EPCC Minutes
10/18/05
Attendance:
Mary Koza Marla Johnson Ruth Davenport
Colleen Johnson Rob Davis Richard Croft
Nancy Knowles Dea Hoffman
Decision Items:
1. APEL 390 – Assessment of Prior Experiential Learning - Not approved.
Needs more clarification. Tie to more disciplinary writing, and available to al students not just those who strive harder. Mary Koza
will take back and see if they want to pursue it or not. Joanne parsons prepared syllabus before leaving DDE, and is now retired.
Perhaps Kim Sorensen may want to revisit it.
2. ENG/WR 403 – (Retroactive to W05 term) Senior Project. A capstone. Has always met UWR.
3. WR 331 – Advanced News Writing.
Neil changed it to meet the outcomes. On syllabus it says Writing Intensive, needs changed to UWR. Needs C- language in
evaluation section, and the “attendance” section as well. Nancy will request that Neil make the modifications then a revision
will be forwarded to Kris for records.
Discussion items:
Nancy will draft something reflecting our discussion.
2. Several of the handbook revisions John made are “constitutional” changes which will need further approval – Assembly.
3. 24 hour module. Vo-tech policy.
An additional 24 may be brought in if applicable. What is and is not appropriate at four year universities. We are allowing
45+ depending on how it applies to EOU. Other OUS (except OIT) accept 24. Fire Science and ECE is different and has
switched to regular numbering hospitality/tourism may be one that is coming.
Advisors are consulted to see, upon their review, if certain credits deem appropriate. Need consistency throughout EOU.
EPCC needs to discuss.
