Dear Nick, This is to let you know that BIOL253/253L does not count as a biology elective in the major, nor doesit count as an elective with lab in the minor. That is, it should be excluded from counting as a coursewith lab. It can be used as an Allied Science elective. We are putting an adjustment in CIM systemto this effect. Best, Jason Jason W.

October 15, 2018 Re: Supporting Letter for Prof. David Sarlah Nick Siedentop Curriculum Director Office of Undergraduate Curricula Dear Nick:

The purpose of this letter is to summarize proposed changes to the BS Chemistry (Biochemistry Track) degree requirements. The old requirement that we propose replacing is that these majors must take CHEM 481L. The new proposal is that BS Chemistry, Biochemistry Track majors may use either CHEM 481L or 482L as qualifying courses. The rationale is that either the experimental or computational labs will serve the needs of these majors with equal efficacy. The proposed change was approved by a unanimous vote of the faculty on 10.04.2018.

Please contact me with any questions.

Very truly yours,

Jeffrey Johnson

2 CHEM 395 may be taken for credit as many times as desired butmay be counted for no more than nine hours of total credit towardfulfillment of graduation requirements. Additionally, CHEM 395 maynot be counted more than once as an advanced chemistry electivein the B.S. chemistry degree, B.S. chemistry degree (biochemistrytrack), or B.S. chemistry degree (polymer track). Only one ofCHEM 395 or CHEM 396 may be counted as an advanced chemistryelective. Students must sign up for CHEM 395 and CHEM 396 withinthe first week of classes. CHEM 396 may only be counted as anadvanced chemistry elective with departmental permission.

3 One course must be taken from the following list: BIOC 601,BIOC 650; BIOL 422; CHEM 395; or any two- or three-credit chemistrylecture course numbered 420 or above that is not already required.

Special Opportunities in ChemistryHonors in ChemistryUpon the recommendation of the Department of Chemistry, the B.A. orB.S. degree with a major in chemistry may be awarded with honors inchemistry or highest honors in chemistry.

Highest honors in chemistry is a distinction bestowed on a trulyexceptional student who has excelled in coursework and who hascompleted a research project of considerable depth and significance. Toattain this distinction the candidate must have nominally satisfied thefollowing guidelines:

• B.A. candidates must have achieved a chemistry major grade pointaverage of 3.85 or higher; B.S. candidates, a chemistry major gradepoint average of 3.75 or higher.

• Have completed at least five courses in chemistry numberedCHEM 420 or above. For B.A. candidates one of these may be alaboratory course; for B.S. candidates they must all be lecturecourses.

• Have completed or be about to complete a research project certifiedto be of publishable quality by the research advisor and two facultymembers appointed by the director of undergraduate studies

Honors in chemistry is a distinction bestowed on an outstanding studentwho has demonstrated marked competence in the coursework and whohas completed a research project of considerable merit. To attain thisdistinction the candidate must have nominally satisfied the followingguidelines:

• Have achieved a chemistry major grade point average of 3.40 orhigher

• Have received no grade below B- in junior- or senior-level chemistrycourses

• Have completed at least three lecture courses in chemistry numberedCHEM 420 or above

• Have completed or be about to complete a research project certifiedto be of honors quality by the research advisor and two facultymembers appointed by the vice chair for undergraduate studies

Students who wish to qualify for either of these awards should beginplanning their course programs and research activities in the junior yearso that ample time and effort may be devoted to succeeding in upper-level courses and research.

Departmental InvolvementMajors are encouraged to participate in AXE (chemistry fraternity) andthe undergraduate advisory board.

Laboratory Teaching Internships and AssistantshipsUndergraduates have the opportunity to serve as laboratory teachingassistants for entry-level undergraduate laboratory courses.

Special TopicsSpecial topics not offered through the normal course sequence may bepursued through directed reading and registration in CHEM 396 with theapproval of the supervising faculty member, advisor, and vice chair forundergraduate studies. An approved learning contract is required, andstudents must be registered no later than the end of the second week ofclasses (fall and spring semesters).

Undergraduate AwardsExcellent performances by undergraduates in chemistry are recognizedby the department through the following awards:

• Francis P. Venable Medal: A medallion and cash award are presentedto the two most outstanding graduating seniors majoring inchemistry in honor of Dr. Francis P. Venable, who was chair of thedepartment, president of the University from 1900 to 1914, andpresident of the American Chemical Society.

