PHAR prefix are required courses in the traditional Doctor of Pharmacy Program). An unintentional error occurred in fall of 2012 when the traditional Pharm. D program requested approval to combine PHAR 9981 (6 credits) and PHAR 9980 Case Studies in Pharmacy Practice (1 credit) into a single PHAR 9981 course for 7 credits, making the 6 credit course no longer available. The NTPD, because of its slightly different scope, requires the 6 credit course. To correct the problem we are proposing the addition of a separate experiential course for the NTPD program for 6 credits.

What is being changed:

Add course: PDNT 9981 Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience 6 credits to the Non-traditional PharmD program. (Note: PHAR 9981, 7 semester hours will continue for the traditional PharmD curriculum.)

How will this improve how the University and the Program fulfill their mission? This proposal will have no impact on University and Program missions other than to correct an inadvertent error in the University’s Undergraduate Catalog.

Faculty Vote: Yes, Approve ______; No Disapprove ______; Abstain ______As this is solely an unintentional administrative error, no faculty vote was initiated.

Impacts: It is the responsibility of the submitting college to send the proposal to the various infrastructure support services and other potentially affected departments who use the course in their curricula or would be impacted by the proposed changes for their assessment. Ambiguous characterization or omission of perceived

While most advanced practice experiences constitute established pharmacy specialties, the Pharmaceutical Care option offers the student the unique opportunity to implement an aspect of pharmaceutical care at their site of employment. Thus, both the employer and the student benefit directly from this educational experience.

6. Proposal 24. Biological Sciences: BIOL 4415/5515 4453/5553 new course (revised Oct. 10, 2013)

If approved, this affects Proposal 37 as well, which has already been corrected to match

Contact: Dr. James Groome, Dr. Curt Anderson, Department of Biological Sciences

Proposal Summary: We propose a new course to replace the existing Biol 4415 / (and "sister course" 5515, handled as a separate graduate course proposal) Human Neurobiology offering. The new course name is "Foundations in Neuroscience" to be taught from a broad neurosciences perspective. This change is needed since there is not a student population for which the course content of Biol 4415 is appropriate, and we wish to offer a course for the undergraduate and graduate students at ISU that are not already enrolled in a health professional program, thus promoting a greater participation in the neurosciences course offerings at ISU. Presently Biol 4415 / 5515 is taught concurrently with clinical neuroscience courses that target the graduate health professional programs, and this change will allow the introduction of a neuroscience course to the Biology curriculum that is appropriate for students who wish to pursue a variety of post graduate career opportunities. To avoid confusion with the separate laboratory course 4415L Human Neurobiology Lab, we also propose the course number 4453 for the Foundations in Neuroscience course offering, and to eliminate course listing of Biol 4415 as electives for Bachelors of Science (Biochemistry, Biology).

To further explain the rationale for this change: undergraduate students who plan on applying to the health professional programs for which clinical neuroscience is requisite will be given this added opportunity to engage in a neuroscience course without redundancy to their graduate studies, but which will be helpful. The existing neuroscience courses for those health professional programs will not be impacted. The course has been taught successfully as the experimental course Biol 4499 "Foundations in Neuroscience" in spring semester 2013 with students from Biological Sciences, Exercise Science, Mathematics, and Psychology majors, including graduate students. The details of course time, location and technical support have been successfully implemented, and this proposal request comprises a new course proposal that incorporates the change in course content, name, catalog description and credit to replace Biol 4415 / (and 5515 in the separate proposal). Biol 4453 is proposed to take the place of Biol 4415 and follow the implementation of the experimental course offering Biol 4499.

Faculty Vote: 27 Yes, 0 No, 0 Abstain.

Impacts: Other College(s) , department(s), facilities, funding, etc.: Expected, positive impact for several departments to expand the curriculum in neurosciences. Foundations in Neuroscience is targeted as an elective course in Biological Sciences and Exercise Science to replace Human Neurobiology as an elective course in these departments. It is a goal of this proposal that a more broadly based undergraduate course in neuroscience will be viewed as a more appropriate elective course in other departments as well, compared to the current course Human Neurobiology.

 Advising: “Hi Jim, No advising concerns.” JoAnn  Registrar: “I don't see any student information systems issues with this proposal. Regarding the title change for BIOL 4415, please be aware that changing the title of a course has impacts on repeat processing in Banner.

UCC question: “I only had one question. Is course BIOL 4415 and 4415L still going to be taught?” David Blakeman.

David,

 The short, mechanical version of this proposal is to drop BIOL 4415 and add BIOL 4453.  The lab is outside the purview of the request. Thus, BIOL 4415L, will continue to be taught with no change.

As the proposal indicates, the existing 4-credit lecture course (BIOL 4415) is being eliminated and a new 3-credit lecture course with a new course number (BIOL 4453), new content emphases, and a new course title is being created. The new course better meets the curricular needs of the program.

Groome says the lab is essentially a stand-alone entity so students can actually enroll in it as such. The current catalog lab enrollment for the 1-credit lab is by permission of instructor, so he knows in advance who is coming in. I can try to answer any lingering questions at the Council meeting.

COURSE CHANGES

Biol 4415 (Human Neurobiology) is being changed for course content, catalog description, name of course, and credit.

Current name of Biol 4415: Human Neurobiology Proposed course name of Biol 4453: Foundations in Neuroscience

Current catalog description: Cellular-to-organismal structure and function of the human central nervous system (CNS), and CNS pathologies. PREREQ: permission of instructor. S.

Proposed catalog description: Organizing principles in neuroscience including biological signaling of excitable cells, neuroanatomy and regional brain functions, and sensorimotor integration of behavior. PREREQ: permission of instructor. S.

Current credit hours: 4. Proposed credit hours: 3.

This course change will allow a greater participation of students interested in taking courses in a neuroscience field. At present 4415 is taught from a purely clinical perspective, and with a 4 credit hour load. Unfortunately, undergraduate students seeking permission to take 4415 are primarily those who are applying for admission to graduate programs in the health sciences, with the majority of these planning on pursuing graduate degrees in physical or occupational therapy, or exercise science. These students are required to take a graduate level clinical neuroscience course, at least at Idaho State University, redundant with much of the course material presently offered in 4415. We have developed an experimental course offering Biol 4499 "Foundations in Neuroscience" that we propose as the basis for Biol 4453 under the same name. This course will allow a more broadly based introduction to the neurosciences for

1. undergraduate students seeking careers in the health profession, and that is not redundant to but will enhance the existing graduate level course experience (PT/OT 5502) in clinical neuroscience taken in their first year of their graduate program.

2. undergraduate students in Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Mathematics or Psychology majors as an introduction to neuroscience with a focus on general organizing concepts based on a biological and functional perspective who plan on applying to basic science programs at the graduate level, for which neuroscience is an option.

3. undergraduate students with some background in the life sciences, mathematics and physical sciences (such that they are prepared for an introductory level course in neuroscience) but whose goal is to have a general understanding of the human brain, behavior, and learning, as they pursue careers in a non-science field.

The key changes to this course will be two-fold.

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 24of 95 First, by altering the content of the course to a more general introduction to neuroscience, the material presented will be appropriate for an upper division biology course for which suggested "pre-requisites for success" are applicable to a population of students not restricted to the subset of students currently engaged in the BS in Biology / Biomedical Concentration, but to other students in biology, and to students in other programs including Exercise Science, Psychology, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Students will retain the additional opportunity to take the more clinically directed Biol 4460 Neuroscience course if they so choose.

