Approved Minutes
1. Minutes of
September 13th
were approved.
2. We agreed on the contents of a letter to
go out
about collecting data on Category 7 and Category 8 courses.
3.
We looked at
student
appeal for a course substitution. The appeal was denied since this
course is
not, according to the course description, truly an appropriate
substitution.
Jim Rife moving, Brandon Cooke seconded. Unanimous decision.
4.
We looked at
a student
appeal for a course substitution from another school. The appeal is
unclear and
Ron Nickerson will seek out more information.
5.
We looked at
a student
appeal for a situation involving quarter-to-semester transitioning. The
course
does not allow the student to attain the prerequisite number of credits
in
Category 9. Appeal denied. Gretta Handke Moving, Kellian Clink
seconding.
Unananimous decision.
6.
We looked at
a student
request for a course substitution for a history course which was
granted for
Categories 5 and 8, Gretta Handke moved, Jim Rife seconded, unanimous
decision.
7.
The course
substitution
appeal for the science course was granted. We understand that while the
upper
level courses (Biol 220 & 230)
were more difficult and challenging than Bio 100, we would
encourage the
department to consider adding these higher level courses to their
general
education offerings if they indeed meet general education objectives.
Respectfully submitted,
Kellian Clink .
