Section AIII: Changes in Degree Programs

AIII.1 The following is a Change in Degree Requirement

Department of Speech Language Pathology and Audiology/School of Health Professions

Name of the Program and Degree Award: MS in Speech Language Pathology HEGIS Code: 1220 (Speech Language Pathology with TSSLD) NY State Program Code Number: 02435 (Speech Language Pathology with TSSLD) MHC Code (Be sure to include the Macaulay Honors College HEGIS Code when applicable.): Effective Term: Spring 2021

A. HISTORY AND OBJECTIVES MS degree in Speech Language Pathology (SLP) The Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) (68 credits) curriculum prepares individuals to become speech-language pathologists working in hospitals, rehabilitative centers, college or university clinics, health-care agencies, specialized clinical settings, or private practice and prepares students for professional practices in preschools, elementary and secondary schools, and early-intervention developmental centers. Successful completion of the SLP curriculum prepares students to meet the academic and clinical requirements for ASHA certification, New York State licensure, and recommendation for NY State certification as a teacher of students with speech and language disabilities (TSSLD). Additional requirements for certification following graduation include the completion of a clinical fellowship year and the passage of PRAXIS examination in Speech Language Pathology. Effective Spring 2018, changes in course credit, course title and course description for COMSC 737 took place. Content from COMSC 738 (Communication in Developmental Disabilities) is included in COMSC 737. Therefore COMSC 738 is no longer a graduation requirement. The current change to the degree requirement for the M.S. in Speech Language Pathology is to delete COMSC 738 as a degree requirement.

B. Major Requirements: Completion of 68 credits of academic coursework (65 credits in COMSC, 3 credits in Education) Completion of 150 clinical hours working with school-aged children

Detailed Description of the Proposed Modification(s): We had to do some edits since some courses have changed their numbers and also, we would like to list all our electives that we have in the department so students are aware of more choices.

History and Objectives: This document reflects a proposed program change to update information about electives, CHEM 39000 that is now CHEM 36700, a change to CHEM 29100 and Chem 49100 to reflect the hours and pre-req and the creation of CHEM 29000. CHEM 39000 was created years ago but that is now CHEM 36700 to reflect the connection with the lecture component CHEM 366. CHEM 29100 and Chem 49100 were created years ago and we just wanted to reflect the hours and pre-req. CHEM 29000 was created many years ago under a CHEM 29101 course but over the years it has become an integral part of the major curriculum, so we would like to make it a standalone course and these changes will reflect that reality. We also added options of electives for students since more and more electives are now offered in the department.

AIII.6. The following is the revised curriculum for Africana & Puerto Rican/Latino Studies leading to the BA Degree.

DEPARTMENT OF AFRICANA & PUERTO RICAN/LATINO STUDIES Hunter College, CUNY

Proposed Changes in a Degree Program

Program Name and Degree Awarded: Department of Africana and Puerto Rican/Latino Studies (BA)

HEGIS Code: 2211

NY State Program Code: 02512

MHC Code HEGIS Code (when applicable): 60145 Note: Codes can be found in the State's Inventory of Registered Programs at http://www.nysed.gov/heds/irpsl1.html)

Effective term: Fall 2022

Program Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the major in Africana and Puerto Rican/Latino Studies, students will be able to: 1. Describe how the department’s interdisciplinary approach contributes to an understanding of “minoritized” communities, as well as the relationship between knowledge and social responsibility.

2. Identify the role of historical, cultural and social forces, including slavery, colonialism, immigration, globalization and other factors, in shaping Africa, the Americas, the African Diaspora, and Latinx communities. 3. Critically utilize and integrate theory, methods, data and analysis as a means of building knowledge through research, written assignments and community-based service learning. 4. Demonstrate skills in critical thinking, oral communication, information technology, and media literacy. 5. Advance human rights and racial and economic justice through an understanding of the role of public policy, social movements and indigenous resources in combating inequality.

Detailed Description of the Proposed Modification(s)

Revised AFPRL Major with Three Focus Areas and One General Major

We have designed a plan to substantially reshape our curriculum. Our primary goal is to provide students with the opportunity to specialize and to graduate with a focus in one of three areas:

1. Race, History and Culture 2. Social Justice, Public Policy and Human Rights 3. Latin American and Caribbean Studies

Students who prefer the general major may still graduate under the traditional requirements for the AFPRL major. In addition, students who elect to pursue the general major or either of the three focus areas, may graduate with Departmental Honors by completing a sponsored independent research project.

The revision provides more depth of training and focus in areas that we offer by building on faculty expertise in the three areas. The new plan will allow greater flexibility in meeting the requirements for the major while allowing for areas of concentration. The number of credits required for the major will not change, but students will have more flexibility in how they meet the requirements.

History and Objectives

The goal is to improve the quality of our majors’ preparation for graduate school and employment. This is significant because a majority of our majors and minors plan to attend a graduate program and those pursuing jobs after graduation will need advanced training to get professional jobs. Thus, the Department developed fields of study in the major: (1) Race, History and Culture; (2) Social Justice, Public Policy and Human Rights, (3) Latin American and Caribbean Studies; (4) Maintaining the general major. The revisions are designed to achieve a greater balance between breadth and depth of study in the major. For students who desire more specialized focus, this structure provides the opportunity to take courses within more specialized areas. Conversely, for students who prefer a broader and less specialized exposure, the traditional major will remain. We believe that all options provide a strong preparation for graduate study and the intellectual curiosity to pursue lifelong learning.

