February 1, 2000

The meeting began at 8:30 a.m.

Meetings of the committee this semester will roate between Block 4, Block 9, and Friday at 12:30 p.m. No time during any weekday is free for everyone on the committee.

The tasks for the remainder of the semester:

(1) Conclude work on IL Assessment Plan

(2) Review fall CCLS survey and discuss program refinements to CCLS

(3) Conduct focus groups with students who will be on-campus in the first May term (for suggestions for the May experience) and with staff members (regarding their time concerns during May)

(4) Review all of the CCLS and IL assessment mechanisms

The committee discussed the student-initiated Service Day on February 12th, plans for the upper-class CCLS courses, and efforts to create an on-line registration process for CCLS events.

Scott summarized some of the key suggestions for Charlie Toomajian, the IL consultant. These will be incorporated into the work of the Subcommittee on IL Assessment Mechanisms, the work of the IL Task Force, the work of the IL Implementation Group, and ultimately, the Strategic Study Committee.

The meeting ended at 9:30 a.m.
