David Barsky disbursed hard copies of Packet 5 & 6 to the committee. For the first ten minutes, he framed the discussion of the changes that reduce major units to 120.
P-Form in Spanish shows how the change is being made; reduction of four free electives.
P-Form in Computer Science was reviewed next. Reduction leaves only three free units.
P-Form in Chemistry: eliminated a LD CS requirement, which was not really needed (beyond the CCR). Every unit is accounted for. This form includes catalog copy.
P-Form Biochemistry, implemented last spring, proposed reduction from 125 to 123.
Approving these P-Forms, it would leave two majors about 120, Biochemistry and Business Administration.
Suggestion for language: Remove reference to electives in case where every unit is occupied. Will need new tag line.
Also, there was one other program in this situation—VPA. CAP approved all of these and if we accept these four, then we can accept VPA as well.
Biochem, Chemistry, Computer Science, Spanish (See Packet #6 below); also, VPA is provisionally APPROVED (same kind of change; the form is in David;s office but not on the agenda yet)

UCC/BLP Review:
New Program:
MASS P Form / B.A. in Mass Media10/11/04:
We began our discussion by going around the table and asking big questions. These included: How will this very small department deliver this major in addition to the Communication major? Equipment to support instruction? Aren’t lab spaces in KEL to be shared with other departments and programs? What do they think now that we know we will have five years of slower growth? Could this program be phased in? Elise will ask COMM for a course rotation, indicate availability of facilities and relationship of Mass Media, Communication, and VPA.
10/18/04:
1. We need a course rotation to understand the implementation of the program.
2. Need a chart to understand requirements for three tracks. Members drafted a grid as they tried to figure out major.
3. Question about COMM 330 and 360—both required by COMM and MM, but both already have UDGE credit.
4. How does the range of 1-4 units work?
10/25/04:
Elise will consult with Safterstein before next UCC meeting. Sonntag asked for copy of the chart we developed. Nava will attach draft from Elise to minutes.
11/01/04:
Elise shared Saferstein’s reply to email query:
(1)Safterstein is still working on the course rotation for UCC. If we receive this by the 5th, then we will discuss it on the 8th.
(2)Saferstein approved the list of courses in the three tracks which UCC drafted, with two corrections. UCC recommends adding to catalog copy.
(3)(a) Safterstein assured the committee that the department is already offering numerous sections of 330 and 360, and they will be able to accommodate the demand of the new major. (b) Saferstein assured the committee that 330 and 360 do meet the needs of both GE and major students. These courses would be populated by DD students, COMM majors, SOC majors (for 360), and now Mass Media students. GEC reviewed these last year and was satisfied that they meet the needs of GE students. These courses were designed to get students “up and running” in the COMM major.
11/8/04: Nava received email from Saferstein that he would like to visit UCC to present course distribution. Nava will invite for 11/15.
11/15/04: Saferstein and Katherine Brown attended the meeting for one hour. They presented the three-year course rotation that they prepared in response to UCC’s question about bringing the new major with three tracks on board simultaneously, and the effect this might have on the Communication major. Saferstein and Brown emphasized that the major track in production has been seen as the most attractive by students. Members discussed the presentation, and agreed to review the P-form once again next week. Members agreed that:
(1) Define tracks and media concentrations in catalog copy (move from 21 to 19);
(2) a grid might be helpful to illustrate that each major selects both a track and a “media concentration,” possibly like below (scroll down to bottom on MM forms):
(3) See p. 19 in P-Form. Need to clarify relation of Mass Media to COMM (for students)
UCC also began to discuss the proposed courses. For MASS 302, 452, 456, 457, 462--remove sentence: “In addition to lectures and discussion, students will work in Multimedia labs and studies to create film of video projects that apply course concepts” and replace by the phrase “Includes work in multimedia labs or production studios.” OK by Saferstein, per Barsky.
11/29/02
Change sentence (see above) in MASS 302, 452, 456, 457, 462. UCC=OK
12/13/04:
Elise shared with the committee a draft memo that communicates questions about the proposed major. Some of the questions we have are substantial, even as we acknowledge that the proposers have been working on the curriculum for quite a while and we acknowledge that CAPC approved the proposal and courses. The committee contributed to Elise’s memo. She will share it with UC before sending it to Saferstein and the COMM department.