Second, by changing the credit hours from 4 to 3, the course will be more appropriate for undergraduate students wishing to have an introduction to the organizing concepts in neuroscience as pertaining to the animal kingdom, and to the human brain, as they pursue other career paths, in which such curriculum will not be available at the undergraduate level.

This course change will allow a much greater diversity of students to engage in the scholarly pursuit of knowledge in the area of neuroscience than is currently possible with the restrictions placed on students taking Human Neurobiology (Biol 4415) in its present form. By providing a more general, and more importantly a more broadly based introduction to a foundation of topical material, students who are not already enrolled in a health professional program will be able to explore the current knowledge and theories on brain function and the role of cells in the nervous system to control behavior.

Further, the mission of the University to provide cutting-edge instruction and education in the health professional fields will be enhanced by this change, since this will provide an additional neuroscience course to the undergraduate population that is not redundant with the present graduate level neuroscience curricula available. For the Department of Biological Sciences, this course change reflects the standing need to offer an undergraduate course in the neurosciences that is complementary to the curriculum taken by these students and that is most appropriately matched to the BS degree programs for Biochemistry, and Biology (concentration in biomedical sciences). In addition, this course will provide a graduate neuroscience course that is not specifically clinical and tailored to health professional degree programs.

 CURRICULUM CHANGES

Brief explanation of what is being changed with curriculum:

The course listings for Biol 4415 Human Neurobiology (and lab if noted) as electives in concentrations for Bachelors of Science in a) Biochemistry and b) Biology are to be changed by replacing with the course listing for Biol 4453 Foundations in Neuroscience.

New curriculum format in catalog:

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 25of 95 7. Revised and corrected Proposal 37. Biochemistry, BIOL/CHEM 4445, BIOL 4437/CHEM 4438 (revised Sept. 26, 2013) as amended on Oct. 3 and corrected below on Oct. 17, 2013

Highlighted corrections contingent upon approval of Proposal 24 BIOL 4453 Foundations in Neuroscience

Contact: Caryn Evilia (Chemistry, x4006), Peter Sheridan (Biological Sciences, x5368) and Todd Davis (Chemistry, x2668)

Note: This proposal removes program concentrations that did not go through SBOE approval in the first place; does SBOE need to be informed of their removal?

Proposal Summary: The purpose of this proposal is to:

Make substantive changes to 2 courses and the Biochemistry curriculum

What is being changed?

We are requesting 2 course catalog changes and a change to the undergraduate Biochemistry curriculum. Course changes: We request that BIOL 4445/CHEM 4445 prerequisites be changed from BIOL 1101 and CHEM 3301 (Organic Chemistry 1) to BIOL 1101 and CHEM 3302 (Organic Chemistry 2). We also request that BIOL 4437/ CHEM 4438 be changed from a fall only course to a Fall and Spring course, and the prerequisite for course be set to BIOL 4432 or BIOL/CHEM 4445.

Biochemistry Curriculum: We are requesting to change the Biochemistry undergraduate program of study from designated advising “Concentrations” to a more simple system of electives from the Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences departments.

Why is this change proposed?

Course changes: The prerequisite change for BIOL 4445/CHEM 4445 (Biochemistry1) is requested because students coming into the course with only CHEM 3301 (Organic Chemistry 1) were at a significant disadvantage over students with both Organic Chemistry 1 and 2 (CHEM 3302). Since a majority of the students (95%+) entering this course already have both CHEM 3301 and 3302, which are required courses as part of the Biochemistry major, this change should only affect 1 or 2 students per year. This does not change the number of credits for the Biochemistry major. There should little effect on the other majors that take this class. While this course is required for Biochemistry majors, it is an elective class for Chemistry and Microbiology majors. Even within these majors, it will not affect them as they require CHEM 3301 and 3302 as part of their degree program too.

The change in BIOL 4437/ CHEM 4438, Experimental Biochemistry laboratory, will bring the catalog in line with the demand for the biochemistry lab. This course was changed from a Fall course to a Fall and Spring course because the biochemistry major is growing. Due to equipment limitations, we have capped enrollment per section at 12 students and can, at most, offer 2 sections per semester. By offering it in Fall as well as Spring, we can offer enough sections to accommodate students who are unable to take it in the other semesters.

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 26of 95 We are also asking that the prerequisite for this class be set to BIOL 4432 or BIOL/CHEM 4445. By requiring that students have had 1 semester of any biochemistry course, they will be much better prepared for the lab. This increases student experiment time and minimizes lecture time. This change also does not change the number of credits in the major or change the ability of students (Biochemistry, Chemistry or Microbiology) to schedule the class, since we are offering it both Fall and Spring. Biochemistry students are required to take BIOL 4445 as part of their degree. Microbiology and Chemistry students have the option to take either BIOL/CHEM 4445 or BIOL 4432. Once they do so, some of them opt to take this lab course.

Biochemistry Curriculum We are requesting that the advising “Concentrations” in the biochemistry program be removed and replaced with a simpler system of electives due to student confusion and scheduling conflicts. This is an advising change, not a program change. The only degree we offer is a Biochemistry degree, with no designation. Because the “Concentrations” were an advising tool to help focus students into subdivisions of Biochemistry, this change does not require State Board approval for removal. We want to make this change because it has been difficult for students to stick to a designated track, take additional electives and graduate in a timely manner. This is a particular problem since most biochemistry majors do not declare their major until their second or third year. While the advising tracks were a good idea initially, they were difficult to implement. This change will also allow students, in conjunction with their individual advisor, to design a curriculum that will better achieve future goals. Since a large portion of Biochemistry majors are pre-health (Medicine, Veterinary, Physician Assistant, Pharmacy, etc.) this will direct students to courses that will fit their individual needs.

How will this improve how the University and the Department or Program fulfill their mission?

The Biochemistry program’s mission is to prepare our graduates for advanced work in biochemistry and biochemistry related fields, such as graduate school, professional schools (such as Medical, Dental or other health related professional schools) and biomedical or biotechnology jobs. By rearranging our program to remove the (advising) Concentrations and go to an elective system, it will make the program more flexible for our majors while leaving the rigor intact. It will allow our majors to customize their degree to a greater extent and still graduate in four years, which will make Biochemistry an even more attractive major to students. The Biochemistry major enhances the University’s mission to advance medical and healthcare education. By increasing the flexibility of the major, we can grow the biochemistry program and increase the quality of students entering graduate and professional programs. This will, in turn, give ISU a better reputation and visibility in the community and academic communities.

Faculty Vote: Because this is an interdepartment major, we have taken votes in three departments:

Biological Science: 25 For, 0 Against, 1 Abstain

Chemistry: 7 For, 0 Against, 0 Abstain

Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences: 7 For, 0 Against, 1 Abstain

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 27of 95  Since we are only asking for changes that are already in effect (students are advised accordingly) and a rearrangement and simplification of the Biochemistry curriculum, this request does not affect any other colleges, departments, facilities, funding or majors. A search of the academic catalog revealed no other courses or departments that would be affected by the course changes.

