DRAFT

Curriculum mapping was defined as a multi-stage process of identifying pathways within a program to meet a desired set of outcomes

Geography’s experience with curriculum mapping: o Began the process in 2008 (identified learning outcomes in 2008 and again in 2011) o Mapped first two years for both ‘sides’ of the department linking courses to outcomes and

identifying assignments. o Listed how each course met each learning outcome (or identified visible gaps) o Process in 2011-12: Re-examination of learning outcomes. This result focused less on

single skills and more on the big picture skillsets and abilities. Currently in the process of identifying how each 100-200 level course meets outcomes with ongoing plan to map 300-400 level courses in the summer.

Results of 2011-12 mapping: o Earlier skill concept and development needed in the program o Assumption of 1st year student abilities help explain some difficulties in 100-level courses o Identified a need to deliver 100-level courses differently – especially through problem

based learning o Preliminary discussion of curriculum changes (eg: greater quantitative requirements) o Able to identify learning outcomes that reflect desired departmental outcomes for their

own teaching, research and scholarship. Goals of this process were: identifying learning outcomes for the program, identifying gaps in

developing skills, finding areas of over-emphasis, sharing information on successful pedagogical and evaluation strategies and identifying areas where information is needed in course delivery

Advice and lessons learned: o Leave a lot of time to complete the process, plan on repeating, and prepare for not

everyone to “buy into it” o Make your list of learning outcomes a manageable size o Learning outcomes should influence pedagogy as well as content o Anticipate difficulties mapping outcomes for a whole program when many courses are

optional o Follow through on commitments to improve courses and curriculum – make the process

fit your departments goals

5) DEANS REPORT

A report was recently circulated in regards to a conference (Centre for Higher Education Research and Development) attended by several UFV administrators. A commitment from seven teaching intensive universities from BC and Alberta was agreed upon to continue meeting on a regular basis and finding ways to communicate what is being done well and what the importance of teaching focused institutions are.

A few of the presenters have been invited to the University of the Fraser Valley to present with a greater emphasis on community engaged research.

A commitment was made to working together on a faculty and student conference on community engaged research

a) 6.1 Senate Governance

Revisions to the terms of reference to allow the College of Arts to function as one body (as opposed to two faculties) for the purpose of council meetings should be submitted to Senate for approval at the February 17, 2012 meeting.

Revisions to Senate Standing Committees’ Terms of Reference and membership will be

presented to Senate on February 17 – including: o Academic Planning and Priorities Committee: addition of three seats for faculty (non-

o “That Senate direct the Senate Governance Committee to explore the issues raised by

the Academic Support Faculty in relation to their role in Senate Governance”

b) 6.2 Senate Budget A budget principles document was presented to Arts Faculty Council highlighting items such as

zero growth funding and a summary of budget changes for the fiscal year April 1, 2012-March 31, 2013

No additional funding will be issued with the exception of revenue generated by UFV. Currently UFV has a funding shortfall for the coming year of approximately $740,000.

Finance has projected that needs of the university can be met while operating at 105% of the ministry FTE target

c) 6.3 UEC

The new Practical Nursing diploma as well as several new courses were approved at Februarys UEC meeting

Option A special admission requests will now be handled through Admissions & Records Special transfer credit requests will come to UEC – for example: transfer credit from non-

7) FOR DISCUSSION

a) Learning Outcomes A roundtable discussion recently took place to determine what the most flexible and

comprehensive science requirements would be. Two documents were circulated – one that has been adopted by DQAB and the other is a

document that was used by a private educational foundation. The roundtable group discussed the two frameworks and based on consensus have decided to work with the Canadian Council of Education document and supplement this with the Lumina report.

