1. Copies of the Annual Report of the ILG and Director were distributed to members. Included in this document are final drafts of all the materials we published last year, to be used for reference during this academic year.
2. We will be publishing our minutes on the College Web page. Greg Weiss will be consulted about this in the next few days.
3. Over the summer the Director took several actions that were not approved by members of the group.
a) The Course Proposal form was modified, so that the second line reads TO: INTENSIVE LEARNING GROUP & CURRICULUM COMMITTEE, and
b) also to include a line for the department chair's signature;
c) Paragraphs from the fall and spring ILG documents were condensed and reordered so that they could be used as an attachment to the Course Proposal Form, as a help and a guide to faculty developing courses.
Copies of these materials are provided for each member in the packet that was distributed.
4. The question of student membership on the ILG was discussed. Six candidates have been recommended by faculty members; we agreed that Hardwig would interview them to determine their interest and availability. We will try to appoint at least one student member, and if two candidates are willing and suitable, we will appoint two. Service on the group should count for Activity credit for CCLS.
5. We discussed the timetable for events this fall, and the first three of the May course proposals were distributed. We will discuss these in alphabetical order at our next meeting: Au, Long, and Rubongoya/Saunders.
6. At our Tuesday meeting, we will also take another look at the suggested course numbering mechanism, and if we can, forward it to Curriculum Committee for action at the September faculty meeting.
7. After the catalog course numbering system and the May 2000 courses have been approved and sent on to Curriculum Committee, we will address the various policy issues and make recommendations to the appropriate committees, based on the survey and faculty forums last spring.
Our next meeting takes place on Tuesday, Sep 14 at 11:30 AM in Dean's Conference Room, Ad Bldg. This will be the standing meeting time, and we should plan for meeting on Sep 21 and Sep 28 as well, at that time.