ITS / ETS: “No concerns from ITS.” R. Gaines, 9/14/13

Registrar: Comments from Chris Hunt, 9/25/13: "This proposal removes the current three concentrations that are currently listed in the catalog. I am unsure if this removal requires State Board of Education notification or approval. I have raised this issue with the Provost's office and hope to receive direction and clarification."

C. Evilia's response to Chris Hunt, 9/25/13: "The "concentrations" in the Biochemistry curriculum were for advising purposes only. The only degree Biochemistry majors get is a Biochemistry BS (no official concentrations are listed on the degree). Because they were for advising and not official SBOE approved concentrations, we don't need their approval to remove them."

Library: “Where this proposal pertains either to changes in curriculum or to perquisites for existing courses, I do not anticipate there being an effect on the Library.” Sandi Shropshire 9/16/13

Advising: “JoAnn Hertz is away and so Jacqueline Baergen and I reviewed your curriculum proposal on her behalf. It looks good to us.” Susanne Forrest, 9/20/13

 REVIEWED BY SPECIFIC COLLEGE UCC REPRESENTATIVE – [X] yes [ ] no UCC rep. name ____Jeff Hill______

 Other affected units, if any:  Since we are only asking for changes that are already in effect (students are advised accordingly) and a rearrangement and simplification of the Biochemistry curriculum, this request does not affect any other units.

Catherine:

I spoke with Dr. Evila after talking with you on the phone a few minutes ago, prior to the UCC meeting this afternoon. I'm sending to Jeff Hill also so that you have copy of the discussion to help in that meeting.

Caryn Evilia is also sending you an email with the information on the Biochemistry proposal, in which elective courses include that which we are proposing changes for the neuroscience undergraduate course.

The first iteration of my proposal was to change BIOL 4415 Human Neurobiology (4 cr) to BIOL 4415 Foundations in Neuroscience (3 cr).

That change was put into the Biochemistry proposal with an elective as BIOL 4415 Foundations in Neuroscience and Lab (4 cr).

Now, in response to UCC request we have put in the proposal (neuro) as a new course BIOL 4463 Foundations in Neuroscience (3 cr).

So there are two entities here to consider, to make sure that changes are not implemented if both proposals are accepted, that might result in the catalog being incorrect.

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 28of 95 First, as discussed with Jeff Hill yesterday, the lab (BIOL 4415L Human Neurobiology lab, 1 credit) was a separate course from BIOL 4415 (Human Neurobiology), not a co-req. This lab course is to remain, and the number change in our proposal for the new course BIOL 4453 (Foundations in Neuroscience) is to decrease any confusion about the (lack of) co-requisite lab with the lecture course.

Now, since the Biochem proposal has listed BIOL 4415 (Foundations in Neuroscience and lab, 4cr), this needs to be changed as:

BIOL 4453 (Foundations in Neuroscience 3 cr) BIOL 4415 L (Human Neurobiology lab, 1 cr).

Dr Evila will confirm to you (Catherine) that they wish this change, and that both courses (not linked by co- requiste) are to be listed as electives in their proposal, and this will make the changes to catalog consistent.

On my end, I confirm that these courses can be taken independently without co-requisite by students in the Biochemistry program for that concentration, and that as listed they are permission of instructor.

We are doing this now to avoid putting into place a conflict in the catalog if both proposals are implemented. Thanks so much for your work on this.

Jim Groome The changes made in Proposal 24 to replace BIOL 4415 Human Neurobiology with BIOL 4453 Foundations in Neuroscience were incorporated into this revised and corrected proposal (see highlighting below). Note that BIOL 4415L will continue to be taught, with no changes to it.

We are requesting that BIOL 4445/CHEM 4445 prerequisites be changed from BIOL 1101 and CHEM 3301 (Organic Chemistry 1) to BIOL 1101 and CHEM 3302 (Organic Chemistry 2).

Reason for change The prerequisite change for BIOL 4445/CHEM 4445 (Biochemistry1) is requested because students coming into the course with only CHEM 3301 (Organic Chemistry 1) were at a significant disadvantage over students with both Organic Chemistry 1 and 2 (CHEM 3302).

Reason for change The change in BIOL 4437/ CHEM 4438, Experimental Biochemistry laboratory, will bring the catalog in line with the demand for the biochemistry lab. This course should change from a Fall course to a Fall and Spring course because the biochemistry program is growing in number of majors. Due to equipment limitations, we have capped enrollment per section at 12 students and can, at most, offer 2 sections per semester. By offering it in Fall as well as Spring, we can accommodate all students who wish to take the class.

We are also asking that the prerequisite for this class be set to BIOL 4432 or BIOL/CHEM 4445. By requiring that students have had 1 semester of any biochemistry course, they will be much better prepared for the lab. This also increases student experiment time and minimizes lecture time. These changes are not driven by accreditation standards.

 CURRICULUM CHANGES

Brief explanation of what is being changed with curriculum: We are requesting that the “Concentrations” in the biochemistry program be removed and replaced with a simpler system of core plus electives due to student confusion and scheduling conflicts. It has been difficult for students to stick to a designated concentration and get additional electives, so they should graduate in a timely manner. While the concentrations were a good idea initially, they were difficult to implement. This change will also allow students, in conjunction with their individual advisor, to design a course schedule that will better achieve future goals. Since a large portion of Biochemistry majors are pre-health (Medicine, Veterinary, Physician Assistant, Pharmacy , etc.) this will direct students to courses that will fit their individual needs.

New curriculum format in catalog: Core Requirements* Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree must satisfy all of the General Education Objectives (a minimum of 24 credits, objectives 3 and 5 are satisfied in the core). Students must also satisfy the core requirements listed below and at least 20 credits of elective courses in Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences. In order to make timely progress toward the degree, it is imperative that the student work closely with a major advisor. All graduates of this program will earn a B.S. in Biochemistry.

8. Proposal 45. Revised and corrected Communication, Media, and Persuasion, new CMP program

(revised Sept. 26, 2013, and again on Oct. 4, 2013 and Oct. 10, 2013)

Contingent upon SBOE approval. SBOE prefers the prefix for COMM 1101 not be changed, at least for now, because it is a Common Core course.

Contacts: John Gribas, 208-282-2695, [email protected] or Jim DiSanza, 208-282-3695, [email protected]

Proposal Summary: The faculty lines and programs that make up the Department of Communication & Rhetorical Studies (COMM) have been moved into the newly renamed (SBOE approved) James E. Rogers October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 32of 95 Department of Communication, Media, and Persuasion (CMP), formerly known as the James E. Rogers Department of Mass Communication (MC). This shift has been made to take advantage of various instructional cross-overs and synergies and requires curricular changes necessitating ISU Curriculum Council approval. Ultimately, this departmental integration will oblige changes that will require Curriculum Council approval as well as approval from the State Board of Education (e.g., emphasis elimination, integration of a BA degree and a BA/BS option degree into a single BA degree program), though those changes will be requested in other proposals.

An earlier proposal dealing with these changes was reviewed by the ISU Curriculum Council. That earlier proposal submitted these changes as part of a move to establish a School of Communication, Media, and Persuasion. The Curriculum Council approved that proposal, pending approval of a separate but related SBOE proposal, but later a decision was made to forego the SBOE request for the creation of a new school-level unit. Instead, the plan is for these merged units to remain, as they are now, a single department within the College of Arts & Letters. This proposal is, therefore, a necessary follow up to a previously approved ISU Curriculum Council submission.

