Notification Management Committee Minutes

October 11, 2007

In attendance: Adam Abugri, June Cheng, Nancy Disbrow, Deborah Flynn (co-chair & recorder), Rich Glinka, Sean Grace, Roy Hunter, Kim Laing, Tricia Lin (co-chair), Kathy Mauro

Meeting called to order at 9:40 am

The meeting began with a discussion of course and/or program changes that appear in the catalog without having been reviewed by NMC/UCF. The Committee agreed that a friendly reminder be sent to Provost Williams to ensure that no catalog changes (re courses or programs) are made without the appropriate NMC/UCF paperwork.

Review of Proposals

  • Theatre: Revised course Proposals
        - THR 151 Stagecraft I
        - THR 238 Lighting I
        - THR 252 Technical Drafting for the Theatre
        - THR 296 Technical Theatre Production I
        - THR 310 Playwriting
        - THR 365 Stage Management
        - THR 396 Technical theatre production II

These course proposals were tabled at the last NMC meeting (September 27, 2007) awaiting rationales. As of this date, the NMC still awaits a response to its request. Therefore, these 7 Revised Course Proposals remain on hold.

  • Music: Revised Course Proposal
        - MUS 215 Materials of Music

This Revised Course Proposal for title and course description changes was tabled at the last NMC meeting pending clarification of elective status.

The proposal:

  • changes the title to Guitar Harmony
  • changes the course description to "reflect direct reference to the guitar fingerboard"
  • includes a rational that indicates both a need to revitalize the course and to exploit the talents and interests of those self-taught guitarists most attracted to this course.

The NMC has received written email clarification that the course will be a free elective. A motion to pass pending receipt of a corrected Proposal Form was approved.

Motion to approve Revised Course Proposal:
Motion: Kathy Mauro; Second: Adam Abugri
Motion passed: 10-0-0

  • Foreign Language: New Course Proposal
        - FLA 404 Methods and Materials

This proposal was tabled at the last NMC meeting pending clarification of program credit requirements/changes and where this elective "fits." A Revised Program Proposal will be requested.

Motion:

  • Motion to approve the following Revised Course Proposals:
        - MUS 215


The meeting was adjourned at 10:10 a.m.
