HISTORY Administration/Humanities Building (ADM), Room 147, (907) 786-1539 www.uaa.alaska.edu/history History as a subject in its broadest sense is all that human beings have thought and done. Knowledge of history is the principal means by which humans discover and preserve their collective identity, for through such knowledge, we gain a clear view of our limitations, and a glimpse of our potential. History as an intellectual discipline examines and interprets the documentary records of human activity, records that are often fragmentary and incomplete. As a discipline, history is both a science and an art; it requires an intricate balance of scientific technique and creative imagination to weave fragments of evidence into an intelligent account of human experience.

Introduction to Behavioral Economics introduces students to empirical social science methods by surveying these findings, and places an emphasis on their practical implications for improving decision making and public policy. The course level is appropriate given the lack of prerequisites. This course meets the standards of a GER course.

V. Course Level Justification Recent research findings at the intersection of psychology and economics have helped broaden our conception of “economic man” and shed new light on puzzling economic outcomes. Introduction to Behavioral Economics introduces students to empirical social science methods by surveying these findings, and places an emphasis on their practical implications for improving decision making and public policy. The course level is appropriate given the lack of prerequisites. This course meets the standards of a GER course.

November 2, 2009 TO: Curriculum Committees RE: Changes in the English Department’s Minor in Creative Writing and Literary Art OVERVIEW OF CHANGES The English Department became the home of the undergraduate minor in Creative Writing and Literary Arts (CWLA) in Fall 2007 when the graduate program in CWLA was altered to a low-residency format. It had been taught primarily by adjunct faculty for some time and that continued under English Department supervision, with fluctuating enrollments, for the past two years. The aims of the present revision are 1) to integrate the program more fully into the department, 2) to make the structure of the program itself more clearly sequential and thus to align it better with undergraduate CW programs elsewhere, and 3) to update curriculum. We have eliminated altogether the Minor with Distinction, Creative Writing and Literary Arts, as it was not being selected by students nor did the department have full-time faculty available to direct theses. The changes are as follows: Current Program Proposed Program 1. Complete 12 credits from the following list of

undergraduate writing workshops and magazine production course offerings.

CWLA A259 Short Format Introduction to Note that at least 6 credits must be upper division:

Creative Writing (1) CWLA A260 Introduction to Creative Writing (3) CWLA A261 Art/Literary Magazine Production (3) CWLA A352 Undergraduate Writer’s Workshop: Poetry (3) CWLA A362 Undergraduate Writer’s Workshop: Fiction (3) CWLA A372 Undergraduate Writer’s Workshop: Nonfiction (3)

CWLA A461 Writing and Gender (3) 2. Complete 6 credits from the following:

CWLA A490 The Writer’s Craft (3)

3. A total of 18 credits is required for the minor.

1. CWLA A260 Introduction to Creative Writing: Multiple Forms (3) 3 2. One of the following: 3 CWLA A352 Writers’ Workshop: Poetry (3) CWLA A362 Writers’ Workshop: Fiction (3) CWLA A372 Writers’ Workshop: Narrative Non-Fiction (3) CWLA A382 Writers’ Workshop: Drama and Screenwriting (3) 3. One of the following: 3 ENGL A351 Poetry (3) ENGL A361 The Novel (3) ENGL A363 Short Story (3) ENGL A371 Narrative Nonfiction (3) ENGL A381 Drama (3) ENGL A383 Film Interpretation (3) 4. One 300- or 400-level literature course 3 5. One of the following: 3 CWLA A452 Advanced Writers’ Workshop: Poetry (3) CWLA A462 Advanced Writers’ Workshop: Fiction (3) CWLA A472 Advanced Writers’ Workshop: Narrative Nonfiction (3) CWLA A482 Advanced Writers’ Workshop: Drama and Screenwriting (3) 6. One 300- or 400-level workshop (in a different genre) or one of the following 3 CWLA A259 Short Format Introduction to

26

Creative Writing (1-3) repeatable with changes of subtitle CWLA A260 Introduction to Creative Writing

(3-6) repeatable once ENGL A495 Internship in Professional Writing (1-3) 7. A total of 18 credits is required for the minor.