A refined document will be posted on the web shortly, in an abbreviated format Timeframe for developing learning outcomes will be a lengthy process. There is no specific time

line but the goal is to create a document that the College of Arts has complete faith in. The College of Arts must have a set of accountability measures, or risk having measures

imposed ACTION: J. Nolte has asked for re-wording suggestions for item (8a) on the learning outcomes document

b) Program Prioritization Criteria The APPC standing committee for Senate has been putting together a grid to rank new programs

(not certificates or diplomas – new majors and new major programs only) in terms of which programs they recommend to senate should be implemented first, second third, etc. The ranking is of programs that have already been developed and that have received full approval from UEC or GEC. The grid displayed at the Arts Faculty Council meeting is to be used as a way of determining how to rank the programs

APPC members acknowledged the grid was a work in progress. After a period of time, the grid will be re-evaluated in terms of the weighting of the criteria and whether some criteria need to be added/changed/deleted. An update will definitely be required after the Institutional Learning Objectives have been determined. APPC is currently in the process of discussing how prioritization will happen e.g.: once a year, twice a year etc.

APPC will rank the programs using the grid in conjunction with the Budget committee’s report on estimated costs of the program.

AFC members raised questions about whether a number system (i.e. points) or non-number system should be used to evaluate stronger programs vs. weaker ones. In response to this, Cheryl Dahl reported that the grid was tested with four strong, fully-developed new degree programs and all received similar scores. What became clear from this test was which areas a program exceeded expectations and where it was a little thin; each program had different strengths and weaknesses, even though they received the same general score. This suggests that the scoring system should not create too big of a problem for programs that do not meet all criteria listed in the grid and yet are strong programs.

AFC members suggested changes be made to the title of the grid and to the opening paragraph on the grid so as to clarify the use of the grid. ACTION:

o C. Dahl to bring the grid back to APPC for revisions to the title and introductory paragraph

o S. Piper has asked that AFC members with specific suggestions to e-mail Sylvie Murray, Chantelle Marlor or Cheryl Dahl

c) Honours Degree Framework

Honours Degree Framework has gone to the Academic Planning and Priorities Committee and was brought back to UEC for further discussion at the February 3, 2012 meeting

Most UEC members were dissatisfied that an honours degree required additional credits based on other programs stating otherwise

DRAFT

UEC has agreed and moved that an honours can consist of either additional credits up to twelve or a specified concentration of upper level credits. This amendment will be brought forward to Senate

This framework is a general framework for the entire institution and is meant to set out minimum requirements. UEC felt that it was important not to limit the framework to 120 credits.

Each proposal for an honours degree will need to be approved through UEC and each area of study will have the opportunity to propose their programs in a manner that allows them to remain competitive.

 APPC report to AFC by Sylvie Murray, February 23, 2012  Program Prioritization and Ranking:   The following revisions to the Program Evaluation Grid (made by Cheryl Dahl, Chantelle Marlor, Sylvie Murray, and Jacqueline Nolte) were accepted at the Feb 22 meeting, following AFC’s recommendations.   1. Change the name of the grid from 'Program Evaluation Grid' to ‘Program Ranking Grid’ to clarify that 

it is used for ranking of completed proposals for possible implementation and not used for approval of programs for conceptual development.  

2. Under ‘Quality of the proposal’, change the first sentence to read ’proposals must be recommended for approval to Senate by either UEC or GSC’.  

3.  Change the introductory paragraph to read as follow:  The Academic Planning and Priorities Committee uses this grid as a guide for assessing potential new programs in terms of how well they exhibit UFV‐established priorities, including those set out in the Strategic Plan. Given that programs must have already been recommended for approval by UEC or GSC before reaching this point, it is assumed that all the proposed programs at this stage are meritorious, that is, that they have met both UFV Learning Outcomes and the standards set out in the proposal template. The goal at this stage is for APPC members to evaluate which of these meritorious program proposals should be ranked higher when considered for implementation. This grid is meant as a guide for discussion, to ensure that all important issues are considered. The budget analysis prepared by the Budget Committee should be considered in conjunction with this grid.  The Program Ranking Grid can be viewed on the APPC’s website: http://www.ufv.ca/senate/Senate_Standing_Committees/APPC.htm  

 

Criteria/process for program reduction: 

APPC also clarified that the Program Ranking Grid will be used to rank new programs only; a distinct 

process will have to be determined in the case of program reduction. APPC has asked Academic 

Administrators to suggest criteria to assist in program reduction decisions.