Effective term: Fall 2022

Program Learning Outcomes: Students majoring in Media Studies will be able to:

• Apply dominant media studies terminology • Develop listening and observational skills for the systematic study of media • Master a wide range of analytical concepts specific to media studies • Gain insight into the contextual relationship between media and culture through examination of the history, production, and aesthetics of the media. • Develop a portfolio of work specific to the concentration in Media Analysis and Criticism, Documentary and Television Production, Journalism, or Emerging Media

Detailed Description of the Proposed Modification(s) 1. The current Media Analysis and Criticism concentration is 36 credits and requires 9 Introductory Credits, 21 Required Analytical Credits, and 6 Elective Production or Analytical Credits. The 21 required analytical courses are distributed into three areas of focus: Media Representations (9 credits); Media Technologies, Industries and Policies (6 credits); and News, Politics and Propaganda (6 credits). We are proposing a change to this concentration so that there are only two areas of focus: Media Representations (9 credits) and Media Industries, Technologies and Politics (9 credits). Students will also take 9 credits of additional analytical MEDIA or FILM classes. 2. We are renumbering four 300-level media analytical classes to the 200- level to further differentiate between survey-type intermediate courses and 300-level advanced courses. The courses are MEDIA 27000: History of Radio, Television and Podcasting (currently 38000), MEDIA 28400: Women and Media (currently 38400), MEDIA 22700: Representations of Race in U.S. Media (currently 32700), MEDIA 21400: Public Relations – Theory and Practice (currently 31400). 3. There are two new course proposals: MEDP 35100: Strategic Communication and Marketing for the Arts and MEDP 39800: Advanced Topics in Media Production (see proposals for rationales). 4. There are several routine name and description changes (see proposals for rationales).

History and Objectives The Media Studies major combines analytical perspectives and practical production experience to provide students with a thorough understanding of media and of their creative potential as media-makers. The major is composed of required and elective courses in media analysis and production for a total of 36 credits. The analytical courses provide students with a broad base in critical thinking. They include the study of media representations, and media technologies, industries, and policies. The production curriculum offers students an in-depth understanding of applied aesthetics, creative concepts, and technical proficiency.

The Department offers a General Media Studies Major, or students may elect to major in an area of concentration. The concentrations are Media Analysis and Criticism, Documentary and Television Production, Journalism, and Emerging Media. Just as with the General Media Major, each concentration is 36 credits; however, the curriculum has been tailored to help the student develop greater specialization in the area of concentration .

• Course Description:

A. Brief description for the College Catalog. This course provides a hands-on preparatory overview in the practice of professional translation. Students in all language tracks will receive a skill- based induction into the language services industry as a multi-faceted occupation. The course will familiarize students with the nuts and bolts of language services – the use of key resources and tools, how to analyze the real-world contexts of projects, build and manage terminology databases, and determine criteria for self-assessment and continued development.

Students will produce weekly research, translation, and script-based interpreting products covering a range of genres and industry sectors (translation of 600 to 800-word source texts or original papers). The course will culminate in an individualized project combining a written pitch/proposal and an oral presentation (10 minutes, 12-15 slides).

b. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin; This workshop will provide an ideal forum in which students working in different languages can learn from one another as they explore the opportunities and challenges of work processes in their respective language specialization. As one of three Core Courses with a Language- Specific Component, this course addresses the nuts and bolts of professional translation, preparing students to function as freelancers as well as in-house language specialists in an array of client service sectors; while exploring established tools and resources, students will practice tackling simulated projects in their respective language pairing.

• Course Description:

A. Brief description for the College Catalog. The term localization describes the process of adapting software products as well as websites and services to international markets where languages other than English are used. This course explores the key concepts of globalization, internationalization, localization and translation and guides students to discern what is allowable, impactful, or simply necessary, both from a technical (linguistic), and a cultural (affective) perspective.

C. Writing Requirement: the number of papers and their approximate length, the extent to which library or electronic research is expected, or a statement of other writing requirements. Any absence of a formal writing requirement must be specified. Students will produce and reflect on weekly deliverables (2-hour localization tasks). As a final work product, students will write a research paper (800-1000 words) on a localization issue of their own choosing; they will make a final oral presentation with a supporting PPT file demonstrating a synthesis of the topics and thinking strategies covered in this course.

