FLA 095 Conversation Management for Non-Native Speakers of English
FLA 096 Improving Pronunciation for Non-Native Speakers of English
Time did not permit a complete review of these two courses, and they will be placed onto the next agenda. One comment was made to have more extensive bibliographies included in both courses. Peggy will inform the department of this.

MIS 200 Introduction to MIS (continuation of previous NMC discussion)
Robert Muller presented the course to the committee. The issue of whether this course really is a 200-level or a 100-level course was discussed, as this course is not part of major and represents a general introduction to the field of MIS.

Jon B. made the motion to approve; Lynn K. seconded.

7 - 1 - 0 (APPROVED)

MIS 400 Global Information Systems
A more extensive bibliography is needed that includes journal articles, conference proceedings or any other material used as the foundation for the development of this course. Several minor changes were also recommended in the catalogue description (include to includes, country-by-country rather than multi-country) and on the cover sheet (3 contact hours; specify the program in which this is an elective)

Jon B. made the motion to approve; George P. seconded.

8 - 0 - 0 (APPROVED)

HIS 235 The Holocaust
Troy Paddock presented the course to the committee. Minor changes were recommended to the catalogue description. The bibliography needs to be in a format that identifies sources of the citations.

Jon B. made the motion to approve; George P. seconded.