• Emmett Gladstone Rand Premedical Scholarship: A scholarship ispresented to an exceptionally talented graduating senior intending topursue a career in medicine.

• Jason D. Altom Memorial Award for Undergraduate Research: Thiscash award recognizes research potential of an undergraduatechemistry major.

• J. Thurman Freeze Scholarship: This scholarship serves to fundsummer research between a student’s junior and senior years.

• E.C. Markham Summer Research Fund: The department chairselects the recipient of this award, who will use the salary to performresearch between the junior and senior years.

• Carrie Largent Award for Research Excellence: This award is givenannually to a graduating senior who has excelled in research.

• David L. Stern Scholar: Top students from upper-division laboratorycourses are chosen for this cash award.

• AXE Sophomore Chemist Award: A cash award and certificate arepresented to an outstanding sophomore chemistry major.

• James H. Maguire Memorial Award: This award goes to anoutstanding and academically gifted junior honors student majoringin chemistry.

• Tanya R. Ellison Scholarship: A female, junior or senior B.S. chemistrymajor is selected for this cash award on the basis of character andacademic commitment.

• Hypercube Scholar Award: An outstanding senior majoring inchemistry is given this chemical software package.

Undergraduate ResearchAlmost every undergraduate chemistry major who has undertaken aresearch project has found it to be an exciting and rewarding experience.The reasons are many. One certainly is that it affords an opportunityto make pioneering discoveries at the forefront of science, usinginstrumentation and techniques far more sophisticated than thoseusually encountered in standard laboratory courses.

4 Chemistry Major, B.S.–Biochemistry Track

More than 80 students are involved in undergraduate researchprojects in chemistry each year. Although successful completion ofan undergraduate research project is a requirement for graduationwith honors or highest honors (see above), it is not necessary to be aparticipant in Honors Carolina to undertake a research project.

The usual mechanism for becoming involved in a research project isto register for CHEM 395. This process begins well in advance of apreregistration or registration period with a visit to the Chemistry StudentServices office, where a student may obtain a list of undergraduateresearch opportunities and a form titled Request for Registration inCHEM 395.

Most students begin research during the spring semester of their junioryear and continue throughout their senior year. CHEM 395 and CHEM 396together may be taken for credit as many times as desired but may becounted for no more than nine hours total credit toward graduation ineither the B.A. or B.S. traditional and polymer tracks and for no more thansix hours in the B.S. biochemistry track. In the B.S. curriculum CHEM 395may be counted no more than once as an advanced chemistry elective.

UNC–BESTThe UNC Baccalaureate Education in Science and Teaching (UNC–BEST)Program is a collaboration between the School of Education and theCollege of Arts and Sciences and is designed to allow undergraduatescience majors interested in teaching high school science theopportunity to earn their science degree and obtain licensure as a NorthCarolina high school science teacher in four years. UNC–BEST studentsmeet all the degree requirements for their chemistry degree usingCHEM 410 as one of their upper-level chemistry courses. UNC–BESTstudents also fulfill teaching licensure coursework requirements as wellas many General Education and elective requirements as they completecourses in teaching and learning.

October 15, 2018 Nick Siedentop Curriculum Director for Undergraduate Curricula Office of Undergraduate Education 3010 Steele, CB #3504, Carolina Campus Re: Item for the Administrative Boards of the College of Arts and Sciences and the General College Dear Nick, With this letter, the Department of Computer Science requests approval of a revision to its current degree requirements for the Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science. The change is to include PSYC 210 an alternative course for STOR 155. However, because PSYC 210 is a 4-credit course and carries a PSYC prerequisite, we expect that this option will only be used by PSYC and COMP double majors but it will nonetheless be beneficial for those students. Attached is the letter of support from the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience. The specific wording change that is requested is that the second Additional Requirement be changed from

