Present: Snavely (Chair), Carrig, Wallace, Matthews, M. Bonn, Preston, West.
The meeting was called to order at 11:00 a.m.
Alan Wallace shared data from the WAC Workshop, and gave Jean Preston a list of faculty who are to receive certificates of completion.
The committee then met with Mike West from Adult Education to discuss proposed changes in the Adult Education program, and how those changes might impact the incorporation of the Writing Intensive requirement.
The committee approved Music 116, a two-credit course taught by Dimitri Shapovalav, as writing intensive for the Fall 07 semester. The committee will consider retroactive approval for this same course for Fall 06 on a case-by-case basis for students who petition for such approval. No retroactive approval or waivers will be granted for students who take this course after Fall 06. The Music Department will be responsible for insuring access to sufficient Writing Intensive credits for its majors.
The committee approved three courses taught by Rick Matthews as writing intensive: Criminal Justice 200 (spring 08), Sociology 141 (spring 08), and Sociology 142 (Fall 07, ACE).
The committee also approved German 311 (spring 08), to be taught by Richard Sperber, and Sociology 271, “I Shop, Therefore I Am” (spring 08), to be taught by Bradley Zopf, as writing intensive.
Tom Groleau’s course, BUSA 333, to be taught in spring 08, was approved as writing intensive provided the writing intensive cap is honored.
Alan Wallace will speak with Roger Bass regarding further clarification on the proposed writing intensive course, EDUC 150.
The meeting was adjourned at 12:05 p.m. The date and time of the next meeting is TBD.
