VI. Waiver Requests
Nicole Newton, Education: EDUC 201, 2007 request needed from instructor to clarify in a letter promises made about this course being WI certified. Steege to contact instructor.
VII. Unfinished Business: Chris R. writing assessment task force request. What is the role of the task force? What can WAC contribute? WAC doesn’t set course goals. HOC has oversight of the skill goals for writing and has met once. Western Heritage oversight should be doing their assessment as well as Global Heritage oversight. Assessment is one of the two big things they do. Dept. are also working on assessment. How can the task force bring assessment under one umbrella or disperse?
VIII. New Business: cut off date of Oct. 27th for cut off for making a course writing intensive for J-term and Spring.