Rationale: (Do not remove questions) A. Nature of the proposed course: 1. If the proposed course is part of a new academic program, refer to the overall objectives of the program (i.e., on a cover sheet or Appendix) N/A 2. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rationale that includes: a. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e., student, departmental, community, job market needs) This course is proposed as an additional elective in the technology of translation and interpreting and building on the foundational knowledge of the core requirement of Computer-Assisted Translation. The course provides a thorough grounding in localization, complementing Translation Theory, which focuses on translation of longer-form written text and Computer-Assisted Theory on the application of machine translation technologies. The course provides the essential overview of the best practices, standards, and workflows of localization and outlines the scope of work of professional localizers around the world. The proposed course will be added to the existing curriculum strengthening the technological aspects of the translator/interpreter’s training under MATI. This course is an essential addition as it represents the baseline knowledge needed to prepare students to work in the field of localization. b. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin Given the plentiful work opportunities for translators in the field of localization, particularly in adapting digital content for audiences outside the source market, this course will provide an important supplement and the necessary technology support to the existing courses in the program. As stated in the program objectives of the proposed MA in Translation & Interpretation, the program seeks to prepare its graduates for work in the practical fields of translation, especially in various New York City departments, services, and offices, and this work must include localization as a central aspect of the day-to-day processing of digital content. Each graduate of the program must therefore be prepared not only to translate in both written and oral modalities between his/her A and B languages, but also to render content that is cultural (stylistically) appropriate to a given local audience. The proposed course prepares the students to become competent localizers. It enables students to draw on a solid theoretical and historical foundation in order to formulate effective approaches to localizing translation to meet the myriad needs of globalized economies. c.

● Course Description:

A. Brief description for the College Catalog. The course addresses the key principles, industry standards of assessment, and methodology and procedurals that guide interpreting training and practice. It provides the foundational knowledge that prepares students to formulate best practices and approaches to ethical, social, and cultural issues in professional interpreting.

B. Writing Requirement: the number of papers and their approximate length, the extent to which library or electronic research is expected, or a statement of other writing requirements. Any absence of a formal writing requirement must be specified. Students will be required to complete 6 short response papers (600 words each), a mid-term exam and a final project (1200-1500 words) – a comparative survey and/or evaluative assessment of interpreting practices in one or more service domains.

A. Nature of the proposed course: 1. If the proposed course is part of a new academic program, refer to the overall objectives of the program (i.e., on a cover sheet or Appendix) N/A

2. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rationale that includes: a. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e., student, departmental, community, job market needs) This course will be a third core requirement for the MA in Translation and Interpreting. The course represents foundational knowledge in oral/verbatim interpreting (and sight translation), complementing Translation Theory, which focuses on written text translation and Computer- Assisted Theory on machine translation technologies. This course provides the essential overview of the best practices, standards, and ethics of oral interpreting practice and outlines the scope of work of professional interpreters around the world. As an MA degree conferred on both translation and interpreting competences, it is imperative that both translation and interpreting studies are reflected in the core curriculum. Currently, the two existing core requirements address written text and computer translation while overlooking oral interpreting. The proposed Principles of Interpreting Practice will fill this gap. b. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin. The proposed course is an essential addition for the following reasons: 1. The course represents the baseline knowledge needed to prepare students for the “interpreting” ‘half’ of the degree credential that is currently not adequately addressed by the two existing core courses. This third core requirement provides an overview of the fundamental techniques, principles, and ethics of interpreting practice, and surveys the particular needs of the major domains of interpreting in North America, including general business, social services, healthcare, and legal affairs. c. The way in which the course relates to courses in other departments, divisional or interdisciplinary programs (if appropriate, possibilities for interdisciplinary use might be given). N/A d.

• Course Description:

A. Brief description for the College Catalog. The course introduces students to the commercial demands and the technologies and tools needed to cope with what’s loosely defined as translation of “new media,” i.e. non-traditional media that has become dominant in the digital environment, including video games, mobile apps, video clips, and so on. The objective is to prepare students to work multimodally (with visual, audio, and orthographic materials) in order to render translation of digitalized content.

D. Writing Requirement: the number of papers and their approximate length, the extent to which library or electronic research is expected, or a statement of other writing requirements. Any absence of a formal writing requirement must be specified. In addition to weekly exercises, discussion and reflections (500-600 words) students will independently localize one video game (nano-scaled) and one subtitled video footage (10-12 min) as the final project

Rationale: (Do not remove questions) B. Nature of the proposed course: 3. If the proposed course is part of a new academic program, refer to the overall objectives of the program (i.e., on a cover sheet or Appendix) N/A

4. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rationale that includes: a. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e., student, departmental, community, job market needs)

In keeping with the MATI program objectives to prepare its graduates for work in a wide range of practical and in-demand areas of interlingual communication, the proposed course provides a hands-on, vocationally-oriented introduction to a spectrum of real-world projects in digital-media translation. With the rapid development of machine translation, artificial intelligence and neural network translation, there is no question that translators now work predominantly in the digital mode, or more precisely, multi-modally in the ecosphere of digital content. For the emergent linguist charting a career in professional translation, this course provides the fundamental knowledge-skill induction into the all-pervasive world of “new media” translation of the 21st century.

“New media” in the form of video games, video clips, interactive ads, etc. now constitute the life-blood of the digital content driving explosive demand for the human touch, or what is called “transcreation” in the language services sector – as products compete to “reach” multilingual audiences around the world. Accordingly, this course lays the essential groundwork that is critical in the grooming of well-rounded tech-and-app savvy linguist as is the mission of the Hunter MATI. b. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin. The proposed course will be a third course in the MATI curriculum that represents the field’s technical slant, complementing Computer-Assisted Translation and Localization and Terminology Management. This course is an essential addition for the following reasons: 1) The course provides highly specific training in the sourcing, selection, and translation of web and digital content in two main areas: screen/video subtitling—including film, commercials, video games—and app localization (working with generic and interactive software, as well as mobile apps); and 2) students will be afforded the opportunity to engage with digital content by integrating interlingual and internet research skills with the latest in digital technology and the fundamental craft of literary translation. c.

8. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rationale that includes: a. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e., student, departmental, community, job market needs)

Complementing the current “applied” courses that focus on the translation of authentic source documents and verbal samples, the internship course uniquely provides the practicum component of the MATI curriculum allowing students to receive preliminary, onsite, and guided work experience within a language service provider organization or working with an agency representing a major service domain such as the NYS court system, a community hospital or a social service unit under the NYC Mayor’s Office. Through agreements with such participating employers, the course will provide for students to receive a structured immersive experience in an actual workplace at the same time as they “report back” to the classroom and develop critical and reflexive perspectives on the work processes and industry issues pertinent to the translation/interpreting field. b. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin.

The proposed course will be added to the group “All-language Courses in Translation, Localization, and Interpreting” and open to students in good academic standing who have completed 12 or more credits under the MATI curriculum. This course offers an opportunity for students to apply the skills and knowledge learned in the classroom in an authentic work setting and thus prepares students for careers in translation, localization, and/or interpreting in the real world. Specifically, the course requires a weekly 8-10hr worksite commitment in addition to formal classroom attendance/activity (typically 2 hours per week), under the supervision of a faculty-instructor. In this arrangement, students are called upon to draw on the experience of participating in actual work processes in order to delve analytically into industry-specific topics including translation technologies, localization, project management workflow, and testing/quality assurance tools and processes. c.

10. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rationale that includes: a. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e., student, departmental, community, job market needs)

This course will be an elective catering to students who choose to study in the MA in Translation & Interpreting (MATI) program with an Arabic- English focus. In order to prepare translators in professional translation specializing in Arabic and English, it is essential to provide students with an overview of the language-special components of translation, to make them cognizant of translation as a process and to equip them with the ability to critically assess the final product.

The course will prepare students for future translation work in various professional fields while reinforcing their knowledge of the A and B languages. Through practice of intra- and interlingual translation and the examination of the issues framing the field, students will become versed in translating different textual genres, factoring in target audience and culturally sensitive issues. b. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin

As stated in the program learning outcomes for the MA in Translation & Interpretation, the program prepares its graduates for work in practical fields of translation. The proposed course, aimed at strengthening students’ competence in Arabic>English translation, extends far beyond teaching them linguistic competence, focusing instead on arming them with the tools to independently and successfully translate texts in any given discipline, providing the highest quality of professional work grounded in research, familiarity with both languages, and up-to-date vocabulary. It offers students self-assessment tools to function with little supervision in the professional field and provides the fundamentals that will later be developed in subsequent translation courses in the program. c.

12. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rationale that includes: a. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e., student, departmental, community, job market needs) This language-specific Chinese-English course will be an advanced elective of the MATI curriculum catering to students who are oriented to specializing in oral (as opposed to written) language services. The course provides the essential industry knowledge while training students in the skills and attitude required in this high-pressure mode of verbatim interpreting. The course will also mobilize students’ initiative to conduct research, day-to-day documentation, and self-assessment, laying a foundation for interpreting as a lifelong practice. Simultaneous Interpreting will add to the rigor of the MATI degree, indeed, providing talented students with the opportunity to hone their skills in high-earning, prestigious positions as conference/simultaneous interpreters. b. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin. As stated in the program objectives for the proposed MA in Translation & Interpretation, the program seeks to prepare its graduates for work in practical fields of translation, especially in various New York City departments, services, and offices. Each graduate of the program must therefore be prepared to translate texts of various genres and in both written and oral modalities between his/her A and B languages in a wide variety of disciplines. The proposed course prepares the student to serve as effective oral/verbatim interpreters and to function as cultural mediators in a variety of high-level intercultural encounters including international conferences and events and diplomatic/global forums. The course provides the theoretical and technical foundation for students to formulate effective strategies in delivering verbatim interpreting and sight translation between Chinese and English. The proposed course will enrich the interpreting component of the MA degree program in translation & interpreting, specifically by: 1) providing advanced training in simultaneous (conference) interpreting as a much sought after high-paying skillset; and 2) extending and honing the skills and knowledge needed for students for success as career interpreters in general.

16. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rationale that includes: a. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e., student, departmental, community, job market needs) This course will be an additional elective under the Russian-English track of the MATI program. The course approaches literary translation both as a linguistic process and as a cultural and socio-political product. It poses questions and offers perspectives on the role of the translator in the translation process. The primary focus is placed on the choices the literary translator must make when interpreting, negotiating, and recapturing meaning. This course augments the skill set of the professional translator by exposing students to a more open-ended, interpretive orientation in interlingual processing between Russian and English. b. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin As stated in the program objectives for the MA in Translation & Interpreting, the program prepares its graduates for work in practical fields of translation. Each graduate of the program must therefore be prepared to translate texts in a variety of genres between his/her A and B languages. The proposed course enables students to gain expertise in an important field of translation. It offers students an opportunity to forge individualized approaches to translating literary texts from Russian into English. These skills complement the more technical and functionalist approaches provided in the general Russian-English and English-Russian translation courses. c.

