Curriculum Committee Notes
- Write down what you expect students to do regardless of who teaches the course.
- List assignments as either in-class or out-of-class; in-class should be entered first.
- Out-of-class assignments for lecture hours are required to evince at least two hours of outside work per week for every hour of lecture.
- While it is important to show that a course has the required rigor regardless of who teaches it, you can still generalize your assignment descriptions and provide an array of options that any instructor might use.
- Credit courses with lecture hours should have both in-class and out-of-class assignments.
- Quizzes, midterm exams, final exams and other tests are generally not considered assignments but appear in the Evaluation section.