The proposed program revision eliminates two 400-level courses for which the English Department has no full-time faculty, replacing them with English genre courses related to the minor. It also adds advanced instead of multiply repeatable workshop courses at the same level so that students may study in greater depth. The English Department will continue to use adjunct faculty to cover many courses in the CWLA minor, but the added English courses form part of department faculty workloads, and facilitate oversight of the minor. Sincerely, Judith Moore Aisha Barnes Suzanne Forster Initiating Faculty on behalf of the English Department

The revisions have been made adhering to the requests of the College of Arts & Sciences Curriculum Committee proposed during two readings in Fall Semester 2009.

• FREN A301-302 • GER A301-302 • JPN A301-302 • RUSS A301-302 • SPAN A301-302

Since the Department of Languages is proposing GER Status for the courses listed above, they have been updated according to the Humanities/Languages Template established by the UAA General Education Requirement Committee during the academic year 2006-07. Thank you for your attention in this matter. I kindly note for those committees reviewing at the next level, that these course action requests were originally submitted in Spring 2009, but were not able to be reviewed by the CAS Curriculum Committee until Fall 2009. Since the forms changed July 1, 2009 (i.e. post-submission), the new document format was waived in this case and the former honored.

B. Student Outcomes. The students will:

1) Demonstrate the geochemical differentiation of the Earth using physical and chemical principles, and diagram the distribution of chemical elements in rocks of the Earth.

2) Diagram the periodic properties of the elements and integrate the principles of atomic structure with chemical bonding, crystal structure and elemental substitution in minerals.

3) Develop a thorough knowledge of equilibrium geochemistry and apply it to processes such as solubility, weathering, and effects of redox in aqueous environments,

117

4) Derive the thermodynamic equations for mineral stability and construct mineral stability/solubility diagrams and apply the results to real world geologic situations.

5) Derive the Law of Radioactivity and apply it to the decay of radioactive elements used to solve geologic problems and generate geochronometry equations and graphical displays for age determination.

6) Develop both oral and written communication skills by giving lectures on various topics in geochemistry and writing interpretations of geochemical applications to geology.

IV. Course Evaluation

The course will assess each student's ability to communicate effectively in both the written and oral formats through individual and group projects and through written synthesis of the professional literature. Students will be required to utilize a variety of peer-reviewed resources to complete their projects. The assignments will require quantitative and critical thinking skills to solve geochemistry problems relevant to the earth and climate sciences as well as ecological sciences. The outcomes will be evaluated using problem sets, exams, interactive class exercises, class discussions, and each student will give a lecture on a topic of geochemistry and its relevance to modern society as their final exam. V. Course Level Justification

This is a 300-level course because it requires a 200-level prerequisite in geological sciences as well as a full year of inorganic chemistry. In addition, this course provides students with content and problem solving skills that utilize chemistry and geologic concepts learned in other courses in the geological sciences and chemistry curriculum. Students are expected to analyze geochemical data and utilize it for problem solving applications in geology, chemistry and other sciences.

Additionally, as an interdisciplinary capstone course it incorporates both geological sciences and chemistry. Enables students to apply background skills of GER basic college level courses (Tier 1) with geology and chemistry disciplinary areas (Tier 2). This course is part of the geological sciences curriculum, requires prerequisites from 2 different disciplines, and requires the students to read and analyze the professional literature. VI.

Courses involving computer instruction, as well as many other business school courses, are supported by seven computerized classrooms and state-of-the-art open laboratory facilities. These computer classrooms and labs provide students with hands-on learning experiences using the latest Intel workstations supported by state-of-the-art network servers. Our computer environment features several state-of-the-art computer languages, including 4GL, query, and object oriented languages. College of Business and Public Policy students have the opportunity to use the computer facilities to help them with their coursework. Laboratories include special business presentation facilities and an experimental multimedia and a decision-support room. Computer courses are taught using both structured instructor-led and self-guided tutorial approaches in the traditional classroom as well as online discussions.

COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS (BUSINESS COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS, MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS) The College of Business and Public Policy prepares students for computer careers in computer programming and systems design, network administration and database administration through our Associate of Applied Science in Business Computer Information Systems (BCIS). Students are prepared for computer careers in systems analysis and design, web design, end-user computing, managing information systems, databases and networks, and associated occupations through the Management Information Systems (MIS) major in the Bachelor of Business Administration. Both degrees are based on the Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP) model curriculum and are linked so that the diligent student can move from the two-year to four-year degree without losing credits. Both degrees emphasize using computers within business and public sector settings through hands-on teaching methods. The student is prepared for the technical and security aspects of the computer environment as well as the techniques and issues of managing information resources through the introduction of the theories followed by hands-on experience with the associated application. Computer career education in the College of Business and Public Policy is enhanced by work and internship opportunities both within our own laboratories and with business and government facilities.

LOGISTICS Edward & Cathryn Rasmuson Hall (RH) Room 309, (907) 786-4100 www.cbpp.uaa.alaska.edu The Logistics Department offers four undergraduate programs: the Occupational Endorsement Certificate in Logistics and Supply Chain Operations, the Undergraduate Certificate in Logistics and Supply Chain Operations, the Associate of Applied Science in Logistics and Supply Chain Operations, and a major in Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management for the Bachelor of Business Administration. Logistics refers to the complex systems of the movement of material, component parts, and information within a business firm; and the distribution of final products to customers. Logistics and supply chain management are an essential function that adds value to the final product. The goal of logistics and supply chain management is timely delivery, competitive pricing, mobility and flexibility, together with innovative transportation services. Today competitive advantages in global markets exceed the realm of manufacturing. Companies that master information technology and logistics are setting global standards for overall supply chain performance. Firms with a virtual worldwide logistics system view that carries out dynamic and continuous distribution are gaining the competitive edge. Every organization is engaged in logistics if it has a purchasing function and/or a delivery process. Prospective employers include business firms, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies. Anchorage and Alaska are strategically located relative to the great markets of Europe, Asia, and the mainland United States. More freight in tonnage passes through the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport on a daily basis than in any other airport in the United States. Truck and marine transportation is crucial to supplying Alaska with goods. The state owns a railroad, and pipelines move oil and other fuels. The military establishment of Alaska is located here largely because of the logistical advantages obtained from Alaska's strategic location. Effective development of the logistics sector depends on the availability of a labor force that understands and can manage logistics systems.

OCCUPATIONAL ENDORSEMENT CERTIFICATE, LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN OPERATIONS The Occupational Endorsement Certificate in Logistics and Supply Chain Operations, which is awarded by the Logistics Department, is designed to provide a comprehensive foundation for students who want to initiate or develop a career path in logistics and supply chain operations without having to commit to lengthier educational programs. All 15 credits earned toward the occupational endorsement certificate are transferable to both the Undergraduate Certificate in Logistics and Supply Chain Operations and the Associate of Applied Science degree in Logistics and Supply Chain Operations.

155

At the completion of an Occupational Endorsement Certificate in Logistics and Supply Chain Operations, students are able to demonstrate:

1. Proficiency in adapting to a variety of logistics employment settings with an understanding of the common terminology, equipment, regulations, and information systems used.

COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS Edward & Cathryn Rasmuson Hall (RH), Room 309, (907) 786-4100 www.cbpp.uaa.alaska.edu The Computer Information Systems Department provides educational opportunities in computer information systems through degree programs, courses for all students, and career-enrichment opportunities. Courses involving computer instruction, as well as many other business school courses, are supported by seven computerized classrooms and state-of-the-art open laboratory facilities. These computer classrooms and labs provide students with hands-on learning experiences using the latest Intel workstations supported by state-of-the-art network servers. Our computer environment features several state-of-the-art computer languages, including 4GL, query, and object oriented languages. College of Business and Public Policy students have the opportunity to use the computer facilities to help them with their coursework. Laboratories include special business presentation facilities and an experimental multimedia and a decision-support room. Computer courses are taught using both structured instructor-led and self-guided tutorial approaches in the traditional classroom as well as online discussions.

COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS (BUSINESS COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS, MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS) The College of Business and Public Policy prepares students for computer careers in computer programming and systems design, network administration and database administration through our Associate of Applied Science in Business Computer Information Systems (BCIS). Students are prepared for computer careers in systems analysis and design, web design, end-user computing, managing information systems, databases and networks, and associated occupations through the Management Information Systems (MIS) major in the Bachelor of Business Administration. Both degrees are based on the Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP) model curriculum and are linked so that the diligent student can move from the two-year to four-year degree without losing credits. Both degrees emphasize using computers within business and public sector settings through hands-on teaching methods. The student is prepared for the technical and security aspects of the computer environment as well as the techniques and issues of managing information resources through the introduction of the theories followed by hands-on experience with the associated application. Computer career education in the College of Business and Public Policy is enhanced by work and internship opportunities both within our own laboratories and with business and government facilities.

LOGISTICS Edward & Cathryn Rasmuson Hall (RH) Room 309, (907) 786-4100 www.cbpp.uaa.alaska.edu The Logistics Department offers four undergraduate programs: the Occupational Endorsement Certificate in Logistics and Supply Chain Operations, the Undergraduate Certificate in Logistics and Supply Chain Operations, the Associate of Applied Science in Logistics and Supply Chain Operations, and a major in Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management for the Bachelor of Business Administration. Logistics refers to the complex systems of the movement of material, component parts, and information within a business firm; and the distribution of final products to customers. Logistics and supply chain management are an essential function that adds value to the final product. The goal of logistics and supply chain management is timely delivery, competitive pricing, mobility and flexibility, together with innovative transportation services. Today competitive advantages in global markets exceed the realm of manufacturing. Companies that master information technology and logistics are setting global standards for overall supply chain performance. Firms with a virtual worldwide logistics system view that carries out dynamic and continuous distribution are gaining the competitive edge. Every organization is engaged in logistics if it has a purchasing function and/or a delivery process. Prospective employers include business firms, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies. Anchorage and Alaska are strategically located relative to the great markets of Europe, Asia, and the mainland United States. More freight in tonnage passes through the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport on a daily basis than in any other airport in the United States. Truck and marine transportation is crucial to supplying Alaska with goods. The state owns a railroad, and pipelines move oil and other fuels. The military establishment of Alaska is located here largely because of the logistical advantages obtained from Alaska's strategic location. Effective development of the logistics sector depends on the availability of a labor force that understands and can manage logistics systems.

OCCUPATIONAL ENDORSEMENT CERTIFICATE, LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN OPERATIONS

Approved by the UAA Faculty Senate, November 6, 2009 INCOMPLETE GRADE An incomplete grade (I) is assigned only at the discretion of the instructor. It is used to indicate that a student has made satisfactory progress in the majority of the work in a course, but for unavoidable absences or other conditions beyond the control of the student, has not been able to complete the course. Students assigned an incomplete grade are not entitled to complete the remaining coursework within the classroom/lab, to any additional instruction; nor may they participate in the class/lab during a future semester without re-registering, paying tuition, and retaking the course. An Incomplete Grade Contract form between the student and the faculty member stipulating the assignment(s) required to finish the course and the timeframe for submission is required and should be filed with the department or dean’s office when an Incomplete grade is assigned. Coursework must be completed by the date specified in the contract, not to exceed one year. Upon completion of the required course work, the faculty member must submit a Change of Grade form to the Office of the Registrar. If coursework is not completed by the contract deadline and the faculty member does not submit a Change of Grade form at that time, the Incomplete will become a permanent grade. The student has until the last day of class of the first full semester following the end of the contract to resolve any grading discrepancies. NO BASIS GRADE (NB) A No Basis (NB) grade may be used when the student has not attended or if there is insufficient student progress and/or attendance for evaluation to occur. No credit is awarded, nor is NB calculated in the GPA. This is a permanent grade and may not be used to substitute for the incomplete grade. It cannot be removed later by completing outstanding work. A course receiving a NB grade will not be evaluated as a retaken course for academic record purposes. Faculty must submit a last date of attendance in conjunction with this grade.

Question Responses Do you (as a faculty) use the incomplete grade?