MASS 303 / Mass Media and Technology
11/29/04: Course, which is designated with MUE, MMP, MOS tracks, is designated C-02? Are COMM 100, Statistics, COM 330 and COMM 360 prerequisites? Recommend insert word “media” before technology in the first sentence.
12/6/04: Insert “media” before technology in the first sentence of the course description. APPROVE
MASS 304 / Media and Commerce HOLD
11/29/04: Which “organizations,” and what kind of “commerce”? Are the items listed as topics the only media?
Regarding how “individuals, groups, enterprises and institutions” use mass media, what above non-profit and governmental organizations (is this commerce too)? LD pre-req?
12/6/04:
Should “May include” or “Includes” replace “Topics of study include:”?
Strike “commercial” from first sentence of the description?
MASS 306 / Media Distribution: National and International
11/29/04: No LD pre-requisite? Title does not seem to match the description. The phrasing “What happens…” should be more rigorous. What does “review” mean? (critically examine, problematize?) Reference to “occupation”: is reference to the historical evolution of the workplace, or is this an appeal to prospective MM majors?
12/06/04:
OK on no pre-requisite. Need response about title not matching description-- the description is not clear. HOLD
MASS 405 / Special Topics in Film
11/29/04: Need to clarify if this course is for all three tracks or just MOE (as it appears on the signed course form).
12/06/04: Saferstein informed that it should include MMP, MOS, MUE (typo on the course form).
/ Special Topics in Film
11/29/04: Need to clarify if this course is for all three tracks or just MOE (as it appears on the signed course form).
12/06/04: Saferstein informed that it should include MMP, MOS, MUE.
HOLD
MASS 406 / Special Topics in Journalism
12/13/04:
UCC discussed how the special topics courses are mostly for all three “tracks.” We see that students in the three tracks will likely be in classes not just with their fellow track-mates. So the distinction of the track experience is in the course projects and the senior project (not so much in the class experience). UCC suggests that instead of the long list of special topics course, the major offer the following shortened list. The special topics format allows for ample opportunity to customize the courses (using a T-form which you would have to do anyway). We also suggest the following clarification to be added to each description. See ** below.
MASS 407 / Special Topics in Mass Media Production
MASS 408 / Special Topics in Media Organizations and Systems
MASS 409 / Special Topics in Media Uses and Effects
MASS 410 / Special Topics in Multimedia
MASS 411 / Special Topics in Music Production and Distribution
MASS 412 / Special Topics in New Media
MASS 414 / Special Topics in Radio
MASS 415 / Special Topics in Television
MASS 416 / Special Topics on Media Producers and Directors
12/13/04:
The description of this special topics course is so detailed, that it does not seem like a special topics course. Does the first sentence in the description address MOS aspects, while the second sentence addresses the MMP aspects? Why would this be variable units?
MASS 424 / Genres and Production Conventions
MASS 452 / Music Industry: Production and Distribution
MASS 456 / Film Style Production
MASS 457 / Studio Video, and Film Production
MASS 462 / Radio

MASS 409 / Special Topics in Media Uses and Effects / MUE
MASS 416 Is this really a topic course? / Special Topics on Media Producers and Directors / MMP, MOS
Course description for MASS 411:
Topics vary by semester. Media may include film, journalism, multimedia, music production and distribution, new media, radio, and television. Depending on their track in the mass media major, students create media projects or conduct media research applying course concepts. (MPP, MUE, MOS)
Note: The proposed renumbering scheme gives some room for replacement topics courses after the original course has “gone through the alphabet.” MASS 405 could be followed up by MASS 406; 407 by 408, 409 by 410, and 411 (which is likely to be the most heavily used of these courses) by 412-415.
UCC PACKET #3 (October 12, 2004)
UCC Review: New Courses
BIOL 160 / Microbiology for Health Sciences—HOLD (part of nursing)Program Changes
PSCI P Form / Minor in Political Science—HOLD: Sonntag will contact Metoyer about the need to clarify if they want the same change to the major. They do. But it is unclear about whether they want it to read 6 or 9 units. We need a draft replacement paragraph of the catalog copy.11/8/04: Shahamiri will distribute replacement P-Form.
1/13/05:
See re-done proposal for the Major in Packet #6. So there are two similar forms, one for the major and one for the minor.
See memo of 11/15 from Barsky to Metoyer for correct language.
(note: minor in Packet #3 and major in Packet #6)

