Our next meeting will be Tuesday, March 15, 2011, from 10:30-11:45 in the Tyler Haynes Commons, Room 305 (THC 305). Please review the agenda below and the cited materials in advance of the meeting.
Approval of minutes from the March 1, 2011 meeting.
General Informational Items
Deadline for nominations for the David Evans Outstanding Scholar/Artist Awards is March 25. These are the awards announced at Honors Convocation. The recipients of these awards are to be undergraduates in the School of Arts and Sciences, typically of senior standing, who have done independent scholarship or creative work of unusually high quality, far exceeding what is normally expected of undergraduates. Although the projects for which awards are given may have originated within the context of a course, they will typically have been pursued outside and beyond the requirements and limits of coursework. Nominations should come from the chair or program coordinator. In nominating a student, the department chair or program coordinator should send a letter to the Undergraduate Research Committee, explaining why the student is worthy of recognition, and enclosing whatever documentation or evidence is relevant (Copies of papers or works or art; evaluation by mentors; conference or journal acceptance letters, etc.) Nominations and supporting materials should arrive in the Dean's Office no later than Friday, March 25.
Consent Agenda
We will use the Consent Agenda to deal with routine business that requires Academic Council action and would not be expected to generate discussion. Any item can be moved from the Consent Agenda to the Discussion Agenda.
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.
Modern Literatures & Cultures
Proposal for linguistics major
Rhetoric and Communication Studies
Revised course proposal (number change only):
RHCS 100 Public Speaking (formerly RHCS 200)
1 unit
Prerequisites (if any): None
Discussion Agenda
Next Meeting
We will meet on Tuesday, April 5, 2011 at 10:30 a.m. in Tyler Haynes Commons, Room 305 (THC 305).
