11:00 a.m.
Present:� Pamela Summers, Emilie Kudela, Marley Barduhn
Absent:� Joseph Rayle
CAP 260 � Catalog description � Take out �This course will provide an opportunity for students to obtain.�� Begin with �Knowledge and skills�.�
Is this really pertinent for a college course?� On page 2 of the proposal, in number 8; do we really have the faculty to teach the course? �Does the college have the resources and equipment (computers) necessary for this course to run?� It seems to be a vocational/technological course.� Why are we offering this for inclusion in our curriculum?� Is the exam part of the course?� This is unclear.� Why is it necessary to pass this exam?
Is this a resource course because of department guidelines?� Is there a research paper because of department guidelines?� How much is the presentation worth and how is it connected to the paper?
The attendance policy needs clarification.� For example, class meetings are once per week.� Does three absences mean three classes or three weeks?� The grading policy is also unclear.
There is an inclusion of Academic Honesty and then also, Attribution.� The College Policy should be used and followed here.� This is the standard source.
Action:� On hold.� Pam will write a memo and meet with Mark Connell to discuss this further with him.
CAP 404 � The question is raised again on whether or not we have faculty resources for this course.
The course attendance policy needs clarification, as in CAP 260.� Project assignments need clarification and additional information.�� Week 2 indicates that Project 1 is due.� Week 3 states, �begin project 1.�� This is not clear.
The grading policy has no + or � grades.� This is not within the college grading policy.
Action:� Pam will prepare a memo for this course as well indicating the suggested changes and updates and then will meet with Mark Connell to discuss it further.
Next Meeting:� The next meeting is scheduled for February 16.� NOTE:� The meeting on February 16 was canceled due to lack of proposals.� The next meeting is scheduled for March 2 at 11:00 am in Cornish D218.
