CONSENSUS was reached to accept as first reading the revised Biotechnology Lab Specialist planning sheets to be in effect Fall 2013.
23. FIRST READING ART 105 Multicultural Studies through the Visual Arts
Kathie Hunt presented the first reading of this new course. She explained the number 105 is being used because they want to keep a certain sequence in ART and it matches Multicultural Studies 105 class. They took an old course and bumped it to 106 and apprehended the 105 number. It is a new class, not a revised class. Kathie will be taking care of having the 106 class deleted.
This multicultural class was created to have as its context visual imagery. Many times an art student’s art is created as their personal expression without thinking of the concepts of stereotyping, oppression and power. Faculty have been doing their best to deal with these kinds of things. Kathie taught MCU for six years and Art Appreciation. She developed this class after former VPASA John Backes gave her the go ahead. Kathie researched this field and sat through Brooke Zimmers CMST 203 class.
The Multicultural Understanding Core Course Advisors have approved ART 105 for satisfying the Multicultural Understanding general education requirement. The committee noted that creating this course from the ground up is impressive.
Kathie went on to explain the class capacity is slightly lower than other MCU classes because this will include museum trips for example. ART 105 also has a possibility of being an online class because there are so many wonderful art databases that could be set up as an art museum you go through. Don Christensen noted it is great to have more options now for the MCU core requirement. Kathie said because this is a new class they have to put it trough the transfer process so they don’t know yet how it will transfer.
CONSENSUS was reached to accept as first reading the new course ART 105 to be in effect Fall 2013. Consensus was further reached to accept for first reading the ART 105 as a MCU general education course.
24. Criteria for Math/Science Distribution.