Yes (18) No (2)

Do you use an Incomplete Grade Form? Yes (15) No (3) Do you (or your administrative assistant) insure the student signs the form?

Faculty (11) Admin. (1) Student (2) No one signs (3)

How is the due date for the student completing the required action tracked in your department? Is this done by the faculty member, an administrative assistant, or someone else, or some other automated method? If the due date is not tracked, please state that answer.

Not tracked as far as I know. --------------------- I typically issue 6 months or one year to complete the course. I don’t track whether students complete the course. Serious students—those enrolled in a program--typically follow up and complete the course. --------------------- I TRACK THE INCOMPLETE GRADES (BY FACULTY MEMBER) --------------------- Not tracked --------------------- I wait for the student to remind me. --------------------- Most, but not all of the time (which makes it a binary No). Signed in cases where the student is available. Not signed if the student received the incomplete due to sudden event that makes it impossible to do so (grave illness, travel for family emergency etc).

Tracked by SIO at the College level. Most incompletes are short term, and easy to track mentally. The full year ones are few and tracked informally. --------------------- I do. I track all of my own Incomplete grade contracts. I explain to students that if they do not complete the remaining contracted items by the agreed upon date, I will change their course grade to the letter grade he/she earned for the course. (I will admit that a few may have slipped through the cracks over the past 9 years where a summer break was involved. This is why I do everything I can to have students complete their work in the very next semester.)

189

Please provide a description of your views for using or not using the incomplete grade. If you don’t know what this is, or how to use this specific grade, please state so as well. The following are unabridged replies from the faculty each one separated by a dashed line: I use the incomplete when the student has finished a significant proportion of the work but for some reason out of their control they cannot complete a particular assignment. --------------------- I think the I grade is very useful for dealing with situations either not envisioned or anticipatable by the instructor when designing the course or significant personal issues in the student’s life. It is, however, the student’s primary responsibility to track the due dates.

---------------------

I have no problem with Is becoming Fs in one year.

I only give an incomplete grade when a student has a verifiable medical or compelling personal reason for not completing a class. The student may only complete the remaining portion of the class, and grades earned to that point will continue. The course must be completed within one year. --------------------- INCOMPLETES ARE ONLY GIVEN IN SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES - E.G. WHEN A STUDENT IS UNABLE TO COMPLETE A COURSE PAPER. I'VE GIVEN 2 INCOMPLETE GRADES IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

--------------------- Useful tool, as long as it is used properly. It would not be fair to students with legitimate situations to have them retake the whole course if incomplete grades were not available. --------------------- Sometimes students have events in their lives that preclude them from completing a class as planned. An incomplete gives the student a chance to complete the class. In many situations to do other that allow an incomplete would be punitive and add to what already is a very stressful situation. --------------------- Should be reserved for rare situations where circumstances beyond the student’s control necessitate an extension of time. Student should have at least a “C” average to warrant consideration for an incomplete. Incompletes should not be used to allow a student to bypass receiving a failing grade. Time extension should be for more than one year. “I” grade should be changed automatically to “F” after a year if change of grade form is not submitted by faculty. --------------------- I believe in using the Incomplete grade only for extreme situations that are beyond the control of the student. I probably only give one or two Incompletes per academic year on average. I'm very strict on offering them...meaning that the student must have completed 75% of the course work as of the date of the request and they must have at least a C average on that work. This is stated in my course syllabi. Most students requesting an Incomplete have some pretty serious things going on (death of a family member, illness of family member or the student, DUI arrest w/ jail time, other legal issues, abuse, depression, etc.) My students know that they must provide documentation or provide other convincing evidence of the situation. I have denied Incompletes when I have contacted other current faculty members and discovered that students are lying to me. Incompletes are very useful for the students who really need them. I think it would be unfair in these difficult economic times to require a student to pay additional money for a course he/she was unable to complete due to circumstances mostly out of his/her control. By the way...I thought there was a standard form...it is the one I have always used. --------------------- It’s necessary. I am astonished that there are multiple forms used. There should be an automated system that converts I to F after one year. Then it is the student’s responsibility to track it and complete it. How can faculty be guaranteed to track compliance when, for example, faculty leave or go on sabbatical during the incomplete period? --------------------- I appreciate having the option to grant incomplete grades to worthy students. As per UAA policy, students must hold a C in the course to be granted the option. Only in the most extreme circumstances, have I allowed students to receive an incomplete if they have not maintained a C.

