Passed unanimously

Signed by Senate Chair Summerhill on

2/13/13

In the past, the Sabbatical Subcommittee Chair and committee members have been established in the Fall semester and confirmed by the Faculty Senate at their first meeting in September. This has meant that the chair and committee has already needed to act on their work prior to them being formally confirmed by the Senate. There is a very slim window of time to perform the work of the committee in the Fall and get their recommendations forwarded on to the President for her final decision. Therefore, the Sabbatical Subcommittee has asked that we make a change to the Senate Bylaws in order to establish the chair of the subcommittee at the end of Spring semester. This change will allow the chair to hit the floor running at the beginning of Fall semester in order to perform the work of the committee.

February 8, 2013 That all instructors, as managers of their classrooms, shall be notified upon a student’s first class attendance of the names of all students that possess a permit to carry a concealed weapon AND that have permission from the President of TMCC to carry the weapon in their classrooms.

general education objectives/outcomes as a method of general education assessment, and brings it forward for approval by the Faculty Senate.


February 8, 2013 To allow faculty to submit a modification of existing student learning outcomes and measures directly to the Assessment and Planning Office.


2/13/13


On February 1, 2013, Dr. Lance Bowen, Interim Associate Dean of Assessment and Planning, presented the following motion, which was approved by the CAP Committee. This item is now being brought before the Faculty Senate for its approval. The concern was that peer review takes too long.

To allow faculty to submit modification of existing student learning outcomes and measures directly to the Assessment Office for approval.

This practice will have many benefits: 1. Faculty can make fast modifications to their

assessment tools in order to respond to results from CARs.

2. Faculty can make modifications to their assessment tools year round, thus eliminating the CAP bottleneck.

3. Evaluation of learning outcomes will follow best practices developed by SLOA.

4. This will remove a burden of tedious work from CAP so that CAP can work on more important subjects.

Many faculty have requested this, as this does not impact the curriculum in the course, just the assessment of the curriculum. Each modification will still go through a faculty-represented approval process.

February 8, 2013 To approve the Skills Certificate Preparation Packet as submitted.

Bouweraerts, and others, Dr. Lance Bowen (interim Associate Dean of the Assessment office) has researched the possibility of TMCC providing certificates of completion to our students for a variety of skills. These certificates would include 4.0 credit classes, no General Education requirements, and take less than one year to complete. The purpose of these certificates is to simply give students the basic skills they want to receive in order to augment their job opportunities. The phlebotomy and CNA nursing programs currently have programs that would work well with a skills certificate. Numerous other institutions are also doing this, providing college credit for a skills certificate in numerous diverse topics. Many people do not want a college degree. They merely want to augment their skills for a job. Because this is not recognized by the Board of Regents, we do not need them to approve a skills certificate. We can potentially begin offering these certificates this coming Fall 2013. Dr. Bowen has taken this document forward to the Catalog Committee, Sharon Wurm (Director of Financial Aid) and the deans for their review. A Skills Certificate Preparation Packet has been prepared and approved by the CAP Committee. The Faculty Senate is now asked to approve this document for use.