Course and Program Approval Policies (Graduate and Undergraduate) 

At its December 14, 2011 meeting, APPC reviewed the Undergraduate Program and Course Approval 

Policy forwarded by the Undergraduate Education Committee (UEC) and raised a number of questions 

for further examination. A subcommittee made of representatives of UEC, GSC (Graduate Studies 

Committee), APPC, the program development coordinator, and the original policy group was formed to 

review these policies (members are Samantha Pattridge, Cheryl Dahl, Maria Bos‐chan, Sue Brigden, 

Sylvie Murray and Noham Weinberg). APPC also expressed its wish that graduate and undergraduate 

program and course approval policies be parallel. GSC has since then completed revisions to the policy 

for graduate courses and programs; the subcommittee is now looking at the two policies with the view 

of reconciling differences between the two.  

The most substantial revision to the program approval process for both graduate and undergraduate 

courses that the subcommittee will be recommending to APPC and Senate (hopefully at the March and 

May meetings, respectively) relates to the role of the Deans and democratic bodies (Faculty Councils 

and Senate). The recommendation will be that, at two key stages in the process of program 

development (the presentation of a concept paper and of the full proposal), authority to approve or 

stop a proposal will be given to the democratic bodies, not the Dean. The Dean will have the 

responsibility to “review and recommend” a concept paper and full proposal to Faculty Council; it is 

understood that a recommendation could be positive and negative. This would represent a change in 

our current practice. We welcome AFC’s thoughts on the implications of this proposed change.  

APPC has also mandated the subcommittee “to consider a stream‐lined approval process for certificates 

and diploma programs to permit greater flexibility in responding to emerging needs in our communities” 

(APPC approved minutes, 2012 01 25).

Aboriginal learners succeed in an integrated, relevant, and effective British Columbia post-secondary education system that enhances their participation in the social, cultural and economic life of their communities, the province, and global society. CONTINUING COMMITMENTS The framework recognizes the commitments previously made by the Government of British Columbia, First Nations, and the Métis Nation BC, including:

• A New Relationship between the provincial government and First Nations that is government-to-government and is based on respect, recognition and accommodation of Aboriginal title and rights. • The Transformative Change Accord signed in November 2005 by the Government of British Columbia, British Columbia First Nations and the Government of Canada, “to achieve the goals of closing the social and economic gap between First Nations and other British Columbians over the next 10 years ... and of establishing a new relationship based upon mutual respect and recognition.” • The Métis Nation Relationship Accord signed in May 2006 by the Government of British Columbia and the Métis Nation of British Columbia, to work towards closing the gap on the quality of life between Métis people and other British Columbians. • The British Columbia Aboriginal Post-Secondary Education and Training Partners Group’s

Memorandum of Understanding on Aboriginal Post-Secondary Education and Training, which reflects the Partners’ intention to collectively build on successes to date, identify needs, and implement strategies to improve the success of Aboriginal post-secondary learners in British Columbia 20

PRINCIPLES The framework will be guided by the following principles: 1. Recognition and support for the right of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples to self-determination and the role of post-secondary education in facilitating and supporting self-determination. 2. An acknowledgement of and respect for the diverse histories, languages, cultures, values, ways of knowing, and knowledge systems of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, and recognition that the post-secondary system has a role in sharing this understanding with all British Columbians. 3. An affirmation that First Nations, Métis and Inuit languages and cultures are critical components of quality educational programming and are essential to support the success of Aboriginal learners. 4. Recognition that First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples are in the best position to inform the development of and decision-making around post-secondary education programs, policies and services for First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, working collaboratively within existing governance structures. 5. A commitment to informed leadership, shared responsibility, effective practices, and meaningful accountability for measurable outcomes in relation to Aboriginal learner success and systemic change within public post-secondary institutions. 6. Recognition of the unique, vital and complementary roles of Aboriginal-controlled post-secondary institutes and public post-secondary institutions in serving the needs of Aboriginal learners. 7. Support for successful transitions for Aboriginal learners throughout the lifelong learning continuum, and between public post-secondary institutions and Aboriginal-controlled post-secondary institutes. 8. Support for innovative and flexible approaches to meet the needs of the diversity of Aboriginal learners in British Columbia’s post-secondary education system. 9. Recognition that the work needed to achieve systemic change is significant and will take time, thus long term investments are required to ensure programs, policies and services that meet the needs of Aboriginal learners are systemic, strategic and sustainable.

