COVER

1. Click Cover from Navigation bar on left hand side of screen.

2. *Course Number: Contact Curriculum Office for an appropriate number when developing a new

course.

3. *Course Title: Avoid abbreviations and acronyms if possible, unless course focuses on a particular program, (example: AutoCAD, or NetWare). Full Course title appears in College Catalog and on Official Course Outline. COURSE TITLE CHANGES ALSO REQUIRE THE COURSE NUMBER TO BE CHANGED.

4. Short Title: Limited to 30 characters; appears on transcripts. SHORT TITLE CANNOT BE CHANGED ON CURRENT COURSES UNLESS A COURSE NUMBER CHANGE IS PROPOSED.

5. *Course Description: Appears in College Catalog; use precise and concise statements; avoid phrases such as “This course will teach” or “Students will learn.” See below course description before it was put into "catalog language":

Course designed for science majors interested in a career in biotechnology. History and fundamental principles of biotechnology, including molecular biological, genetic, and immunological foundations are covered. Theory and practice of recombinant DNA methodologies are highlighted. Past, present and promising future applications of

biotechnology are discussed. Ethical, political, and economic impacts of biotechnology, including patents, are presented.

8. Course Equivalency: For Major Revisions (courses being renumbered), click the Course Equivalency

checkbox and in the Equivalency Text field, indicate whether or not the current course will be equivalent to the revised course for grade repeat. For Course Deletions, indicate if a new course will be equivalent to deleted course for grade repeat. For courses with no equivalent, indicate the last semester in which the course will need to be scheduled. (i.e. needs to offer through Summer 2013).

This field can be left blank for minor course revisions (no course number change).

9. Proposed Start Year: Year in which proposed course/course changes are to be implemented. Plan sufficient time for review and approval to meet class registration deadlines. This field can also be

populated from the Academic Plan screen. Data will display here if information has already been entered via the Academic Plan screen.

10. Requested Start Semester: Select the planned semester in which the new course/changes to existing course will be implemented. Note: Major revisions to existing courses must be implemented in

the Fall term to align with the new academic year/catalog. his field can also be populated from the Academic Plan screen. Data will display here if information has already been entered via the Academic Plan screen.

11. Rationale: This is a required field. Provide explanation of why course is needed; include evidence from any surveys/sources indicating economic need in the community. For a Course Revision, provide

an explanation of why course needs to be revised, include any evidence that justifies change and in case of a prerequisite change, why new prerequisites will better prepare students for enrollment in this course. Below is an example of a rationale for a prerequisite change request:

ESL-1120: Proposed prerequisite: ESL-1020 ESL Basic Reading and Writing; and ESL-1110 ESL Grammar and Communication I or concurrent enrollment.

Rationale: Students need the knowledge gained from ESL-1020 to succeed in ESL-1120. Students need to master the concepts and skills taught in ESL-1110 either prior to enrolling in ESL-1120 or at the same time as they are enrolled in ESL-1120 in order to master the concepts and skills taught in ESL-1120. Students can succeed in mastering

the concepts and skills taught in ESL-1120 without having taken ESL-1130 Speaking ESL as a second language. This would give more flexibility to students needing a split or a part-time schedule, allowing them to enroll and succeed in ESL coursework.

This rationale includes the justification for the courses that are being proposed as required prerequisites and the explanation for why a course that is currently required is being removed. It is

very important to address both of these issues in the rationale when modifying prerequisites.

CURRICUNET Help Tip Course Content

TIPS FOR DEVELOPING COURSE CONTENT

CADRE looks for the Course Content area to include sufficient detail to ensure consistency in the delivery of the curriculum.

ENG-1010 and IT -1010 are samples of good outline formats that have recently passed CADRE. MARS-2220 is an example of a course that uses Concepts, Skills, Issues to document the course content.

Course content can be documented using a topical outline, a list of concept, skills, and issues OR BOTH.

Capitalize the first letter of the first word. All other letters are lowercase.

Spell out acronyms the first time and include the acronym next to it. Later use the acronym only. For Outlines:

There should be a minimum of two items per level (i.e. If there is a 1 there should always be at

least a 2, etc.)

Do NOT use periods at the end of each line The depth of the outline should be sufficient that another faculty member would know what level of detail needs to be taught. The other factor that would also provide guidance are the outcomes and objectives –

there should be a good match between the outcomes and objectives and the course content.

ENTERING COURSE CONTENT

1. Click Course Content link from Course Navigation Menu on left hand side of screen.

2. If working on a new course, click the ordered list icon from the text-editor Menu bar to activate the

automatic outlining function. Enter Concepts, Skills, Issues and/or Topical Outline. Note: If including both Concepts, Skills, Issues and a Topical Outline, the Topical Outline should follow the Concepts,

CURRICUNET Help Tip Credit Hours

Credit Hour Definitions

Lecture: 50 minutes = 1 credit Hour. Formalized instruction including lecture, directed discussion, demonstration, or the presentation of audio-visual materials or techniques. Course organization requires an instructor to be responsible for the instructional activity and directly involved with all students in the class. Out-of-class assignments/study may average 2 hours for each hour of formal class time. Out-of-class time is not counted as part of total class time.

Laboratory: (50 minutes per hour) Educational activity conducting experiments, perfecting skills or practicing procedures under the direction of a faculty member. Normally combined with another

instructional delivery strategy i.e. lecture.

Two hour lab= 1credit Hour. Students are required to do one hour of outside work per week.

Emphasize this requirement in course syllabus.

Three hour lab (50 minutes per hour) = 1 Credit Hour. Requires little or no out of class study.

Clinical Lab: (60 minutes per hour) Two hour/Three hour lab = 1 credit Hour. Experience in Health-related agency/facility. This instructional mode is only used by the Nursing programs as it requires students be supervised by Tri-C faculty while at the clinical site.

Directed Practice: Minimum of 5 hours = 1 credit. Practice Experiences at a Health Care Agency under constant supervision. Requires one lecture session per week.

Practicum: Minimum of 7 hours=1 credit. Work Experience. Requires one seminar session per week. Faculty visit students once each two weeks of the semester.

Field/Co-op Experience: Minimum of 12 hours=1 credit

Seminar/Discussion: 1 hour = 1 credit. Educational experiences less formal than lecture. Class directed by teacher. Focuses on practical situation, used to review/develop concepts.

Application Course: Minimum of 7 hours = 1 credit. Concentrated Practice required with individualized instruction in areas such as music, journalism or independent study

4. Enter Lab Hours as appropriate in the Min Lab Hour field (see chart above for definition on how lab hours equate to credit hours)

5. All other Instructional Modes (Practicum, Directed Practice, Field Experience, Misc. Applications, etc.) are listed under Other hours. List the total required weekly hours in the Other Hour field. List a description of Other Hours in the Other Hours Detail field. See below for sample

descriptions:

14 hours per week of Practicum at approved clinical site.

180 hours of Field Experience over the course of the semester at approved clinical site. (this method is often used if experience is offered in the summer or during a flexibly scheduled term, as students must complete the total required “per week” hours that equates to credits in the full 16 week term.
