Assessment statements for syllabi for Spring 2013
Discussion was held on the upcoming assessment/common outcomes that will soon be required. Betty McKie indicated that MCC Assessment Team will be attending meetings and will work up a statement for MCC faculty to use in syllabi. We will be assessing five common student learning outcomes. More to come.
EMT/AEMT Program Layouts and EMT 170 course questions
Kathy Frisbie spoke as Division Chair for Don Enninga on the EMS 170 issue and indicated that EMT 170 remains part of the certificate. She provided a new program layout for the EMT/AEMT Program. Jessica Edington will switch the new layout with the previous one submitted in the WUFOO program.
TABLED - Associate of Science in Agriculture – new layout?
Layout submitted was still unclear. Jaylene will send it back to Kelly Overturf for clarification. Jaylene will be attending a meeting next Monday in which there may be a statewide agreement for the same program, so this may be redundant with that program.
AGE 102 – resubmitted
TABLED - PHI 115 & 116 World Religions-West/East –requested to be added as electives to AA degree. Submitted in error. Not needed as both courses were previously approved as electives for the AA.

Program Entries

/ APPROVED CHANGE -Medical Office Assistant C
Changing program: MOT 181 left in Medical Office Assistant. Taking Internship out of AAS degree since it isn’t part of Certificate. Capstone experience dependent on student placement. Program credits changed from 61-60 credits (pending CCCS approval.) Practicum changed to summer instead of spring to get higher quality placements. Include this information in the catalog verbiage. Changing to summer is better because malpractice insurance rules which means students only have to purchase it once instead of twice. Another course switched: Insurance Billing and Coding is changing to spring from fall.