Gender and Kinship Gender and Sexuality across Cultures COURSE DESCRIPTIVE TITLE

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

The most fundamental distinction in all societies is that of gender. There are many similarities and differences in the way that this relationship is organized across cultures. In this course, we explore the nature of social relationships between/among genders, their reliance on particular ideas about femininity and masculinity, their importance to sexuality, the body, and group identity, and the cultural frameworks, stereotypes, inequalities, and misunderstandings that often accompany them. Taking an ethnographic and feminist approach, and emphasizing the everyday, we examine the connections between gender, family, kinship, economy, politics, religion, ethnicity, race, and class.This course introduces the major forms of kinship and descent across cultures and considers both the central place of women and the theorization of gender in the contemporary study of the family. Taking an ethnographic and feminist approach, the relationships between kinship, gender, economy, politics, religion, ethnicity, race, and class are examined, and notions of femininity and masculinity, honour and shame, and sexuality and the body are deconstructed. Students will be encouraged to make linkages between theory, literature, and personal experience. Disciplinary focus: ANTH/SOC.

Graphic and Digital Design Course Rationale

Revisions of Graphic Design courses have been undertaken in order to accommodate the re-launch of the Graphic and Digital Design diploma on the Mission campus this September. A consultant was hired to review both the structure of the program and the efficacy of individual courses. Attached revisions reflect both the input of the consultant and the work of the Visual Arts Program Committee (which oversees Graphic and Digital Design).

The main structural/content shift in the program (and thus in the courses as well) was to implement enhanced digital content. Changes to course titles, descriptions, and learning outcomes form the backbone of this shift. In some cases, numbering was also changed to improve flow. Two new courses were added and one 200-level course was advanced to the 300-level.

Graphic and Digital Design Course Rationale

Revisions of Graphic Design courses have been undertaken in order to accommodate the re-launch of the Graphic and Digital Design diploma on the Mission campus this September. A consultant was hired to review both the structure of the program and the efficacy of individual courses. Attached revisions reflect both the input of the consultant and the work of the Visual Arts Program Committee (which oversees Graphic and Digital Design).

The main structural/content shift in the program (and thus in the courses as well) was to implement enhanced digital content. Changes to course titles, descriptions, and learning outcomes form the backbone of this shift. In some cases, numbering was also changed to improve flow. Two new courses were added and one 200-level course was advanced to the 300-level.

To: College of Arts Faculty Curriculum & UE Committees From: John Pitcher, Department Head (English) Date: 11 January 2012

Re: Error in prerequisites for English 208 CrWr: Screenwriting It has come to our attention that an error was made in the four year review which passed through the committee last year for this course. The course was submitted to the committees with changes to the prerequisites to bring it in line with other 200 level courses (the course had previously been English 111).

The prerequisites in the calendar currently read: NONE

Prerequisites should have read: English 105 and any first year literature course, ENGL 108 or higher.

Note: We are requesting that the committee waive the 18 month advance notice in this case as the original submission did have these prerequistes reflected in the documentation. The course was sent back to the dept to deal with a clarification and when the minutes were passed from AFCC to UPAC, the prereq changes were missed. The course has not been offered since it was moved from the 100 level (formerly Engl 111) to the 200 level.

Greetings

KPE approved two minors: KPE minor for Arts and General Studies and KPE minor for Science. The Arts and General Studies minor consists of 36 credits and the Science minor consists of 37 credits.

The BGS program committee request that students be able to graduate with either minor if the relevant courses are successfully completed.

During 2010 I had discussions with Dr. Michael Gates, program chair, and Amber Zutz, KPE faculty member and neither saw problems with allowing students to graduate with a KPE minor approved for Bachelor of Science students if the minor requirements were met. In order to formalize this I request AFCC approval so this change can be implemented.

Respectfully,

Mandy KlepicBachelor of General Studies Advisor
