2. Approval of Agenda
Originally,
VN*55A2 (now VN*030) was listed under Revision of Courses but the department
decided not to review VN*55A2 and has submitted a new course for VN*030. We will need to revise the agenda by
removing item 4c.11 and adding VN*033 as item 4a.6. During the last CRC meeting, it was determined that COMM*005
should be COMM*025 but Jennifer forgot to reflect this on the agenda. Jennifer reviewed Hoan’s email
about submitted paperwork. These
notes are reflected in the minutes below.
It was MSC (Ensminger/Zummo) to approve the agenda as revised.
3. Approval of Summary Minutes –
February 24, 2003
Under 4a.4 and 4a.5
strike “distance learning” from last sentence. Under 4c.9, change PT*068 to VN*030 in
the last sentence. Under 4c.8, add
‘(PT*030)’ after PT*068.
It was MSC (Dworak/Szabados) to approve the summary minutes of February
24, 2003 as revised.
4. Course Approvals
a. New Courses – First Reading
(1) LIB*910 – Library Basic Skills
Learning/Relearning – 0.0 Unit
Win-Shin explained to the Tech Review committee that this course would not be
double-dipping since the intent of these courses is supplemental to hours by
arrangement. The rationale for
lack of assignments is that since this course has no credit, it may be
difficult to require students to submit/perform assignments. Committee feels there should be some kind
of student outcome/accountability.
Rep will speak with proposer about the lack of student evaluation and
course evaluation. Committee reviewed course outline, Alex will speak to
proposer about committee’s concerns. Course will go forward for second reading.
(2) LIB*920 – Information Competency
Workshops – 0.0 Unit
Replaced the current electronic copy of the course outline with an updated
version that included the objectives.
Committee reviewed course outline, Alex will speak to proposer about
committee’s concerns over the lack of student evaluation and course
evaluation. Course will go forward
for second reading.
(3) PT*033 – Communication and Nursing
Process – 3.0 Units
Lynn explained that the programs are being revamped and some PT and VN courses
are being combined early in the program.
To continue giving students credit in their respective areas, the
courses have to be submitted separately.
Since the course outlines for PT*033 and VN*033 are the same, the
committee reviewed the outlines together.
Committee reviewed course outline, course will go forward for second
reading.
(4) RUSS*050A – Beginning
Conversational Russian and Culture – 3.0 Units
Since there was no course abbreviation listed on the course outline, Jennifer
looked at West Valley’s coding for their Russian courses and determined
the course name would be RUSS, which matches West Valley’s coding. The committee was fine with this
decision. Discussion ensued about
the repeatability, determined the proposer’s rationale was okay and would
not change the proposed repeatability.
Yolanda did some research and found that beginning conversational
courses are not UC transferable.
Added “Area C Arts and Humanities” as the General
Education. Committee reviewed
course outline, course will go forward for second reading.
(5) VN*033 – Communication and Nursing
Process – 3.0 Units
See additional notes under PT*033 (4a.3).
Committee reviewed course outline, course will go forward for second
reading.
(6) VN*55A2 (now VN*030) – Medical
Surgical Nursing Theory – 4.0 Units
Lynn will check the minimum qualifications for Nursing vs. Vocational Nursing
for all VN/PT courses. Committee
reviewed outline, course will go forward for second reading.

concerns about there being additional changes in the area of content, which

contact Roy.
