Next A&S Faculty Meeting
Thursday, April 21, 2011 in the Brown Alley Room of Weinstein Hall beginning at 4:00 p.m.
Actions for Academic Council approval on March 1, 2011
Philosophy
Revised course proposal (number change only):
PHIL 101 Introduction to Philosophical Problems and Arguments (formerly PHIL 200)
1 unit
Prerequisites (if any): None
Actions for Academic Council approval on March 15, 2011
Mathematics
Proposed program revision in mathematical economics (MTEC) major:
This moves ECON 340 Econometrics from the required list of courses to the list of ECON electives.
We have also asked the registrar to change the pre-requisites for MTEC 400 Capstone from Math 330 to Math 329.
This reduces the requirements for the major from 16 units to 15 units. The latter change addresses the difficulty that some majors have had fitting the capstone into their schedules. The reasons for moving Econometrics from the core to the elective also relate to difficulty students had fitting its long prerequisite chain into their schedules, particularly when combined with plans to study abroad.
Rhetoric and Communication Studies
Revised course proposal (number change only):
RHCS 100 Public Speaking (formerly RHCS 200)
1 unit
Prerequisites (if any): None