UCC PACKET #4 (Memo from Office of Curriculum and Scheduling 10/25/04)
UCC Review: Program Change
BUS P Form / B.S. in Business Administration—Leu will consult with Eisenbach about reaction to comments from CoAS departments of Economics and Literature. Will CoAS be able to adjust resources to address these new needs? Simultaneously, Barsky will take our concern to BLP.11/8/04:
Regarding the part of the P-form labeled “A. College Wide Changes: 1. Lower Division,” Barsky distributed P-Form to BLP. Also, Leu and Barsky shared response from Eisenbach about demand on ECON (Eisenbach email to be attached to P-form). Lue consulted with Eisenbach and Barsky: business understands that capacity to offer LD Econ is limited. They do not think that the demand will be so high because students prefer to take units at community college; students will be advised to take the classes at a community college. UCC=OK.
Regarding “A. College Wide Changes: 2. Senior Experience,” current total of 8 units. Number will be reduced to 1 unit in the first semester (work with a company to develop project), and 4 units during the spring semester when the project is executed. UCC=OK.
1/13/05:
Barsky updated that BLP has approved these forms.
Regarding “A.2,” Sonntag reported that Senior Experience project creates for library a heavy demand consultations that is very intense and heavy on the library staff. Students do not have the skills they need to do literature review. Elise suggested a tutorial, but the specificity of projects might require something more. Jack will take feedback back to college.
Regarding B. Option Specific Changes, 1. Separating Accounting and Finance into two distinct options (rather than tracks). See spreadsheetattachedto P-Form forAccounting, Finance, HTM
Regarding B. Option Specific Changes 2. Changes to Accounting:
B.3 Finance
Students don’t know about this aspect of the program because of the way that it has been listed by the Chancellor’s office. This will make it more visible to students.

UCC/BLP Review
NURS P Form / B.S. in Nursing11/11/04 email from Barsky, Nava shares with UCC:
In light of the questions that were raised at UCC on Monday, you might want to relate to UCC my opinion that the part of the P-form that should be the focus of the UCC review can be found on pages 5-30 (using the page numbers in the footer of the source documentation, which works out to pages 7/146 - 32/146 in the pdf-file -- with the difference in page numbers being the two pages for the P-form signature sheet).
You might want to also pass along the following "map" of the pdf-file.
- The proposal itself really ends on page 43/146.
- Appendix A (Results of the Survey of Curricular Importance and Clinical Practice Expectations of Essential Competencies of New BSN Graduate (sic)) [44/146 - 48/146] and (I guess this is still part of Appendix A) a long report, The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for the Professional Nursing Practice, which has its own appendices [49/146 - 98/146]
- Appendix B (Excerpts From the California State Board of Nursing (BRN) Nurse Practice Act Title 16) [99/146 - 101/146]
- Appendix C (Memorandum on Recommendations for Action from Year Two of the Nursing Alignment from CSU Nursing Alignment Task Force to Chancellor Reed and Vice Chancellor Spence) [102/146 - 107/146]
- Appendix D (Baccalaureate and Higher Degree Programs in Nursing in the San Diego Region (2003-04)) [108/146 - 109/146]
- Appendix E (Associate Degree Programs in the San Diego Region (2003-04)) [110/146 - 111/146]

- Appendix G (California Association of Colleges of Nursing Position Statement: The Baccalaureate in Nursing as Minimal Preparation for Professional Practice) [114/146 - 117/146]
- Appendix H (Reconstruction of the 2nd Floor Space of the San Marcos Ambulatory Care Center SMACC; Proposed Nursing Laboratory Space, Faculty Offices and Temporary Office Space for the College of Health and Human Services) [118/146 -119/146]
