Committee Review Objectives
The committee has several goals when reviewing New Course Proposal forms:
- Understand the course’s fit within existing curriculum
- Ensure the details regarding course content are clearly articulated and discernible to a college-level reading audience
- Monitor overall capacity across and throughout the curriculum and avoid having “too many” planned seats in any level or area
- A review of any incremental resources requested as a component of running the new course
After initial review of a course proposal the committee may have feedback and/or questions for the proposing faculty member or department. These typically regard expansions on or changes to the submitted proposal that would facilitate the course’s approval.