This proposal, which does not require SBOE action, focuses only on improving the curriculum of four current CMP major emphases (Organizational Communication, Rhetorical Studies, Visual Communication, and Journalism), three current CMP minors (Organizational Communication, Rhetorical Studies, and Mass Communication), and one minor that is administratively housed in CMP (Leadership). The remaining four major emphases in CMP (Advertising, Media Studies, Public Relations, and Television) will continue to be listed pending SBOE approval of their elimination, though the content of these to-be-eliminated emphases is subsumed into the other newly designed emphases. Therefore, though listed, Advertising, Media Studies, Public Relations, and Television will be identified only as emphases targeted for elimination. Students who are currently working in these programs targeted for elimination will be serviced through the new curricular offerings and, when needed, through approved substitutions.

The curricular changes will be beneficial in numerous ways. One of those ways relates to creating greater curricular efficiencies.

 The new curriculum will result in some streamlining and reduce curricular glut. By taking advantage of the offerings and expertise of faculty with origins in both original departments (COMM and MC), this proposal will allow us to develop four highly integrated emphases, leaving the remaining four emphases redundant (and thus targeted for elimination). This also will allow us to offer more courses across emphasis areas and, therefore, drop some courses from the curriculum because they are no longer needed. To take just two examples, COMM 4441 Interpersonal Communication and COMM 4408 Communication Theory have been dropped because they no longer fit the planned Leadership Track in the newly designed Organizational Communication emphasis. COMM 2254 Organizational Communication has been dropped because material in this course will be covered by an existing course, CMP 3320 Foundations of Leadership.

 The content of some courses have been combined to provide for a more efficient use of resources. Taking the most prominent example, MC 2260 Photo and Graphic Workshop and MC 3306 Non-linear Editing are combined into a new course, CMP 2232 Photo Graphic and Video Editing.

 Although several new courses have been added and applied across the four emphases and minors, the overall effect of the new curriculum is to slim down offerings, improve the depth and breadth of the education students receive, and do so while more efficiently utilizing available resources.

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 33of 95 The merger of the Communication & Rhetorical Studies Department and the Department of Mass Communication is part of Dean Kandi Turley-Ames’ Areas of Excellence initiative, to identify and enhance areas within the college that can yield strong returns, resource efficiency, instructional quality, and research productivity. This request clearly fits within ISU’s mission statement.

 ISU’s mission statement includes the following: “Achieve academic excellence in undergraduate, professional, and technical education.” This new curriculum will improve undergraduate education by improving program excellence and serving the needs of students as they adapt to changing career and citizenship needs.

 ISU’s mission statement also promotes “the efficient and effective use of resources.” The new curriculum reduces inefficiency by combining and eliminating classes, cutting overlapping emphases/majors, and better utilizing current and future faculty resource.

 ISU’s mission statement also promotes increasing the “University’s research profile.” This curriculum reduces the number of annual faculty course preparations (especially for faculty associated with the former Department of Mass Communication), clearing more time for research and creative activity.

Faculty Vote: The curriculum was agreed to by consensus of the faculty at a meeting on April 13, 2012. Associate Dean Randy Earles of the College of Arts & Letters also attended this meeting.

Impacts:

 Other College(s), department(s), facilities, funding, etc.: Obviously, the new curriculum requires some changes in what the Communication, Media, and Persuasion faculty teaches. Several courses have been dropped and several new courses have been added. As the vote above suggests, the faculty are entirely committed to making these changes.

Currently, the CMP department offers several sections each semester of COMM 1101 and COMM 2201 (which will become CMP 1101 and CMP 2201) in Idaho Falls. This proposal will not have any effect on the number of sections taught in Idaho Falls. Thus, there will be no changes to room scheduling, technology services, or library resources needed. In addition, CMP offers sections of a number of courses online. Because of student demand, the number of these courses is increasing, but this proposal is not anticipated to affect the rate of growth of online offerings.

Since COMM 1101 is a General Education requirement, it is referenced in many programs across the University; however, the only impact from this proposal related to this course will be the changing of the course prefix (from COMM to CMP). There are units that have other CMP course offerings integrated into their programs through electives, cross-listings, etc. (e.g., Education, Marketing, English/Technical Writing option, American Studies, Economics/Law and Economics option, International Studies, Women Studies Minor, Physical Education/Outdoor Education and Sports Management options, Earth and Environmental Systems/Environmental Policy and Management option.

As noted above, an earlier version of this proposal was submitted one year ago and was approved by the Curriculum Council, though it was ultimately determined void because a related proposal was pulled from consideration by the SBOE. This current proposal results in the same changes to other programs as the earlier proposal did and, for that earlier proposal, all impacted units were contacted and provided notice and approval of these CMP curricular changes. In particular, implications of these changes to College of Education teacher preparation programs were thoroughly discussed and settled in a meeting between John Gribas, David Mercaldo, and Paula Mandeville.

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 34of 95 In the vast majority of cases, the only changes that impact other academic units are simple changes in catalog listings related to new course prefixes and/or names. Written acknowledgement and support was not solicited from units facing change-in-name-only impacts. Any other more significant impacts (deletion or substitution of required or elective courses, etc.) were discussed and resolved with impacted units as part of the proposal submitted and approved by Curriculum Council last year. Even so, these units were re-contacted for this current proposal, and written acknowledgment and support solicited.

 ITS / ETS: These curriculum changes this will cause no particular changes in ITS/ETS support needs; the courses exist and already are supported. However, we have made the following considerations: o There may be additional online sections of some courses offered as access options, but no additional distance learning resources will be required. o Currently, the curriculum does require instructional support from a variety of computer lab technologies (digital photo, web and graphic design, video editing, etc.), and the program currently has and uses a number of dedicated labs which have necessary software. These labs are paid for and supported by the department. The merger will result in larger numbers of students needing computer lab access, necessitating additional lab space for instruction. Plans have been made and work is underway to retrofit a newly upgraded classroom in Frazier Hall and turn it into a 28 station graphics, web, and video editing lab. Software consistent with the current department dedicated labs will be installed in the new lab. Construction of and future maintenance for this new lab is fully funded with currently available monies. o All necessary classroom tools and technological tools are currently available. The merger will not create any additional classroom support needs. o All necessary ITS hardware needs are currently met with existing resources. The merger will not create any additional ITS hardware needs. o The CMP department retains its own computer technician who serves the program, overseeing such issues as server development and management, hardware and software installation and maintenance, etc. This computer tech position will remain a supported part of the program and will continue to serve these technology support needs.

 Library: Textbook purchases in some areas, such as interpersonal communication and communication theory, may diminish. As noted above, courses in these areas are being dropped in favor of new more integrated and program relevant courses. There are no anticipated changes in how students will be using library resources. The library was contacted for this current proposal, and written acknowledgment and support solicited.

