Scott reviewed the work that has been done on the Intensive Learning Assessment Plan including the matrix and sample questions (all previously circulated). The Committee recommended some minor changes with regard to the wording of objectives. Members discussed and agreed that the following mechanisms would be used this year: (1) a focus group of participating students in May 2000 (immediately after break), (2) a survey of students and faculty on campus in May (at the end of the May term), (3) a survey of students and faculty off campus in May (at the end of the travel), and (4) continued analysis of course syllabi and materials. Scott, Dan, and Greg will draft these survey instruments for committee review.

Gail reviewed work on CCLS. The Task Force will meet on 3/2 to begin work on identifying program changes for year 2, and an open forum will be held on 3/16 for the same purpose. The Task Force will compile a list of intended changes and bring to the Strategic Study Committee later in the semester. Dan distributed copies of the Fall CCLS Evaluation Report (great work!).

The meeting ended at 12:30 p.m.