Sincerely Kevin Jeffay Gillian Cell Professor and Chair

Kevin Jeffay, Ph.D., Chair Diane Pozefsky, Ph.D., Director of Undergraduate Studies Department of Computer Science University of North Carolina Chapel Hill 201 S. Columbia Street Chapel Hill, NC 27599 Dear Dr. Jeffay and Dr. Pozefsky, As Chair of the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, I am writing in support of the suggested curriculum change to the B.A. degree in Computer Science. PSYC 210 is our Statistical Principles of Psychological Research course and is a 4-credit hour class, consisting of three lecture hours and one laboratory hour per week. This course delves into the methodological principles underlying psychological research, descriptive and inferential techniques, and the manner by which they may be employed to design psychological experiments and analyze behavioral data. PSYC 210 requires PSYC 101 “Introduction to Psychology” as a prerequisite and satisfies the general education requirement of quantitative intensive. I am glad to support the Department of Computer Science’s request to allow students to enroll in PSYC 210 as an alternative to STOR 155 “Introduction to Data Models and Inference,” one of the additional requirements for the B.A. in Computer Science. As STOR 155 is a 3-credit hour course, we anticipate that a majority of the students choosing this alternative option will be PSYC and COMP double majors. I believe this will be extremely beneficial for these students and am pleased to support this curriculum change. This change has the full support of the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience. If you need anything else, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely,

Notes on the Suggested Plan of StudyA first formal course in computer programming (such as COMP 110) isa prerequisite for COMP 401. Students with no programming experienceshould begin their program of study with COMP 110. Students whoare unsure if their background preparation enables them to begin theirstudies with COMP 401 are encouraged to consult a departmentaladvisor.

Students who are able to begin with COMP 401 may take it in their firstsemester and either advance the suggested program of study by onesemester (giving themselves an extra free elective in their junior/senioryears) or take another appropriate course such as a first-year seminar.In either case, neither COMP 110 nor a first-year seminar is a requiredcourse in the major.

This plan of study further assumes that students will place out of foreignlanguage 1. If this is not the case, then the student should start withforeign language 1 (and have one fewer free elective in the senior year).

Special Opportunities in ComputerScienceHonors in Computer ScienceStudents are eligible for graduation with honors if they complete thefollowing requirements:

• A cumulative grade point average of 3.3 or better• A grade point average of 3.3 or better from among the set of COMP,

MATH, PHYS, and STOR courses taken to fulfill the graduationrequirements for the major

• Graduation with honors requires the completion of two semestersof research (COMP 691H and COMP 692H). As part of COMP 692H,students must submit a written honors thesis and complete anoral public presentation of the thesis. Graduation with highesthonors in computer science is possible for those students whosehonors project and thesis are judged by a faculty committee to beparticularly distinguished.

Students interested in pursuing honors in computer science areencouraged to contact the director of undergraduate studies.

Experiential EducationWhen arranged in advance with a supervising faculty member, COMP 293can be used to earn credit for appropriate work experience in the summer.COMP 293 satisfies the experiential education requirement. COMP 495and COMP 691H can also be used to satisfy the experiential educationrequirement. Another possibility is through study abroad (see below).

Assistantships and InternshipsIn addition to their classroom experiences, undergraduates may enhancetheir learning experience as research assistants or teaching assistants.Students also can participate in nationally recognized research programsor use the department's facilities to pursue self-directed research with afaculty member.

Work-study students can gain valuable work experience as assistantson the department’s computer services staff. The department alsoencourages students to pursue internship experiences. Carolina’sproximity to Research Triangle Park means that computer science majorshave many internship and postgraduation opportunities available in theirown backyard.

Study AbroadStudy abroad opportunities with priority for computer science studentsare offered through University College London (UCL) and the NationalUniversity of Singapore (NUS) School of Computing.

UCL can accept UNC–Chapel Hill students for either a semester oryearlong exchange. For semester-only programs, UCL recommendsregistering for spring semester rather than fall as it better matches theiracademic calendar. Many courses satisfying the computer science B.A.or B.S. requirements can be completed at UCL. UCL is located in theheart of London and is just a few blocks away from UNC–Chapel Hill’sEuropean Study Center in Winston House.

NUS can accept UNC–Chapel Hill students for fall or spring semester, ora yearlong exchange. This exchange allows Carolina students to enrolldirectly into the NUS School of Computing and choose their courses fromamong the full offering. On a case-by-case basis, students may also beable to take other courses at NUS outside of the School of Computing.Study abroad at NUS is eligible for the Phillips Ambassadors Scholarship.Please see the Phillips Ambassadors Web site (http://phillips.unc.edu)for more information.

Specific course equivalences for both schools are posted on thedepartment’s Web site. Students interested in taking a course not listedshould contact the director of undergraduate studies before registeringfor courses at the school.