“Below is an email from the Library that I just received related to our current CMP curriculum proposal. I am submitting this as written acknowledgement and support of our proposed changes from this impacted unit. Please add this to our proposal materials.” John Gribas, email Sept. 23, 2013

“Hello John: I have reviewed the attached proposal and would expect there to be no effect on the Library from the changes described therein. I would note that the comment about textbooks purchases currently in the proposal is irrelevant, as the Library does not purchase textbooks for its collection. Sincerely,” Sandi Shrosphire (email dated Sept. 23, 2013)

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 35of 95  Advising: No impacts for advising are anticipated. If there is any impact, the more integrated and simplified program structure (moving from eight to four emphasis areas) should make student advising smoother and easier overall. Central Academic Advising was contacted for this current proposal, and written acknowledgment and support solicited.

JoAnn Hertz also recommended some credit number clarifications to our CMP curriculum proposal. These would be changes in the “New curriculum format in catalog” section. In particular, they are changes to the three lists of “Track Electives” within the Emphasis in Organizational Communication which begins on page 18 of the proposal:  For the Leadership Track, please change to the following: “Track Electives: Complete 15 credits from the following list of electives”  For the Public Relations Track, please change to the following: “Track Electives: Complete 9 credits from the following list of electives”  For the Advertising Track, please change to the following: “Track Electives: Complete 6 credits from the following list of electives” Thank you. John Gribas, email Sept. 24, 2013

[NOTE: These requested changes have been incorporated below in the “New curriculum format in catalog” section.]

"No advising concerns. JoAnn Hertz" (email Sept. 24, 2013)

 Registrar: Once proposed changes are made and reflected in Banner, DegreeWorks, etc., there will be no more demand on Registrar services than there is currently.

Correction emailed by John Gribas Oct. 21, 2013:

“… I found one more error. It is not a change, but there is a course listed twice in one emphasis program.

In the Corporate Communication emphasis, in the Public Relations Track (Required Track Courses), CMP 2231 Introduction to Graphic Design should not be listed since it is already listed in the Core Courses for all Corporate Communication tracks above. So please delete the reference to CMP 2231 in the Public Relations Track (Required Track Courses) list. Then you would need to change the number of Required Track Courses credits for this track from 18 to 15, and finally for the Track Electives in the Public Relations Track, it should read “Track Electives: Complete 12 credits from the following list of electives” (rather than 9 credits as it now states) to be correct.”

“In the Minor in Mass Communication program listing, CMP 3330 should be changed to CMP 3339.”

Margaret,

You may know that the Curriculum Council has recently approved the latest version of the proposal for curricular change that is needed for COMM and MC to move forward as the Department of Communication, Media, and Persuasion. So all that is left, I believe, for everything to be in place is formal approval/acknowledgement from the State Board for shifting all the faculty lines and programs from COMM to MC (actually from Communication and Rhetorical Studies to Communication, Media, and Persuasion since the SBOE already approved the change in name for Mass Comm).

You may have already taken the needed steps for this process. My understanding is that this just requires a “non-substantive change request” letter from you to the SBOE. If you have already submitted that, I thank you. If so, could you let me know that it is in process and, if possible, let me know when you estimate to hear back officially. If that request has not yet been sent, I am hoping (actually begging) you to draft and submit such a letter. This is a process I have been managing for well over two years now. We have been in a difficult state of transition for too long, and we simply cannot afford to miss another year’s opportunity to finalize this and get it reflected in the upcoming catalog. If there is anything I can or need to do to make this happen, just let me know.

John

John,

Thanks for checking in on this process. The letter is in process and we expect we'll have the SBOE response before the catalog deadline in January. I would expect we'll hear by December, possibly even sooner. I know how important this is to the College, and I want to see this process finish out smoothly.

Email Exchange with Art Department Oct 11 and Oct 14, 2013:

From John Gribas Oct. 14, 2013

Please see the exchange below with Tony Martin. In this, he and his department acknowledge and support the changes in our curriculum that impact them. However, he has suggested that the best option would be to also change the cross-listed/equivalent course to the same number as what we are planning. So I suggest amending the language in our proposal to the following:

ART 4418 Art of the Book is an equivalent of CMP 4435. Due to changes in course number, description, prerequisites, etc. for CMP 4435, the listing for ART 4418 should be changed to read as follows: ART 4435 Narrative and Print 3 credits. Exploration and reconsideration of conventional concepts of what makes a book, both in terms of narrative structure and physical form. Focus on examination of familiar forms in new ways to help students learn to approach all multi-page projects from fresh and new angles. Equivalent to CMP 4435. PREREQ: CMP 2231 or permission of instructor. S

If changing the course number for the ART version of the class is not possible without Art submitting a CC proposal, then I would suggest just sticking with my original proposal language, noting that Art supports the change and impact, and then we could notify Art and let them propose the number change themselves.

Thanks.

John

This change has been made in the proposal below, as requested here.

Tony, October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 38of 95

John Gribas here. Our department is merging/has merged with Mass Communication. That has resulted in a major overhaul of the curriculum. One change affects the Art department because of a course equivalent listing, and we need your okay on this for Curriculum Council to proceed.

You probably know that Paula Jull for years has taught MC 4418: Art of the Book, and that has also been listed in Art as ART 4418: Art of the Book as an equivalent with the same course description, etc. That class will change to meet our new curricular needs. It will become CMP 4435: Narrative and Print. So the title and prefix will change, but so will the course description to some degree.

We have reasons to change the course number, but there would be no need for Art to do likewise. However, to keep the Art listing an equivalent and to avoid confusion for students who might sign up, the Art listing will need to reflect the new name and course description. So here is what we are proposing to Curriculum Council:

ART 4418 Art of the Book is an equivalent of CMP 4435. Due to changes in course description, prerequisites, etc. for CMP 4435, the listing for ART 4418 should be changed to read as follows: ART 4418 Narrative and Print 3 credits. Exploration and reconsideration of conventional concepts of what makes a book, both in terms of narrative structure and physical form. Focus on examination of familiar forms in new ways to help students learn to approach all multi-page projects from fresh and new angles. Equivalent to CMP 4435. PREREQ: CMP 2231 or permission of instructor. S

Initial Curriculum Council feedback suggested that we need the okay from you on this, but also suggested that this change might require a CC change proposal on your part. I don’t think that should be necessary since, based on my understanding, that course is not actually an ART course. It is only ever taught by Paula Jull, never by an Art faculty member. It was simply listed with an ART prefix to allow Art students the opportunity to take it and have the prefix reflect their department. Given that, I just don’t understand why the Art department would have CC proposal responsibility for this. At the same time, if Art decides to leave the listing as it has been in terms of title and description, the difficulty will be that the description of the class will not be what Paula actually does.

So please consider our proposal, and email me if you agree to the plan to change title and description for ART 4418. And hopefully CC will see fit not to require a proposal from Art for the change.

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 39of 95 Sorry to bother you, but we have been working on this merger and curricular change for over two years, and we really need to move on this now.

Thanks.

John-

Thank you for your e-mail regarding the changes noted. I will send my faculty a copy of your e-mail to see how everyone feels and get back to you asap.

Tony Martin (email Oct 11, 2013)

Hello John-

My faculty are ok with the change although we should change our course # to match yours.

