Thanks, Warren!

A deadline of October , 2003 was set
as the final deadline for turning in reports from the GECCIGS for the
2002 Ð
2003 General Ed Assessment. Out
there right now close to completion are assessment reports for
categories 5, 6,
and 7. GECCIGS for
categories 8, 9, and 10 should continuing to collect data during the
fall semester
for completion of their reports next spring. The
General Education Committee will read, absorb, and write
cover letters as we did last year and try to get on the agenda for the
Spring
Department Chairs' Meeting.
Committee members will share these minutes with those
responsible for
those reports. Proposals were discussed for the sharing of the
assessment.
4)
After additional discussion on sharing
the assessment reports, it was decided that a meeting will be held for
the
GECCIG that wrote the IC (Writing Intensive) report (IC so far being
the
General Education Category with the widest array of departments
represented) to
communicate to anyone who is now or will be or is interested in
teaching a
writing intensive class. Committee
members who wrote IC were: Anne O'Meara, Gretta Handke, Jackie Vieceli,
Terry
Davis, Nancy-Fitzsimons-Cova Hal
Walberg, Dick Liebendorfer.
A
proposed time is November 14 at 1 pm. Kellian, Ron and Warren will see
to the
arrangements for the IC meeting.
We will discuss again communication devices for the other
committees.
5)
We discussed the flow chart of the
path of a course through Gen Ed/UCAP.
Johnson moved and Dick accepted that we approve the new flow
chart.
Motion carried.
6)
We discussed a regular meeting time
for NEXT YEAR. Other committees, it seems, have regularly scheduled
times to
facilitate committee members being able to schedule their other
responsibilities around them. Dick
moved and Jim seconded the motion to meet regularly on Wednesdays at 3
pm
beginning with the 2004 Ð 2005 academic year. Motion
carried.
7)
We agreed that those of us who can
will help with UCAP's training sessions for faculty on filling out the
new
forms. Dates and times of the
training sessions have not yet been established.
Respectfully
submitted,
Killian Clink and Ron Nickerson
