5. AGENDA 1

A. Special Topics Courses Effective Spring 2016 (1) DRAM-70N (Dance Topics in Musical Theatre) pg. 16-19

0.5 unit: 1.5 hour TBA lab. Limitation on enrollment: Enrollment by audition or interview. Instructor signature required. One-way corequisite: DRAM-02 Advisory: ENGL-85

This rehearsal and performance course offers the beginning stage performer skills in contemporary dance and emphasizes the application of choreographic concepts and skills through rehearsal and public performance.

Item 5A.1 (DRAM-70) was pulled by Julie Clark. Julie stated that we had this course

on the September 3rd agenda as DRAM-70L. Julie also went on to state that after the course was approved it was suggested to change it to a lab class and to make DRAM-02 a one-way corequisite. Julie stated that in an email exchange with Teresa Gudgel the corequisite can be section specific in the schedule but general in the course outline of record.

Dee Near inquired on if this is true only for Special Topics courses. Julie Clark stated that she does not know the answer, but believes it is true for all courses. Dee went on to state this would result in disproportional impact to students.

Approve Agenda 1A, as required by Title 5, effective Spring 2016.

7. BUSINESS A. Information: Program Investigations

(1) Mechatronics/Automated System Technology (AA/CT) October 9, 2015 1:00-2:00pm in Board Room

Julie Clark announced the first meeting for the Mechatronics/Automated System Technology is Friday October 9th from 1-2pm in the Board Room.

Steve Meidinger inquired on what this is exactly. Julie Clark stated that this is where we form a committee including discipline faculty and people from the industry to see what the viability is of the current program, do we keep it as is, keep it with modifications, or eliminate it.

Susan Walsh stated this was desired mainly by faculty. Susan went on to state that Aaron Hamilton would go to food companies and ask what Mechatronics is and no one could answer them. Nancy Golz went on to explain that this is more to change rather than to discontinue.

Dee Near inquired on why we are doing an investigation instead of just doing a modification. Julie Clark explained that AP4105 is not just about discontinuing a program but also to make major changes. In the end we might need to discontinue the current program and create a new program.

Dee Near stated that many of the courses in the program are part of other programs. Julie Clark explained that she sent the Senate President a list of courses unique to that program for OGIR to give us data on. Julie stated there were about two to three courses unique to Mechatronics.

Susan Walsh reminded everyone that these meetings are open to the public and welcomed anyone to attend that would like to learn more about the process.

B. Discussion: English Curriculum Changes

Julie Clark stated that the committee would like an update on the proposed curriculum changes coming on English.

Denise Rempel presented the proposed changes including showing a diagram of the proposed and current structure of the English Curriculum.

Good lengthy dialog took place regarding the proposed changes. Items discussed included: The difference between the traditional, ESL, and accelerated pathways. Integrating reading and writing into one course. Lecture to out of class assignment ratio. Course outline of records being distinctly different.

Denise Rempel requested a list, from the Committee, of what they need to see to feel "in the know" about our curriculum changes. Second, Denise asked which members we needed to discuss these matters with in more detail (i.e. counseling). Lastly, Denise inquired on what is an acceptable time frame to have these courses be an "action" item on the agenda.

The committee requested to see the data and how these proposed changes compare to surrounding colleges. It was also recommended to include the CB21 coding for these courses.

C. Discussion: Curriculum Chair-elect Senate Resolution Julie Clark discussed the proposed senate resolution. This would create a Chair-elect

that would shadow the current chair, a year before becoming chair. It would also give the opportunity for someone to serve a third term.

Dee Near is concerned about someone serving more than 4 years and that could cause someone to get burned out. Dee also stated the wording about the election might need to be reworded.

John Albano stated that being Curriculum Chair requires a learning curve. Dee Sigismond stated she agrees with Dee Near that this would require people to do

a 5 year commitment. Dee also believe this resolution has 2 big items and that they need to be separated. Dee also stated the 2/3 vote to serve a third term is discouraging to others that might be interested in running.

Denis Rempel read off a statement on behalf of Kevin Kistler: It would be good to change the Curriculum Committee Chair as the bylaws already have established. The reasons are: First, it gives valuable experience to other faculty. Second, it helps bring new liveliness to the position. Third, it helps prevent institutional quagmire, i.e. getting locked into the same way of doing things. Fourth, there are many faculty members as qualified as the current Chair to do this job and have been active on the Curriculum Committee already and have a passion for an expertise in curriculum.

Steve Meidinger commented that the election of the chair-elect is confusing. Steve suggested cleaning up that language.

Dee Near gave a brief history about how the Senate President use to turn into the Curriculum Chair.

Megan Igo thanked everyone for their comments and suggestions.

D. Discussion: 2016-2017 Meeting Times Julie Clark stated that these meetings really need to be 2 hours in length as you can

see we have been running out of time every meeting. Julie suggested she put early on the next agenda to discuss whether to make the meeting Wednesdays 2:00-4:00pm or Thursdays 11:00-1:00pm. Then we could have an action item on November 5th to take action on the date and time of the meetings.

E. Discussion: Associate Degree Breadth Requirements and Title 5

This item was tabled to a future agenda.