Best,

Tony Martin (email Oct. 14, 2013)

Other units’ impact responses:

“Below is the email from Marketing associated with our last round with the CMP curriculum proposal. The changes in the recent proposal are the same as they were last year, and so I am submitting this as written acknowledgement and support of our proposed changes from this impacted unit. Please add this to our proposal materials.” John Gribas, email Sept. 23, 2013

“My response would be that there's no issue at all with the proposal or with dropping the marketing cross- listed equivalents of the MC courses being dropped, i.e. MKTG3355 and MKTG4495. As John noted, there's plenty of alternative electives and we would never be teaching these ourselves; we had them cross-listed so that our students could take advantage of courses already being offered through mass comm.” Sandra Speck (in email dated Oct. 8, 2012)

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 40of 95 “Below is the email from English associated with our last round with the CMP curriculum proposal. The changes in the recent proposal are the same as they were last year, and so I am submitting this as written acknowledgement and support of our proposed changes from this impacted unit. Please add this to our proposal materials.” John Gribas, email Sept. 23, 2013

“John, I have reviewed your curriculum proposal and generally can say that it has no negative effects upon our Professional Writing option within the English major. We have a revision of the Professional Writing option also before the Curriculum Council this semester. In it, we had already dropped MC3341, MC/MKTG3355, and MC4445. Our major is, then, only affected by the deletion of MC3325, Editing for Print Media, and MC3327, Magazine Article Writing. Because there are many courses for our majors to choose among in the block of electives available within the "writing, communications, and media" block of the Professional Writing option, dropping these two courses will not have much affect on our students. I assume that Ruth Moorhead will make the appropriate changes in course prefixes and numbers in our curriculum if your proposal is accepted. I will have our curricular committee look at the possibility of adding CMP4486 to the Professional Writing major. Sincerely, Jennifer Attebery “ (in email dated October 12, 2012)

Questions from UCC 10/10/2013 for John Gribas:

 CMP 4457 lists 4455L as co-req – should that be 4457L?  This proposal is requesting the cross-listed ART 4418 course change its title and course description, but no response received from the Art Department Response from Art Department is included above under Impacts. They are fine with this change, and agree their course number and title be changed to match CMP 4457).

Reply from John Gribas 10/10/13:

Yes, it should be CMP 4457L as the corequisite. My bad. We saw that the SBOE wants COMM 1101 to remain with that prefix for now. That will be fine.

Total minor credits: 18 October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 65of 95 Other needed catalog changes: The following are specific ISU undergraduate catalog (referencing 2013-2014) changes that result from proposed changes to the curriculum in the James E. Rogers Department of Communication, Media, and Persuasion.

In the list of Subject Abbreviations in the catalog, references to and listings of the following subjects need to be struck: COMM, LEAD, MC. Instead, the following subject should be included:

CMP – James E. Rogers Department of Communication, Media, and Persuasion; College of Arts and Letters

In the Services for Students section of the catalog, the Leadership Development Program subsection should be eliminated. The proposed CMP curriculum will still include a Leadership minor; however, this new Leadership minor is no longer configured as an interdisciplinary program and is not the result of collaboration with Student Affairs (it has not been for a number of years). Instead, the newly designed Leadership Studies minor is directly associated with the proposed James E. Rogers Department of Communication, Media, and Persuasion and should be listed as such.

In the Objective 2, Spoken English section of the General Education program, reference to COMM 1101 should be removed and replaced by CMP 1101.

In the Objective 4, Humanities, Fine Arts and Foreign Language section of the General Education program, references to MC 2210 should be removed and replaced by CMP 2250.

In the Graduation from the University Honors Program section, all references to COMM 1101 should be removed and replaced by CMP 1101.

At the beginning of the College of Arts and Letters section, in the Pre-Law Advising subsection, identification of "Dr. Bruce Loebs, Communication and Rhetorical Studies" should be changed to "Dr. Bruce Loebs, Communication, Media, and Persuasion."

In the Art Courses listings section, the following changes should be made:

In the listing for ART 2210 History and Appreciation of Photography, MC 2210 should become CMP 2250.

X Make substantive changes to a course/s [COURSE CHANGES ]

Proposal Summary : SPAN 4460/5560, SPAN 4460L/5560L: SPAN 4460/5560. Interpretation and Translation I, II (3 credits) has an attached lab/ COREQ, SPAN 4460L/5560L Translation and Interpretation Laboratory, 1credit. We wish to eliminate the lab and change the credit value of SPAN 4460/5560, the class itself, to 4 total credits and delete the statement “instructor permission required”. Why is this change proposed? In the past we needed a language laboratory to complete lab activities. Students earned grades based upon completion of hours and quality of work completed in the lab. Text and materials technology are such that now students can complete these activities on their own home units. Also, lab courses require a lab fee, which is not now necessary for this course. This change reflects the change in delivery already in effect and is still indicative of the fact that the course still requires the same amount of work / hours. How will this improve how the University and the Department or Program fulfill their mission? This will streamline our statewide delivery of SPAN 4460/5560, Interpretation and Translation I, II. Currently, our practice has changed but the description has not. Students often think they cannot take the course because they are not on a campus near a language laboratory. 4460 is a requirement for the Spanish for the Health Professions major, an elective for the graduate certificate in Spanish for the Health Professions as well as an elective for the BA in Spanish and a requirement for the BA in Spanish for the Professions. It can be an elective for secondary EDUC majors.

Proposal Summary: Remove preq. statement from SPAN 2200. Why is this change proposed? It was an error. The students who need the courses most cannot register for them.

Proposal Summary: Change Laboratory Description Why is this change proposed? Statement needs to be accurate. How will this improve how the University and the Department or Program fulfill their mission: It just will.

Current Catalog Copy Language Laboratory The department maintains language laboratories on both the Pocatello and Idaho Falls campuses, which include tapes, CDs DVDs, record and film archives, computers and video equipment. Its facilities are available to all language students.

Desired Copy Language Laboratory and Testing Center The department maintains a language laboratory and Testing Center on the Pocatello campus, which includes tapes, CDs DVDs, records and film archives, computers and video equipment. Its facilities are available to all language students.

Proposal Summary: REMOVE Statement of laboratory practice requirement Why is this change proposed? No longer a requirement due to advances in technology and instructional materials How will this improve how the University and the Department or Program fulfill their mission: will provide students with accurate information Current Catalog Copy in all 1101-2202 courses, “Practice in the Language Laboratory is required.”

Desired Catalog Copy: delete it

Proposal Summary: Create a new course / Add New Course SPAN 4494/5594 Why is this change proposed? To resolve a BANNER issue. We offer these 8 week hybrid courses every 8 weeks. Currently we use the course name and number “SPAN 4495”. The problem is that even though these courses have different CRN numbers and titles—are different at the section level--, BANNER sees them as the same course and will not allow students to register for different sections treating different material in the same semester. So, we propose creating SPAN 4494 which would allow us to offer 4494 first 8 weeks and 4495 second 8 weeks. How will this improve how the University and the Department or Program fulfill their mission: These short, hybrid courses serve a large number of students. Facilitating student enrollment in the courses they need or want helps to promote timely completion of major and minor requirements.

Add New Course:  SubjectSPAN Number 4494/5594  Topics in Language and Culture for the Professions I  SPAN 4494 Topics in Language and Culture for the Professions I 1-3 credits. Enhance and supplement linguistic and cultural proficiency in a variety of professional contexts. May be repeated with different content for a maximum of 3 credits. Graded S/U, AU. D  Amenable to being audited? (student pays full fees and attends; no participation allowed; must attend full course to obtain AU “grade”) YES

UCC’s concerns: Just a couple of questions of clarification for me.

