For Approval by CUE on 4

CUE called to order at 4:04 pm by Jeff Grimm, standing in for Matt Miller and Carmen Werder who are attending a conference.

CUE minutes of 1/12/2012 had already been approved via email and forwarded to ACC.

MOTION: CUE MOVED (Nick Wonder suggested text of motion) to retain Eng 101 as a prerequisite and drop 30 credits are a prerequisite for COM C courses. Criteria for GUR C-COM needs to be reinstated into the ACC Handbook. (moved by Chris Friday, second by Anu Singh-Cundy). Motion passed unanimously. Wonder had suggested that “A second writing course belongs in CCom with ENG 101 as a prerequisite” is the text that should be added to the catalog.

REVIEW OF COURSES SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL AS GURS: Members divided into pre-arranged teams to discuss their assigned course proposals. Actions follow.

CUE members received e-mail from LeaAnn Martin that the language “200 level and above” will be removed and actual list of courses will be provided. 201 language courses count in BlockB only and this will be spelled out. Courses tabled below are missing competencies and/or categories in the forms. Please provide by next week’s meeting.

§ Posters will be completed this week and will go out all over campus. Print will be enlarged.

§ Roger Anderson: When trying to convince a student to participate – letting them know of exciting opportunities and avoiding trouble. Is there an effort to appeal to fear as well as excitement in getting students to participate?

§ From last quarter we learned: the best message is “Get help with your GURs” - a simple message, basic text.

§ RES Life urged to promote this through John Purdie. 24% increase in number of freshmen, referred from RESLife.

§ Send email to those teaching GURs, particularly next quarter, with an extra thank you for a good job in the past, and increased expectation for attendance (Linda could provide an e-mail list for Spring quarter GUR instructors).

§ Offer an opportunity for early registration – 1 raffle available from the Registrar (possibly).

§ Students will get an early opportunity to figure out what you are going to schedule next quarter.

§ Tina Loudon reported that Viking Advisor will be updated. Language will be put in about GUR competencies.

CUE decided it will hold a meeting next Thursday on February 2, 2012 to complete review of additional courses.

JPN401 TABLED	Is this explicitly an interdisciplinary course? Why is it a 400-level GUR? CUE recommends that JPN 401 not be submitted as a GUR since it appears to be a 400-level major course. However, if you have a rationale for it to be a GUR please provide it. Also, the course never was a B-CGM as the form incorrectly indicates. CUE asked: How many students place directly into JPN401?