Application for both programs is through the University’s Study AbroadOffice. Application to the UCL programs and the NUS fall and yearlongprograms takes place early in the spring of each year. Application for theNUS spring program takes place early in the fall of each year. Applicantsfor exchange participation must have completed at least one year ofstudy at UNC–Chapel Hill and must have declared a computer scienceor precomputer science major. Study abroad satisfies the experientialeducation General Education requirement of the undergraduatecurriculum.

Undergraduate AwardsThe department awards two yearly prizes to computer science majors.In conjunction with SAS Institute, the department annually presentsthe Charles H. Dunham Scholarship. The Dunham scholarship includesa cash award to the student and a summer internship at SAS and isawarded in the spring semester to a student in their junior year. Thedepartment also annually presents the Stephen F. Weiss Award forOutstanding Achievement in Computer Science, which includes a cashprize. The Weiss award is presented to a student in the fall of the senioryear.

Special Opportunities in Global StudiesHonors in Global StudiesHonors study involves the completion of a substantial piece of originalresearch and the formal presentation of the results in an honors thesisand oral defense. Those who successfully complete the program areawarded their B.A. degree with either honors or highest honors in globalstudies. Students who wish to submit a thesis for honors in globalstudies must have at least a 3.3 cumulative grade point average and,under normal circumstances, a 3.5 grade point average in the major andmust enroll in GLBL 691H and GLBL 692H. GLBL 692H may count towardthe major as a theme or area studies course with departmental approval.GLBL 691H will count as elective credit only. Each prospective honorsstudent must submit a two- to three-page prospectus outlining his/herproject in the spring of their junior year. Students accepted into the globalstudies honors program will enroll in GLBL 691H in the fall of their senioryear and GLBL 692H in the spring of their senior year.

Study Abroad (recommended, but optional)Global studies majors are encouraged to gain experiential knowledgeof the countries and thematic concerns they are studying throughparticipation in an approved study abroad program appropriate to theirareas of concentration. Every effort will be made by the curriculum tointegrate study abroad courses into the major. Students must receivecourse approval from the director of undergraduate studies prior to

departure for a program abroad. No credit will be given unless programsare preapproved.

Undergraduate AwardsAll majors in the Curriculum in Global Studies who study abroad areconsidered for two study abroad awards that are presented each year.These funds may be used to defray any expenses associated withstudying abroad.

The Michael L. and Matthew L. Boyatt Award Fund provides severalmeritorious awards each year of no more than $2,500 each. They aredesignated for majors who want to participate in a study abroad programpertinent to their area of concentration within global studies.

The Laura Hudson Richards Fund provides one award of $2,500 each yearto a major in the Curriculum in Global Studies who demonstrates bothacademic excellence and financial need.

October 11, 2018 Nicholas Siedentop [email protected] Curriculum Director Office of Undergraduate Curricula Dear Nick,

We are proposing to add PLAN 101 “Cities and Urban Life” to the minor in Urban Studies and Planning. We wish for the course to replace one of the allowed electives in the minor, joining PLAN 246 and PLAN 247 as required courses. The number of required credit hours will remain 15. PLAN 101 “Cities and Urban Life” is pending approval, with an anticipated catalogue date of fall 2018.

The reason for adding PLAN 101 to the curriculum is to introduce students to basic concepts of cities

before they take courses that are more advanced. PLAN 101 draws from the fields of history, sociology, and geography in order to examine more broadly the city as a subject of study. Much as the discipline of city planning draws from a variety of fields, PLAN 101 offers an interdisciplinary take on cities and will provide students with a better foundation for understanding the practice of city planning when they enter PLAN 246 and PLAN 247.

Concepts covered in PLAN 101 include:

the definition of cities,

historical periods in the history of urbanization,

various forms of urbanization,

major sociological critiques of urbanization since industrialization,

the role of urbanization in the exercise of political power,

the role of urbanization in the development of market economies,

the global and comparative nature of the study of cities,

the role of cities in creating and maintaining social stratification and inequalities,

some of the specific challenges of urban life in the realms of housing, education, transportation, and security.

Student Advising Transition Plan: We will advise students interested in the minor to take PLAN 101 prior to taking PLAN 246 and 247 in order to proceed through the new curriculum with less difficulty and greater learning outcomes. However, we will not require this sequencing so as not to exclude student who wish to initiate the minor later in their undergraduate careers. There is minimal overlap between PLAN 101 and the other required courses in the curriculum, so taking PLAN 101 after taking PLAN 246 or 247 will not be redundant. Students currently in the minor will have the option of completing it under the requirements at the time they were accepted.
