- General Studies Capstone Course Proposal:
Jeanne Cutler presented the following Capstone Course Proposal to the Council, asking for permission to seek a grant to support the proposal. (Draft)
General Studies Capstone Course ProposalSince its beginning, the present General Studies program has included an undeveloped capstone course. This writing intensive, interdisciplinary course would consist of a student's writing a single revised paper that draws together material from multiple perspectives to solve a problem proposed by the faculty in the student's major discipline. It would be an independent learning project carried out entirely on-line, using CourseInfo and email, and be open to any registered student who has successfully completed General Studies in at least three perspectives and declared a major. This proposal is an attempt to develop a pilot capstone course in a way that would facilitate acquiring grant money to help establish the pilot course and test it over a three year interval.
Objective:
- provide a means to integrate learning from several GS perspectives to solve a problem in the student's major academic area and confirm his or her Liberal Education experience.
- provide a means for transfer students to use their GS classes being transferred to UNK and earn UNK credit using a web based format. (It would be open to students at other institutions having articulation agreements with UNK for the General Studies courses taken.)
- provide easy access for a wide range of students, whether on the UNK campus or not
- provide a means of assessing student learning in the GS program that would provide information to improve the General Studies program, and satisfy North Central* assessment requirements
Method:Appoint a coordinator for the capstone course, who would update CourseInfo, interface between the students and faculty, and keep students on deadlines. (.5 FTE, maybe a graduate assistant)
Identify faculty who would serve as evaluators for a stipend, maybe graduate assistants.
Representatives from all colleges draw up a list of problems for the semester to be addressed by students choosing the GS capstone course.
Registered students find the topic from their area on the web, write an abstract of their solution identifying the GS courses that they had taken and the material from those courses being used to address the problem, and submit it in email to the coordinator.
The coordinator would send the proposal to the appropriate faculty member who would reply with comments to the student. The student would work closely with the faculty member using email to produce a paper clearly presenting his/her ideas documented with material from the GS courses already taken, not new research.
Using the resources of CourseInfo, students would read each others papers and collaborate in the writing process.
A team of faculty members would evaluate all papers, assigning a grade for the student and supplying evaluation to the General Studies Council to be used to upgrade the General Studies program.
Develop a set of guidelines regarding the mechanics of student/evaluator interaction (timelines for responding to email, timeline for writing the paper, documentation to be used, length of paper, etc.)
Student Credit Hour production for this course would go to the major department.
Financial requirements:Salary for coordinator who would update CourseInfo, interface between the students and faculty, and keep students on deadlines.
Stipends for faculty.
Computer setup for coordinator.
Operating expenses.
- General Studies Program Review:
Jussel informed the Council that Dr. Roark has asked for a Program Review for the General Studies Council. Jussel stated that Charlie Bicak has agreed to chair the review process and in February/March an outside reviewer will be selected. Over the summer months a survey will be sent out and the review will be in September or October of 2000.
- MISCELLANEOUS:

- NEW BUSINESS:
- Student Appeal:
Dick Jussel asked Dave Anderson to chair the committee for this section of the General Studies meeting. A student is appealing Jussel's decision not to grant a waiver. Anderson distributed a packet of material regarding the student's situation. The student is a transfer student and is requesting a waiver for six credit hours. Three of which were waived and the remaining three are being appealed.
After considerable discussion, the Council moved to approve the waiver. The Council believed much of the problem was caused by the student's department, which did not offer WI courses when the student needed them. The department currently offers some WI, but like several others, still needs to develop more.
***Clint Ludeman (Bicak) moved to approve the student's waiver. Motion carried. The action did not constitute a policy statement, it responded to a specific case.
- Geography Proposals
Stan Dart presented a Geography proposal to the GS Council. Dart's proposal is to discontinue GEOG 105 and create three new courses from GEOG 105. The three new courses will be:
- GEOG 101 - Physical Geography I: The Atmosphere
- GEOG 102 - Physical Geography II: The Lithosphere
- GEOG 103 - The Dynamics Planet: Hazards in the Environment
(GEOG 103 is the continuation of the three credit hour, non-lab, GEOG 105 course)
Dart stated that there are several benefits in doing this, however, two main reasons are:
- To provide a broader depth of coverage in two areas of Geography
- Still maintain the basic and essential elements of Geography
Also, GEOG 106 will be changed from "Cultural Geography" to "Human Geography" and GEOG 206 will be changed from "Geography of Anglo-American" to "Geography of the United States and Canada."
These additional courses are electives not requirements.
***Clint Ludeman (Camp) moved to approve GEOG 101, GEOG 102, and GEOG 103 as GS courses in place of GEOG 105. Motion failed because the GS policy states that five positive votes are needed for approval (four votes for and one vote against). Bicak would like to see the proposal on the agenda for the next meeting.

- Allied Health Proposal:
Charlie Bicak and Peggy Biddlecome presented to the Council a proposal they would like the Council to consider for students that have trouble meeting the WI requirements in selected areas. For students that have trouble meeting the WI requirements, Bicak proposed using a prorated approach to WI requirements for students in selected programs such as these. The programs that would be affected are:
- Radiography 2 + 2 = 6
- Respiratory Therapy 3 + 1 = 9
- Medical Technology 3 + 1 = 9
- Health Science Degrees 3 + 1 = 9
For example, Radiography students are on campus for two years and off for two years, therefore, they would be required to take three credit hours of WI each year they are on campus, making a requirement of 6 WI credit hours.
After much discussion, Jussel suggested that Bicak and Biddlecome put their proposal in writing to the Council. The Council will vote at the next GS meeting.
***Charlie Bicak (Camp) moved to approve the above suggestion. Motion carried.
- Update on Ad Hoc Capstone Course Committee:
Rick Miller forwarded this proposal to the General Studies Council for consideration. Proposal for a 1 Credit Hour Capstone Experience for General Studies
The Course: The capstone experience would be in the form of a reading course. The topics would need to relate to two or more disciplines covered in the General Studies program. Each semester, topics for the readings course would be proposed by groups of faculty who would then act as readers. Faculty members in the topic group would be act as course coordinator for selected students. A list of articles, book chapters, etc. would be provided to the student who would ultimately write a paper that summarized the literature. The topics proposed by faculty should be interdisciplinary, intercultural, and have implications for real-world application. Thus, the course would address the goals of both the writing intensive and cultural diversity initiatives. In the paper students would be able to (1) demonstrate their ability to integrate the breadth and diversity of knowledge from two or more disciplines relevant to modern society (2) develop an understanding of cultures of sub-cultures other than their own and (3) prepare for the utilization of the skills and knowledge developed in college to function effectively in the natural, social, and political environment in which they will find themselves after graduation.
Faculty Role: Faculty would form teams to offer a capstone readings course. They will select the relevant materials to be read. The topics and the reading list would be proposed to and approved by the General Studies committee prior to listing them in the course schedule. Faculty members in the team will share responsibilities for coordination so that each member will take on about the same number of students. The coordinator will be the contact point for the student. It is expected that the student will prepare a draft of the term paper, which will then be read and graded by all faculty members on the team, returned to the student who will revise and re-submit the paper. The final paper will again be read by all faculty and a grade assigned. Course load credit will be computed in the same manner as credit for independent study courses.
***Clint Ludeman (Bicak) moved to not approve this proposal. Motion carried.