Years ago, the incomplete became an F if the student didn’t complete the course within the agreed upon contract period. I wasn’t pleased when that policy was changed. I think that students who had to take incompletes because of health and other personal issues, should be able get extensions. However, there should be some penalty for not completing the course contingent on their not meeting the terms of the contract. --------------------- I like to use the grade form. But, I rarely care to track what does on afterwards. If the student does not care, then why should I care? Let the grade sit as an I forever.

--------------------- I strongly disagree with use of incomplete grade. Instructor should not be given the right to assign incomplete grade to students. If one student wants to receive an incomplete grade, he/she should go to department or college with sufficient supporting documents. --------------------- I am relatively new and have not needed to issue an incomplete. However, I like having the option and would use it under special circumstances (such as the death of a close relative at the end of term). --------------------- A very frank answer to my view of the Incomplete Grade is that probably many faculty (and students) abuses the "privilege" of "earning" an Incomplete Grade. As such, the grade is devalued, in my opinion. However, as the Syllabus for my course clearly states that "Very rarely" does a student qualify for an Incomplete Grade, and thus, Incompletes rarely given, I do believe there are extenuating circumstances that occur to prevent a student from completing coursework. In this situation (and if the student has completed at least 75% of coursework, had at least a C grade to date, and that the DROP date is no longer an option), then I will consider giving an "Inc." I meet with student to discuss requirements for completion and get signature on form if possible. I DO NOT submit an Incomplete Grade for any student without coordination, communication, and agreement. A side note -- which you did not ask for: In my experience, I've felt forced to give an Inc grade because I am very opposed to giving a student an F grade when circumstances were beyond his/her control. What I'd much rather be allowed to do is submit something like an NB grade (no basis) or some other type of grade that has no effect on student transcript, but yet indicates student just did not complete sufficient coursework to earn academic credit. I suppose UAB has also been discussing the possibility of a student's Inc grade turning into a permanent F (failing) grade when not completed within the one-year deadline. That may or may not have an influence on the tremendous numbers of Inc grades that faculty give (indiscreetly and without merit) ... just another side note from me. This is a lot of work-- hope something good comes from all our responses on this important topic. --------------------- However, my understanding of the Incomplete Grade Form is not clear since we started submitting grades online. In my opinion, the incomplete grade process has a place within our system. To be effective, the system must provide the faculty some flexibility. I have seen a couple of draft statements, attributed to the Registrar that caused me concern in that faculty flexibility appealed to be limited. For example, in one of my courses I have a required, graded team presentation. For valid reasons, a student was not able to participate as planned with his/her team. How does a student make up the team presentation without further class participation? The only solution I know is to give such students an incomplete grade and require them to rejoin the class the following

192

semester to participate as a team member. --------------------- I use this grade option very rarely--- and only when there is a compelling reason to give the student some extra time beyond the end of the semester to complete coursework (and I make the student aware that the work may have to be completed earlier than the one year maximum). When reasons are not compelling I would perform an instructor-initiated withdrawal or simply assign the low grade likely to occur. --------------------- I have restricted use to cases of illness or accident. --------------------- I think it is important to have the option for "extenuating circumstances" that can be verified

- medical conditions

such as:

- got a job that prevented them from attending class - had to leave town for an extended period (usually work related). I strongly believe that the decision to give an Incomplete should be at the discretion of the instructor, as long as the completion of the work can be accomplished with that same instructor. If it cannot, then the issuing instructor should coordinate with another instructor to obtain his or her concurrence. That can often be difficult or impossible with adjuncts. --------------------- I don't know exactly when Incomplete Grades could be used. --------------------- As per UAA catalog, I use “I” when a student completes most of the course with a passing grade but presents a doctor’s note or other documentation that she was unable to complete all the requirements due to circumstances beyond her control. ---------------------