Page 2 Desired catalog copy for SPAN 4460, there is a statement “May be repeated 3 times with different content” . This is a 4 credit course, so can they get up to 12 credits? If so should it read 4 to 12 credits or is it for a total of 4 credits so it should read 1 to 4 credits?

Page 2 Span 2200, they did not mention removing the coreq but is does not appear in the desired catalog copy. Was this in error or their intent?

Page 2 Span 4470 should the desired catalog copy read 2 to 4 credits because it is mentioned in the course description.

Page 6 newly added class SPAN 4494 can you call this course the same name as 4495 or should one be I and the other II?

Here's the latest feedback from Helen Tarp via email concerning this SPAN proposal. "1. SPAN 2200: No pre or co-req -

2. SPAN 4460 [5560]: may be repeated for a total of 12 credits. There is a court interp/trans class,the two semesters of medical interpreting/trans, and the literature / theory trans option. All are different aspects of the discipline with similar different professional guidelines and practices but sometimes different theoretical orientations and always different content and research . This way we change the title so the Registrar knows what the content was/is but we don't have three different entries and it allows us to offer the particular content as needed. It also allows students who wish to pursue a MA or doctorate in Translation studies the ability to try all three modes before selecting a school or program. The change “may be repeated for a total of 12 credits” has been made above for this course.

3 SPAN 4470 is a two credit class on purpose " Readings in Spanish 2 Credits".

4 an excellent idea! Call 4494 "I" and 4495 "II" - that will make it clear - thank-you for the suggestion"

 Other affected units, if any: SPAN 5560 can be an elective for the MA in Interdisciplinary Studies, for the MA in EDUC Secondary EDUC; SPAN 4460 is an elective for Secondary EDUC majors/Foreign Language, a possible elective for the Minor in Latino Studies (ANTH). All other changes are internal issues dealing specifically with our majors and minors and student placement and registration within our programs.

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 81of 95 Helen, Here is the "impact" statement from the college of Education [from email dated Sept. 23, 2013]

I don't see any mention of a requirement of a separate lab in the state board rule language (below). So, I don't see any potential impact on our secondary Spanish Major and/or Minor.

World Language (6-12 or K-12) Twenty (20) semester credit hours to include a minimum of twelve (12) upper division credits in a specific world language taken within the last ten (10) years leading to a proficiency level as defined by a state-approved exam (for example, a passing grade on the Praxis or an Advanced level as defined by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL)). Course work must include two (2) or more of the following areas: Grammar, Conversation, Composition, Culture, and Literature; and course work in Foreign Language Methods. To obtain an endorsement in a specific foreign language (K- 12),applicants holding a Secondary Certificate must complete an elementary methods course.

10. Proposal 55. Chemistry, CHEM 3366 scheduling change Contact(s): Rene Rodriguez, Department Chair, x2613

Proposal Summary: The department wishes to change in the catalog the scheduling of CHEM 3366 with the title Synthetic Methods Laboratory. This course is now taught concurrently with Chem 3365, Synthetic Methods, in the Fall. The catalog still lists this course as taught in the Spring. This change will reduce confusion and enhance the ability of students to plan their programs of study. The catalog also currently lists CHEM 3365 as a prerequisite. This should be changed to a corequisite. Chem 3366 should be added as a corequisite to Chem 3365.

Please make sure your proposal summary covers the following information;

The purpose of this proposal is to:

__x_ Make a substantive change to a course(s) or a curriculum

____ Create a new prefix, course(s) or curriculum

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 82of 95 The prerequisite of Chem 3365 will be changed to a corequisite of Chem 3365 for Chem 3366. A corequisite of Chem 3366 will be added to Chem 3365.

Why is this change proposed?

This change will reduce confusion and enhance the ability of students to plan their programs of study because it will make the catalog consistent with actual practice.

How will this improve how the University and the Department or Program fulfill their mission?

This change will reduce confusion and enhance the ability of students to plan their programs of study.

Faculty Vote:

What was your faculty’s vote on this matter?

The faculty vote was unanimous in favor of the proposal at the department faculty meeting of 11 September 2013.

Impacts: It is the responsibility of the submitting college to send the proposal to the various infrastructure support services and other potentially affected departments who use the course in their curricula or would be impacted by the proposed changes for their assessment. Ambiguous characterization or omission of perceived impacts can significantly delay proposal evaluation, so proposals should document confirmations (specific approval wording) received from other units on campus prior to submission.

What, if any, adjustments will need to be made within the program, department, and/or college to accommodate this change?

No adjustments will be required because this change will make the catalog consistent with actual practice.

“I had a phone conversation today with Chem Chair about co-req versus pre-req questions raised in the last UCC meeting. He will speak to instructors for clarification.” Jeff Hill 10/11/13

Response from Chemistry Chair:

"After polling the Organic faculty, it was decided that the students should be able to take the lecture part by itself, and the lab can be taken concurrently or at a later time by itself. Thus I believe we want the lab to have a PRE-or-CORREQ CHEM 3365 for the lab CHEM 3366."

I think this is different from what they actually requested in the proposal itself (which is confusing and would not accomplish what they now say they would like). It makes more sense to me this way. Jeff

What other departments or programs use this course?

None, according to the catalog.

Course changes: For each course being changed, information on 19 Banner screens must be updated. Please follow the order of the list of course attributes provided on the course change form even if you choose not to include the actual form.

B. Add New Course:

For EVERY course not already in Banner, we need ALL this information, in this order:

1. Subject Number 2. 30-Character Title (we can't use punctuation; spaces count as characters; we are trying to show as much understandable meaning on a transcript as we can in the 30 spaces. We have ONLY 30 spaces!) 3. Full Title and Catalog Description, including credits, content, coreqs, equivalent courses, prereqs, restrictions, and semesters offered, in that order. 4. May the course be repeated for additional credits? How many total credits may be accumulated?

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 86of 95 5. Normal Grading Mode (S/U, Letter) 6. Amenable to being audited? (student pays full fees and attends; no participation allowed; must attend full course to obtain AU “grade”) 7. Coreq course(s) [simultaneous registration required] 8. Equivalent Courses, including old pre-Banner numbers 9. Prereq course(s) Grade required in Prereq(s) Can Prereq be taken concurrently? 10. Registration Restrictions

Any possible fee must be requested separately via Academic Affairs; it need not be reported here, as it will find its way into Banner by some other path.

Information about prerequisite and corequisites:

COREQ - If a course has a corequisite, the requisite course must be taken in the same semester, and a student must register for the corequisite course in the same registration transaction. PREREQ - If a course has a prerequisite, the requisite course must have been taken in a semester previous. PRE-or-COREQ – in this situation, the requisite course can either have taken in a previous semester, or in the same semester.

Semester Coding:

It is important to give students the most accurate information possible regarding which semesters courses will be offered. Please review the following choices for coding of this information in the catalog:

F - Fall Semester, every year S - Spring Semester, every year Se - Sequential; a series of courses is presented until all have been taught. Su - Summer Semester, every year EF, ES, ESu - Even-numbered years, Fall, Spring, or Summer Semester OF, OS, OSu - Odd-numbered years, Fall, Spring, or Summer Semester D - Students should contact the Department to ask when this course will be offered. R1 - Course is rotated every year, either Fall or Spring R2 - Course is rotated every two years, either Fall or Spring R3 - Course is rotated every three years, either Fall or Spring 1. What fee amount is associated with this course?

