Chair, Larry Daily called the meeting to order at 4:10 p.m. Meeting Schedule (2009-2010): The General Studies Committee will meet every third Wednesday of the month at 4:10pm Approval of minutes for meeting from 11/4/2009 Minutes approved and re-submitted, made corrections to item V. to move point #2 to a new section VII. Email Discussion. The discussion about the retreat occurred after the Nov. 4 meeting was adjourned. Chairs Report Dr. Daily reported about the first Academic Reform Coordinating Committee. The purpose of this committee is to communicate amongst the various groups on campus discussing Academic Reform. The committee discussed various models for the first year experience. Considering if the First Year experience should be part of the major or if it should be a more general experience. The committee spoke of concerns about credits and staffing. A blended model was also discussedthis would be housed in the major and in the core curriculum. There are many ways the first year experience can be donewe need to determine what kind of experience the First year will be. Dr. Daily also commented on the importance of the Strategic Plan and provided reasons as to why we need to follow it as we develop the new Core Curriculum. Strategic Plan was a transparent 2-year process that was approved and accepted by the university. As President Shipley made the crossroads presentations it was made clear that curricular reform would occur. Since the plan was approved more faculty line have been added and more travel funds have been allocated, among other things. Goals and ISOs feedback from departments (NURS) Approved by department (PSYC) Approved by department (MUSC) Approved by department (PSCI) Approved by Department, but members had concerns about the lack of philosophy and philosophical questions in the Goals and ISO's and with ISO 3.3 Practice professional ethics and ethical reasoning. (CSME) Approved by department. Concerned with the wording in ISO 1.1 Acquire knowledge versus the LEAP goals that states Through Study (IES) Approved by department. Some Goals and ISO seem vague, but Dr. Synder explained this was done intentionally to keep the Goals broad. (CHEM) has not discussed with department yet. (SGA) Approved. (HIST) Approved by department. No major issues. Some of the wording is bland. Dr. Henriksson went on to discuss his concern about the FYEX. Wants this committee to evaluate and analyze if it is realistic for ϳԹto pull off. With 900 incoming first year students, and with 15 students in each FYEX, we would have to hold 60 sections of this course. Can we logistically pull this off? This does not include our Transfer students. (E&ML) Approved by department. Did have some wording issues and motioned to remove more from ISO 1.1. Dr. Nixon also mentioned concern for writing intensive courses and what are the guidelines for these type of courses. GSC will have to define this as we develop the core curriculum. (BIOL) has not held a formal vote on the Goals and ISOs. (BADM) will meet to discuss on Nov. 30 (EDUC) Discussed concern for Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) and asked whether this is something we plan to institute. As we begin thinking about the FYEX the GSC needs to consider: what will it do (introduce a career or provide a general overview). (EDUC) is hopeful that more classes in the core curriculum will also count toward the major. (EDUC) is concerned with the reduction of hours to 120. (HPERS) Did not meet yet, faculty have a copy of the goals. There was concern about ISO 2.6 where it states lifelong learning