Old Business On-line learning. Erica updated the Committee on a meeting with Justin Sipher and noted that the IRC is committed to rich discussion across the College. Erica and Justin will meet every other week as a means of fostering communication between CEPP and the IRC, but with the understanding that Justin is not a spokesperson for the IRC. Erica is compiling materials for CEPP discussion later in the semester. ASC and Goals for Student Learning and Development. Members who attended last weeks ASC meeting, plus an additional meeting with Sarah Goodwin and Beau Breslin, reported on the new timeline for discussion of the Goals. Erica will re-distribute and briefly re-introduce the Goals at the Friday faculty meeting. There will be multiple opportunities for discussion in October, both in open fora and online; a motion and rationale will be presented at the November faculty meeting; and a vote on endorsement will take place in December. Students will discuss the Goals in Academic Council. There was discussion of whether formal endorsement should be sought from CC and IPPC. It was noted that, while Skidmore is required by Middle States to have learning goals, and a failure to formulate goals would be considered a deficiency in our upcoming review, the goals themselves must be generated by the faculty, not the administration. New Business ACOP Junior Year in London Program changes. The Committee reviewed proposed changes that will increase the number of partner institutions for Spring programs in London from three to seven and thereby create more learning opportunities for students across the disciplines, especially at the upper levels. Direct administration by Skidmore will save costs. It was noted that there does not seem to be sufficient student interest in a Fall program. A motion will be presented at the November faculty meeting for a vote in December; implementation is anticipated for Spring 2011. Grade Appeal Policy. The Committee reviewed a revised preamble that extends the policy to a final failing grade, other than F, that prevents a student from graduating or progressing in a major or minor. After some discussion, it was determined that the preamble would not specify that the major or minor must be declared. There was also discussion about what is meant by grading criteria and how faculty should be expected to articulate them. Not all faculty calculate final grades using percentages; many include final grading procedures on syllabi but explain grading criteria for individual assignments either verbally or in separate documents. Because this policy will be voted on by faculty and will become part of the Handbook, expectations need to be clear without impeding faculty freedom to craft syllabi and assignments as they see fit. Next meeting: October 7, 8:30 a.m., in Library 213 Meeting was adjourned at 9:35 a.m. Respectfully submitted by Mimi Hellman  ! b}~hth/F5OJQJh/FOJQJ /0    STab & Fgd/F^gd/Fdd[$\$^gd/Fm$ & Fdd[$\$gd/Fm$ dd[$\$gd/F & Fdd[$\$gd/Fm$dd[$\$^gd/Fm$ & Fgd/Fgd/F$a$gd/F~12UV}~^gd/F & Fdd[$\$gd/Fm$ dd[$\$gd/F & Fdd[$\$gd/Fm$dd[$\$^gd/Fm$ 21h:pt/ =!"#$% H@H /FNormal CJOJQJ_HaJmH sH tH DAD Default Paragraph FontRiR  Table Normal4 l4a (k(No ListDOD /FList Paragraph ^m$~ /0STab 1 2 U V } 0000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 000000/0STab 1 2 U V } 00000000000000000000000 0} ~ ~ ~ lq $$r >q vv ||   9*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttagsplace8*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttagsCity \ FWyW]FM37 p w 33333 g ) 8aT|^`5^JhH. ^`hH. pp^p`hH. @ @ ^@ `hH. ^`hH. ^`hH. ^`hH. ^`hH.