• Course Description:

A. Brief description for the College Catalog. This course provides a comprehensive training program to prepare students to serve as interpreters in the day-to-day encounter of critical point-of-care delivery—from ambulatory and emergency bedside attendance to ICU staff support, hospice care, and patient-family mediation. Students receive a thorough grounding in medical terminology, the healthcare interpreter’s code of ethics, and the rights and responsibilities pertaining to patient-provider relations. As part of the course work, students will receive training in simulated interpreting exams modelled after the Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters (CCHI) and the National Board Certificate in Medical Interpreting and CMI and build a personal portfolio comprising a glossary of medical terms, a medical interpreter journal, and audio work samples.

Students will produce weekly reflections (500-600 words) reflecting discussion on the foundational knowledge and terminology in medical interpreting as well as a comparative survey of the scope of work of professional medical interpreters around the world. As a final work product, students will submit a recorded sample of their own interpreting and a written self-evaluation (800-100 words) drawing on principles of best practice, standards, and ethics of medical interpreting practice

• Course Description: E. A brief description for the College Catalog. This practical hands-on course will introduce you to some of the main programming concepts and techniques relevant to computational methods of Spatial Data Science. The Course starts with the basics of algorithms, and work through examples of reading and writing pseudocode for some general, mathematical, and spatial operations. We will then dive into the nuts and bolts of Python as a first language and learn how to translate some basic operations into running code, in the context of representing and processing geospatial data. The class will also review some of the most commonly-used open- and closed-source Python libraries for spatial programming.

There will be a requirement for a project proposal and final project report

• Rationale: (Do not remove questions) E. Nature of the proposed course: 5. If the proposed course is part of a new academic program, refer to the overall objectives of the program (i.e., on a cover sheet or Appendix). a. The Spatial Data Science I course will be a foundational part of the Undergraduate SDS Certificate and will equip students majoring in various disciplines with the knowledge and skills for analysis of digital spatial information. They will learn the foundations of geospatial technologies from the fundamentals of geo-referencing to the spatial analytic models used to find solutions to the world’s most pressing problems. The Undergraduate SDS Certificate will provide Hunter College students with a unique skillset that will increase their competitive advantage in the job market. It will also provide a new spatial analytical approach to their core discipline.

6. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rationale that includes: m. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e., student, departmental, community, job market needs);

Spatial Data Science is relying more and more on the Python language as the primary computational platform with its rich spatial libraries. This course enables students to become proficient at creating spatial analysis models using the Python language.

The course will enable students in the BA degree programs in Geography and Environmental Science to use the programing and modeling skills learned in this course to enhance their knowledge and make actionable many of the concepts they learn in Department’s geospatial technology courses.

Students in other degree programs will be interested in this course because it offers a way to acquire a unique skill set that focuses on spatial data. These new skills and tool can be used in their existing domain to enhance their uniqueness and make them more competitive in the job market.

n. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin;

Many of the course in the GTECH series use commercial or open source software to conduct spatial analysis. This course enables students to enhance those platforms using Python scripting and through the creation of their own models/plug-ins.

o. The way in which the course relates to courses in other departments, divisional or interdisciplinary programs (if appropriate, possibilities for interdisciplinary use might be given);

This is an excellent course for students in cognate disciplines (e.g. computer science, statistics) that want to obtain facility in spatial data science programing methods.

p. Justification for any substantial overlap with other courses in the college curriculum, indicating the unique/specific focus of the course proposed; Content is unique to the Hunter College curriculum for undergraduate students. q. Please specify if this course was offered as a topics or experimental course in the past and state the prefix and number.

In person

• Course Description: CHEM 29000 is a 1-credit course designed to expose undergraduate students to the multiple facets of laboratory research available at Hunter College. This is not a laboratory research course. The semester will consist of a combination of research seminars presented by the research- active faculty at Hunter College and a discussion of a variety of research-based topics including ethics, safety and record keeping. Students will also work on a team project to develop a scientific problem that can be addressed using cutting edge technology such as 3D printing and scanning.

• Rationale: (Do not remove questions) The content of this course was offered before under different course numbers, but the department decided that will be helpful to have an introduction to research course that students can take before joining research labs. Research-based topics including ethics, safety and record keeping are very important and must be covered in a standalone course.

I. Nature of the proposed course: 9. If the proposed course is part of a new academic program, refer to the overall objectives of the program (i.e., on a cover sheet or Appendix)

CHEM 29000 is a required course in our chemistry major 1 (ACS major), but for other chemistry majors or minors will be a helpful introduction to research, before students will join an actual lab.

10. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rationale that includes: y. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e., student, departmental, community, job market needs);

This is a combination of research seminars presented by the research-active faculty at Hunter College and a discussion of a variety of research-based topics including ethics, safety and record keeping. Will help students in their majors, research applications and job marketing.

z. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin;

We offer Chem 29101 and Chem 29102 for actual research in the lab. Chem 29000 is related to these courses and is beneficial to the student before joining a lab (it involves research-based topics including ethics, safety and record keeping).