and wellness they wanted to know if this also meant lifelong wellnessperhaps clarification on this. Anna also mentioned state goals for general studies. There is concern that the new core will not meet these state goals/guidelines. However, nothing official on the State Goals can be found. We are still waiting to hear more on this issue. (LIBRARY) plan to meet 11/19. No major issues. Ann did bring up a concern for the FYEX and all the undecided students. Where would undecided students go if the FYEX is housed under the major? (MCOM) will meet Friday 11/20. Does not foresee any major issues. (ART) No Major Issues. There were lots of questions why. A mention of Alverno College and to review their Goals. Even though, Alverno has a succinct list, many of the items listed are covered in our Goals + ISOs. There is a concern about how capstone and the FYEX. How will these integrate with the major and new Core Curriculum? Through the discussion of the Goals and ISOs, two changes were made. Motion to delete the word more in ISO 1.1. Motion approved, no opposed. Motion to add understanding in ISO 3.3. Motion passed. 2 opposed. It is noted one of the opposed is from Dr. Schultz. The Goals and ISOs will be revised and distributed again. It should also be noted that discussion on ISO 3.3 may be continued at the 12/2 meeting. Date for Retreat: Jan 46 and Jan. 18 Discussion about retreat took place over email. As the committee, discussed dates it was determined that Martin Luther King Jr. is a no go. Since NCTC will be closed for the Federal Holiday and also considering many schools have off and people may have trouble finding day care for kids. Committee discussed Jan. 4 and 5. Dr. Daily will send out an email asking which of the two days is best. The retreat will fall on whichever date has the most members in attendance. This will be a working meeting not a voting meeting since many it is already known not all members can make either date. Framework Will be discussed at the next meeting Other Business No other business was discussed Meeting adjourned at 5:30 pm Respectfully submitted, Kristin Kaineg, Secretary K_c 8 J0V| !.!/!N!O!!!ʾʾʧʙyskhOCJaJ hOaJh^"hO5aJhqhOOJQJhhOOJQJhhO5CJOJQJhOhOOJQJh_hO5OJQJh*hO5OJQJhOOJQJhOh_hOCJh_hO5CJ\h_hOCJ\h_hO5CJKcd#AZz:Zs$ R e 7$8$H$gdOgdO gdO!e 0 R S T   3Jd^gdOm$ & F dgdOm$d^gdOm$ & FdgdOm$gdOgdO 7$8$H$gdOJhr|h(jGTU & F dgdOm$ dgdOm$ & F dgdOm$UV| !.!/!N!O!n!!!gdO^gdO ^`gdO & FgdOd^gdOm$ & FdgdOm$ & FdgdOm$ dgdOm$ 1h/ =!"#$%H@H FNormalCJKH\_HaJmH sH tH B@B F Heading 1$$@&a$5KHDA@D Default Paragraph FontRi@R  Table Normal4 l4a (k@(No List@2@@ FList 2^`KH\<B@< F Body Text$a$KH\LZ@L F Plain TextCJKHOJQJ\^JaJjO"j FList Paragraphd^m$CJKHOJPJQJ\aJB'@1B FComment ReferenceCJaJT@BT F Comment TextCJKHOJPJQJ\aJJOQJ F Char Char1OJPJQJ_HmH sH tH 6U@a6 F Hyperlink >*B*phHrH F Balloon TextCJOJQJ^JaJ2 z z z.:Kcd#AZz:Zs$Re 0RST3   J h r |h(jGTUV|./NOn0h0h0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh0KKh 0KKh0KKh 0KKh 0KK  0KK0KKh 0KKh 0KKj 0KKj 0KKj 0K0 0Kp` 0KpK`ƀ 0Kp 0KKj 0KKj 0 KKj 0 KKj 0 KKj 0 KKj 0 KKj 0KpK` 0KKp 0KKj0KKj0KKj 0KKj 0KKj0KKj0KKj0KKj0KKj 0KKЌ0KpK`0KK0KKp 0KKj 0KK`ƀ 0KKм 0KKР0KKj 0KKР0KKj0KKj0KKj0p`Kcd#AZz:Zs$Re 0RST3   J h r V/NOn0@ʀ0@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ 0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ 0KJ@ʀ 0KJ@ʀ 0KJ@ʀ0KJ@ʀ 0KJ@ʀ !J  !J  05JJȀ0JJȀ0JJȀ0JJȀ0JJȀ0JJȀ0JJȀ 05JL@ʀ 0JLȀ 0JLȀ <I<8o <I<8o <I<8o!e JU!!8 @ 0(  B S  ?GM@F7?( , 0 4 B H %9={ q KO -0::: I b%|[@ 2TW;4z[/:<<2FUqKfcMX_N*V]foe_=F@eZ vl)8 0^`05hH. 88^8`hH. pp^p`hH. @ @ ^@ `hH. ^`hH. ^`hH. ^`hH. ^`hH.
