5. Hebrew 3350 (new course; requesting GE VPA)
· Request to seek concurrences from
o Dept of English (they offer an undergraduate minor in popular culture and teach courses in comics studies)
o Dept of Comparative Studies (they offer courses and a major in religious studies).
· If the course can count in one of the undergraduate majors offered by NELC (even as an elective), please provide updated curriculum map(s) of the major(s).
· P. 5 of syllabus: D- is not a grade at OSU. Request to adjust the grading scale.
· P. 6: The disability statement is outdated. Request to use the one recommended by SLDS (with accurate physical address): http://slds.osu.edu/faculty-staff/syllabus-statement/
· GE assessment plan also includes assessment of course goals. Recommendation to fully roll the course goals assessment information under the GE ELOs assessment information when implementing the assessment plan and eventually writing a GE assessment report. Indeed, the Assessment Panel will solely be interested in GE ELO assessment & will not want to see discrete information/data for the various course goals.
· Knapp, Savage, unanimously approved with contingencies (in bold above) and one recommendation (in italics above)