Mode of instruction: (see syllabus checklist.) Default mode: Hybrid

• Course Description: I. A brief description for the College Catalog. This course enables students to understand fashion and costume (clothes worn by people) using the lens of cultural studies. The course will take students on a journey of non-Western clothing alongside Euro-Western clothing and under major critical movements and concepts such as cultural studies, Orientalism, post-coloniality, subalternity, pan-Africanism, feminism and gender, material culture, thing theory, visual dramaturgy, to reveal how clothes and costumes are shaped by such forces. Readings in theatre and performance, anthropology, sociology, film and media, history (and microhistories such as fashion history and theatre history) and other areas will help students develop an understanding of the global aesthetics of the body on stage, on screen and on the street.

Approximately 30 pages of writing (group and solo, visual, textual, and tactile research, 2-3 class presentations. An additional 10 pages may be necessary for revisions.

• Rationale: (Do not remove questions) K. Nature of the proposed course: 11. If the proposed course is part of a new academic program, refer to the overall objectives of the program (i.e., on a cover sheet or Appendix) 12. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rationale that includes: ee. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e., student, departmental, community, job market needs);

This course is built upon a prior special topics course Costume History in the theatre dept. I am tweaking that course to discuss a non-Western fashion history alongside important cultural studies movements that have shaped clothing and costumes and their analyses.

ff. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin;

The course uses a chronological trajectory such as from Plato to NATO (Greek to mid-twentieth Eurocentric history) that has been typical in history classes and then counters it by presenting influences of feminism and gender studies in fashion for examples, influences of subaltern studies, influences of material culture studies on fashion and costumes. Given my expertise in post-colonial research and practice, I am restructuring the course with a lens on the Global South, and that methodology both builds upon and challenges a Euro-centric model of fashion and costume understanding.

gg. The way in which the course relates to courses in other departments, divisional or interdisciplinary programs (if appropriate, possibilities for interdisciplinary use might be given);

This course can definitely relate to other departments and their practice and research trajectories, such as women and gender studies, anthropology, history, sociology, economics, film and media etc.

hh. Justification for any substantial overlap with other courses in the college curriculum, indicating the unique/specific focus of the course proposed;

This course currently does not overlap with courses in other departments. This is the only course in fashion/costume studies I am aware of in the college. Hence, I have had students from other departments such as anthropology, art history, and film and media in the past.

ii. Please specify if this course was offered as a topics or experimental course in the past and state the prefix and number.

Yes it was offered as a special topics course: Costume History THEA 39795 in the past.

jj. List of courses, if any, which are to be withdrawn when the new course is adopted.

This course is currently offered as a special topics costume history course. THEA 39795 will be withdrawn.

L. The following additional information must be supplied in the special instances noted: 7. When ENGL 12000 is to be specified as a Pre- or co-requisite, the rationale must justify this in terms of the writing that is to be done in the course. ENGL 12000 is to be specified as a Pre- or co-requisite, The course requires about 30 pages of writing over the semester, with 10 pages of revision. It requires 30-40 pages of reading every week. So English composition is essential.

8. In the case of courses given in non-organized classes such as field work, internship, independent study, etc., an explanation must be given as to how the student will earn the credits consistent with the student effort required in organized classes. It should be noted that a course may not carry more credits than contact hours. Laboratory courses usually carry one credit per two contact hours.

In-Person

• Course Description: K. A brief description for the College Catalog.

Building on the foundational knowledge of the grammar and writing taught in JPN 10100 and 10200, this course will help students develop their four language skills in more depth, through areas such as Japanese conversation and Japanese pronunciation (speaking), Chinese Characters (reading and writing), Composition (Writing) and media (listening).

L. Writing Requirement: the number of papers and their approximate length, the extent to which library or electronic research is expected, or a statement of other writing requirements. Any absence of a formal writing requirement must be specified.

This course will require bi-weekly writing assignments (approximately 7 sentences for each assignment) in Japanese. In addition, at the end of each chapter, students will submit a summary about the topic discussed. Additional vocabulary lists or similar creation of study-aid lists will be required. For the final examination, students will be required to submit a summary of a topic of their choosing, write a 1-2-

page research paper, and create and present a poster in Japanese about their research. Lastly, after watching/reading classmates’ work, each student will be asked to submit a ½-1-page summary of a classmate’s work. All assignments will be written entirely in Japanese to maximize target-language output.

• Rationale:

Currently there are no elective Japanese language courses for JPN 20100 (Intermediate Japanese 1) students. In Beginning Japanese 1 and 2, the two and only language courses in this level, the focus is on grammar and writing the Japanese characters (alphabet and Chinese characters). Thus, conversation, writing compositions, etc., do not receive sufficient attention. This course will give students who completed two semesters of Japanese the opportunity to expand their knowledge at their level and abilities, and develop the four skills (listening, speaking writing, and reading) in more depth. Enabling students to further develop these four skills will supply them with a more integrated knowledge of the language. This knowledge will hopefully strengthen their base and their confidence and will spark deeper interest in and curiosity about the language. Since the Japanese Program is currently in the process of establishing a major, adding a course such as this is essential for encouraging students to claim Japanese as a major rather than merely satisfying general college language requirements.

M. Nature of the proposed course: 13. If the proposed course is part of a new academic program, refer to the overall objectives of the program (i.e., on a cover sheet or Appendix) The proposed course is part of an established academic program. See rationale above.

14. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rationale that includes: kk. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e., student, departmental, community, job market needs);

Currently there are no elective Japanese language courses for JPN 20100 (intermediate Japanese 1) students. Our JPN 27100: Japanese Reading: Recitation and Comprehension course, which has prerequisite of JPN 20100, is the only language elective course currently offered in the 200 level, and it is one of the more popular courses in our program. Through the popularity of JPN 27100, we understood that 200-level students are eager to learn more than what the core courses currently have to offer. This course attempts to expose students in the lower level (prerequisite: JPN 10200) to broader aspects of Japanese studies and give more sufficient attention to the four skills, as well as give students more opportunity to express themselves in the learned language, expose them to Japanese media, and introduce them to more multi-dimensional aspects of the language at a level which they can understand. Furthermore, with the establishment of the first Japanese Major, this course will count as an elective toward that major and help introduce students to the appeal/value of majoring in Japanese, at an early stage of their studies.

ll. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin;

The course would raise the level of language used by students, which is one of the main goals through all language divisions in the department of Classical & Oriental Studies in general, and in the Japanese Program in particular. It will help students in their 200 level core language courses (JPN 20100 and 20200) as well as strengthen their knowledge and confidence to continue on to the 300- and 400-level language courses. It will increase students’ interest to minor or major in Japanese, and, as a result, increase their chances to work in a Japanese-related field or to continue their higher education in the field.

mm. The way in which the course relates to courses in other departments, divisional or interdisciplinary programs (if appropriate, possibilities for interdisciplinary use might be given);

This course works hand-in-hand with other Hunter programs such as Spanish, which is similar to Japanese in terms of enrollment numbers, and which also strengthens its base-students’ grasp of the language by offering 200-level courses other than the core ones (JPN 20100 and 20200). Examples of similar courses in the Spanish Program: SPAN 21100: Spanish Grammar & Composition SPAN 27000: Spanish Composition SPAN 20300: Intensive Intermediate Spanish

nn. Justification for any substantial overlap with other courses in the college curriculum, indicating the unique/specific focus of the course proposed;

This course does not substantially overlap with other courses in the college curriculum. As mentioned above, we do offer a JPN 20100 prerequisite course—JPN 27100: Japanese Reading: Recitation and Comprehension. However, the proposed course will be offered to lower-level students (Prequisite: JPN 10200), and will offer broader topics of all four skills of language acquisition.

oo. Please specify if this course was offered as a topics or experimental course in the past and state the prefix and number.

This course has been offered as an experimental course, JPN 20N05, in Fall 2020 and proved very successful. It is going to be offered for the second time in Summer 2021.

pp. List of courses, if any, which are to be withdrawn when the new course is adopted.

No courses will be withdrawn when this course is adopted.

N. The following additional information must be supplied in the special instances noted: 9. When ENGL 12000 is to be specified as a Pre- or co-requisite, the rationale must justify this in terms of the writing that is to be done in the course.

Since the course requires writing in Japanese only, ENGL 12000 is not required as a prerequisite.

10. In the case of courses given in non-organized classes such as field work, internship, independent study, etc., an explanation must be given as to how the student will earn the credits consistent with the student effort required in organized classes. It should be noted that a course may not carry more credits than contact hours. Laboratory courses usually carry one credit per two contact hours.

Students will have to submit a report written in Japanese, and/or present what was learned in Japanese, directly to the instructor.

The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e., student, departmental, community, job market needs);

Many of our majors want to work in public relations and marketing, and quite a few do after graduation. While our curriculum includes the course MEDP 31400: Public Relations: Theory and Practice, this new course will give students a more targeted understanding of how marketing works in arts-related disciplines, including the use of social media and digital media skills. This course will make students more prepared for internships offered through our department and the Office of the Arts. Since it is generally taught by part time instructors who are practitioners in this area, it could also potentially lead to important feedback on current practices and networking that could improve student access to jobs and careers.

b. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin;

We currently have only one class that directly relates to this area: MEDP 31400: Public Relations: Theory and Practice. This new course will give students a more targeted understanding of how marketing and strategic communications work film- and media-based organization, as well as in related arts disciplines.

c. The way in which the course relates to courses in other departments, divisional or interdisciplinary programs (if appropriate, possibilities for interdisciplinary use might be given);

This course is intended to introduce students to the history of modern South Asia from the coming of the Mughals in 1526 to the present.. It will serve as an introductory history survey course, providing a solid foundation for future majors while also providing generally accessible skills and knowledge of use to all students. This course is currently being taught in the History Department as HIST 25076. I am submitting a new course proposal in order to change the course number to HIST 261, to allow the course to be part of Pathways World Cultures and to fulfill both the W and P&D Group A requirements. This course will replace HIST 25076.

The course should also fulfill the P&D Group A (non-Europeans societies) requirement. The course is focused on the South Asian region.

The course will also fulfill the “World” category within the History major. This is one of three geographic areas (the others being US and Europe) in which students must take several courses in order to complete the major.

3. Rationale: The current title for the course is a bit misleading based on the content covered and taught in the course. The content is directly related to Skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior and less directly related to the experimental analysis of behavior. Additionally, some employers and doctoral programs are looking for students who have some exposure to verbal behavior in their graduate programs. We would like to change the name of the course so that it is a better descriptor of the content.