C. Change an Existing Course --provide Subject Code, Number, and title here:

Action(s):

___Drop this course ___Change Repeatability ___Change Grading ___Change Title ___Change Equivalent ___Change or Add Goal ___Change Credits __x_Change Prereq(s) Applicability statement ___Change Content __x_Change Coreq(s) __x_Change Semester

Note: We can no longer change a course number. You will need to drop the one you have and create a new course with a new number. We also cannot re-use old numbers. October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 87of 95 Describe the specific change that will be accomplished with this proposal:

The catalog listing of the semester coding will be changed from S (spring) to F (fall) for Chem 3366. The prerequisite of Chem 3365 will be changed to a corequisite of Chem 3365 for Chem 3366. A corequisite of Chem 3366 will be added to Chem 3365.

These changes should be reflected in the catalog descriptions as follows:

Old catalog descriptions:

CHEM 3365 Synthetic Methods: 2 semester hours.

Practical aspects of chemical synthesis: Preparation, purification, and spectral interpretation for organic and inorganic molecules. PREREQ: CHEM 2211, CHEM 3302, and CHEM 3304. F

CHEM 3366 Synthetic Methods Laboratory: 2 semester hours.

Advanced laboratory methods for preparation of organic and inorganic molecules: synthetic techniques, air-sensitive methods, purification techniques, and characterization methods. PREREQ: CHEM 3365. S

New catalog descriptions:

CHEM 3365 Synthetic Methods: 2 semester hours.

Practical aspects of chemical synthesis: Preparation, purification, and spectral interpretation for organic and inorganic molecules. PREREQ: CHEM 2211, CHEM 3302, and CHEM 3304. F

CHEM 3366 Synthetic Methods Laboratory: 2 semester hours.

Advanced laboratory methods for preparation of organic and inorganic molecules: synthetic techniques, air-sensitive methods, purification techniques, and characterization methods.

: CHEM 3365. 

(Changes delineated with < >)

Reason for change (if not described on the Cover Letter form): Be sure to include whether or not this is driven by accreditation standards.

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 88of 95 This change will reduce confusion and enhance the ability of students to plan their programs of study.

Curriculum changes: You will need to provide a brief explanation of what is being changed with your program curriculum (use some of the wording from your summary above).

You will need to show any changes required in any curriculum list(s), should the proposal be approved. Not all course changes (prereqs, for example) will require this to be done, because they don’t “show” in a curriculum list. Curriculum council members will compare your proposed new curriculum to what is listed in the catalog so please make sure everything is complete and correct.

Other considerations

Do you Need to Send a Copy to the College of Education?

 If your electronic search through the PDF catalog online reveals that your course change will appear anywhere in the College of Education's section of the catalog, contact the administrative assistant in the Deans' Office of the College of Education, who will direct you to the College of Education Undergraduate Curriculum Committee Chair. You will then contact the chair, say where your change is, and ask whether this needs approval. Whatever the answer, request that it be e-mailed to you and please include that message in the last response on the cover page of the proposal. Your submission will be incomplete without it, and may be delayed until that response appears. In general, if a proposal causes changes* in the curricula of any of the following teacher-preparation programs, it needs to be sent to the College of Education at the same time as it is sent to the Curriculum Council.   B.A. in Early Childhood Education   B.A./B.S. in Elementary Education   B.A./B.S. in Human Exceptionality   B.A./B.S. in Physical Education Emphasis in Physical Education Teaching   B.A./B.S. in Secondary Education (with any major)   Bachelor of Music Education  The College of Education has some degree or minor programs that are not focused on preparing educators, despite the words that might be used; if the proposal affects ONLY courses that are listed in any of THESE programs, the course-change locations list needs to be included on the cover page of the proposal, but the proposal need not be sent to the College of Education.   B.A./B.S. in General Family and Consumer Sciences   Minor in Consumer Economics   Minor in Child and Family Studies   B.A./B.S. in Physical Education Emphasis in Exercise Science   B.A./B.S. in Physical Education Emphasis in Outdoor Education   B.A./B.S. in Physical Education Emphasis in Sport Management  *We're referring especially to changes in course prefix, number, title, or credits here, but we also need to remember that changes in content and prereqs ALSO affect the students in these curricula.

Faculty Vote: Three faculty members in the Business Technology Program, Deb Larson, Marie Campbell, and Gene Warren, have discussed these changes at length during faculty meetings in the spring of 2013 and e-mailed their agreement to each other and the department chair during the summer of 2013. A fourth faculty member, Rick Paul was hired in August and also approves of these changes.

Impacts:  Other College(s) , department(s), facilities, funding, etc.: College of Ed – Brenda Jacobson____

 ITS / ETS: These courses are already set up for seated or online delivery. Classrooms are outfitted with sufficient computer hardware and software. No additional ITS resources are required.

No concerns from ITS – Randy Gaines

 Library: The changes to existing courses outlined in this proposal present no concerns to the Library. The new one credit course should not require the addition of new Library resources. Therefore, I am comfortable that the proposal will not have an effect on the Library. – Sandy Shropshire

 Advising: No Advising Concerns – JoAnn Hertz I do not see any CoT advising issues with this proposal. Corey Zink

 Registrar: Comments from Chris Hunt:

I have the following questions and comments regarding this proposal:

BT 0116

o Do you want to limit registration of this course to only College of Technology students? Most COT courses have this restriction.

Response from Business and Service Department: Yes, we would like to limit registration to the COT students.

o If the course is to be repeatable up to three times for credit, then this needs to be stated in the description of the course. Please also confirm that a student will be able to get credit for this course three times. Also please understand that any student retaking the course to replace an unsatisfactory grade will need to petition the replacement, as they will receive credit for it up to three times.

Response from Business and Service Department:Yes. We want it repeatable up to three times.

October 17, 2013 -- Minutes for 17th meeting of Undergraduate Curriculum Council for AY14-15 catalog Pag e 91of 95 o Is this course to be included in any of the BT curricula?

Response from Business and Service Department: No. It is an elective.

BT 0141 - If the course is to be repeatable up to three times for credit, then this needs to be stated in the description of the course. Please also confirm that a student will be able to get credit for this course three times. Also please understand that any student retaking the course to replace an unsatisfactory grade will need to petition the replacement, as they will receive credit for it up to three times.

Response from Business and Service Department: Yes. It is repeatable up to 3 credits.

BT 0145 and BT 0172 - changing the title has implications to students retaking the course to replace an unsatisfactory grade. If a student received an unsatisfactory grade when taking the course under the old title, and then retakes the course with the new title, the exclusion of the unsatisfactory grade will not happen automatically. The student will need to petition to exclude the grade under the old title.

Response from Business and Service Department: We are aware of this implication.

UCC question: Since a new course BT 0116 is requested as part of this proposal where will it fit into the Business Technology curriculum; is it an elective? On page 4 it is stated no curricular changes are proposed.

Also on page 3 #8: an equivalent course would be OT 0116. I cannot find any OT courses in the catalog. Not sure if it matters at this point.