3. Rationale: This course was initially designed only to allow students to access supervised independent fieldwork for certification and licensure purposes. The requirements for certification are changing as of January 1, 2022 and students are now required to have coursework in personnel supervision and management. Because students were already engaging in these activities during EDABA 770, this course was an ideal course for which to add this additional information. The amount of coursework and fieldwork requirements will stay the same, but the overall content will shift from a focus on client interventions to staff interventions.

Effective Term: Fall 2021

Rationale: Students aren't familiar with the term Cult TV, but programs are labeled cult when they draw an active fandom, which is one that forms networks to produce and exchange content (magazines, novels, videos, print art, crafts) based on the program. Social media has facilitated and enhanced the production of these networks. Television producers leverage these networks of affiliation to keep programs on the air when their ratings are low by resignifying them as a brand community, thus commoditizing them in the logic of affective economics. Platforms and channels have increasingly sought to build connection to shows based on established brands, with cult television becoming yet another category or genre. Students will gain the benefit of encountering a dominant contemporary industry practice, one that has replaced previous models of marketing and development.

Rationale: The course prerequisites have been changed to be uniform with other 300-level international relations courses. Greater uniformity will make the prerequisites for the class clearer, while also reducing the likelihood that students in need of a 300-level course in POLSC will be unable to meet the prerequisites for doing so. This is an upper level IR course and students that have taken another IR course should be prepared to handle the materials.

The course description has also been updated to better reflect more contemporary issues in international political economy.

Effective Term: Fall 2021

Rationale for the change in prerequisites: The Political Science department is simplifying and streamlining prerequisites for 30000 level classes to make it easier for undergraduates to take the courses they need to graduate. This is an upper level IR course and students that have taken another IR course should be prepared to handle the materials.

Rationale for the change to 4 credits: The increase to 4 credits is justified by the commensurate increase in critical thinking, written and oral presentation work required in the upgraded version of this course. The revised course pushes students to think more critically and engage more with the conceptual foundations and theoretical debates in the field of international relations. Throughout the semester, students will encounter major theoretical explanations that they will explore more fully in their course papers and in summaries of and presentations about important texts. The research paper will help them learn how to organize material into a coherent literature review of an important theoretical debate or puzzle. In sum, the intensive reading, research, writing, and public speaking expectations of the course necessitate a four-credit schedule.

Rationale for prerequisite change, name change, and change to 4 credits: The Political Science department is simplifying and streamlining prerequisites for 30000 level classes to make it easier for undergraduates to take the courses they need to graduate. This is an upper level IR course and students that have taken another IR course should be prepared to handle the materials. Second, the course name change better reflect the content of the course as it evolved from the 1990s. Third, the increase to 4 credits is justified by the commensurate increase in critical thinking, written and oral presentation work required in the upgraded version of this course. Policy debates about Russia need to be better grounded in social science insights about the domestic and international behavior of globalized authoritarian regimes and great powers. Similarly, many of Russia’s historical weaknesses have structural roots, such as economic underdevelopment punctuated by problematic bursts of modernization that create enduring political and economic legacies.

The new variant of the course will push students to think more critically and engage more with competing explanations and theoretical foundations about the sources and different facets of Russian politics and policies. In so doing, students are better able to reflect on commonalities and differences in the goals, means, and politics of states that resemble Russia as well as those that are very different but sometimes pursue similar policies. Throughout the semester, students will encounter useful models for their papers as the class examines both the substantive findings and the varying research approaches in the required readings. The research paper will help them learn how to organize material into a coherent argument to address a contemporary problem using concepts from the literature. In sum, the intensive reading, research, writing, and public speaking expectations of the course necessitate a four-credit schedule.

Lecture Lecture Effective Term: FALL 2021

Rationale: The class draws on key political science concepts and traditions around political participation and electoral politics, with a focus on interest groups and social movements, the law, and public policies such as immigration and education. The course situates the emergence and development of the Asian American Movement to international and domestic politics, to the Civil Rights Movement, and to the Third World Liberation Front Movements. The readings include writings by legal scholars Lani Guinier, Derrick Bell (co founder of Critical Race Theory), and civil rights leader Stokely Carmichael. The social movements covered include Civil Rights, Black Power, the Asian American Movement, labor movements (UFW), and Black Lives Matter. In addition to the learning outcomes presented in the syllabus, the students will also learn how to advocate for and effectuate political change.

For both students in AAS and in Political Science, the gains from cross listing are that students will likely leave with enhanced intellectual curiosity, which can lead to further training in other disciplines. Further, the students' exposure to learnings and learners outside their core program allows them to gain an innovative perspective.

● Rationale: To make the foundational courses in translation/interpreting practice accessible without barriers to first-year students, we propose to remove the current prerequisite Translation Theory from the course Spanish-English Simultaneous Interpreting. As a professionally oriented program, MATI prepares students for careers that are directly driven by diverse industry sectors and a broad spectrum of public and community affairs. As such, most students looking to pursue the MATI are first drawn to the practical skill-based courses (such as Medical Translation, or Consecutive Interpreting) as these appeal to the student’s performative (linguistic/cultural) propensities rather than academic knowledge. Thus we say that in this field it is practice that informs theory and not the other way round. Simultaneous Interpreting is here made available to serious students who have completed the prerequisite Consecutive Interpreting. The course description is revised to make language more precise and reflective of the relevant knowledge of the field.
