Agenda Item:  III. College of Fine Arts and Communication, School of Communication

 

(1.)   Revision of Existing Course:  COMM 3320

 

Discussion:

 

·        Add to the justification that the course change reflects changes in the industry and that the faculty of Communication determined that these changes are necessary.

·        Item #16: Check boxes for “Studio” and “Technology-mediated”

o   Include in the syllabus that a grade of “C” in the course is required for the course to count toward the major as indicated in the catalog copy.

o   Change the description and prerequisite information in the syllabus to match the changes in the catalog copy.

o   Add the ISBN numbers for the required textbooks.

o   Remove the information: “Students who have not completed MPRD 3220 Video News (Field) Production, must also purchase:

Weynand, Diana. Final Cut Pro 6: Professional Editing in Final Cut Studio 2. Peach Pitt Press, 2007. (w/DVD)  Note: This textbook is recommended for students who have completed MPRD 3220.”

(2.)   Prefix Revision of Existing Courses:  MPRD 2210 (to COMM 2210), MPRD 3220 (to COMM 3220), MPRD 3500 (to COMM 3500)

 

Discussion:  MPRD has moved to the School of Fine Arts from the School of Communication. Classes that are remaining in the School of Communication need to be relabeled as COMM to reflect the school and unit in which they are to be offered.

 

Action Taken: Linner Griffin moved to approve with changes.  Derek Alderman seconded. Motion passed.

 

 

(3.)   Title Revision Only of Existing Course:  COMM 4080

 

Discussion:

·        Make sure that the title is changed every place in the catalog in which it appears. Some instances were missed.

·        Item #18: in the syllabus, change the range on the “D” grade to “60-69.”

 

Action Taken: Linner Griffin moved to approve with changes.  Derek Alderman seconded. Motion passed.

Discussion: MPRD has moved to the School of Fine Arts from the School of Communication. Though these courses are banked, the prefixes should be changed so that the decision to unbank or delete the classes is within the purview of the faculty in Communication. After the change is implemented, Linner Griffin encourages the Communication faculty to review the banked courses and consider whether some might be deleted. This action can be done via memo.

 

 

Action Taken: Linner Griffin moved to approve with changes.  Derek Alderman seconded. Motion passed.

Communication Honors Program

The School of Communication Honors Program provides an opportunity for outstanding communication majors to do intensive research in areas of special interest. Participation is limited to seniors who have obtained a minimum university and major 3.5 GPA. Students participating in the honors program enroll in COMM 4196 and 4199 in consecutive semesters of the senior year. Students, after consultation with their advisor, are strongly advised to begin exploration and preliminary research of their honors topic during the second semester of their junior year in order to have sufficient time to complete the work. After extensive reading on a topic of the student’s choice, appropriate consultation with a faculty advisor, and approval of a research proposal, the student submits an honors thesis on a topic related to the readings and completes an oral examination covering both the reading assignments and the completed thesis. Students must receive a grade of B or better in COMM 4196 to continue with COMM 4199.

Film Studies Minor

James Holte, Coordinator, 2211 Bate Building

The minor in film studies provides students with an opportunity to study the history, theory, criticism, cultural uses, aesthetics, and production practices of cinema. The courses are designed to help students meet the new challenges they will encounter as citizens and workers in the information age and to learn how to analyze and engage critically with the visual media that has become a fixture of contemporary life. This curriculum complements a wide range of liberal arts majors by teaching students textual analysis, critical thinking, and writing skills.

This interdisciplinary minor asks students to forge connections between the discipline of film studies and other disciplines, including literature, creative writing, rhetoric, music, communications, history, foreign languages, sociology, and political science, among others. Courses in the minor will address cinema within its social, political and cultural contexts including an understanding of how race, ethnicity, gender, religion and class are constructed through the cinematic image. Courses taken towards the minor must come from at least three different prefixes (ART, COMM, ENGL, GERM, MPRD, RUSS, SOCI, SPAN, or POLS). Other appropriate courses may be considered for inclusion as electives change or upon review by the director. For more information go to: http://www.ecu.edu/english/filmstudies/

NACS OVERVIEW OF

HIGHER EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY ACT

TEXTBOOK PROVISIONS

 

 

  • Requires institutions of higher education by July 2010 who receive federal financial assistance (this includes private institutions of higher education who receive federal funds) to the “maximum extent practicable” and “in a manner of the institution's choosing” to provide students with accurate course material information including ISBN and retail price when available and practicable for each course listed in the institution’s course schedule used for preregistration and registration purposes, or may otherwise indicate "to be determined."

 

An institution may satisfy the requirements by providing a link to another appropriate web site that satisfies the requirements of information disclosure such as the institution’s college bookstore, provided that such link is clearly and prominently located on the institution's Internet course schedule or printed course schedule. This is similar to the way many current registration systems interface or link with the college bookstore web sites and the store’s course material database which contains the most up-to-date and accurate information.

 

  • Requires that if printed course schedules exist to provide an Internet link to where the course material information is available. If a printed schedule does not exist, the school does not have to create one, nor does it need to create an online schedule either.

 

  • Encourages stakeholders to work together to reduce course material costs.

 

  • Requires textbook publishers by July 2010 to disclose certain course material information to faculty and staff including the net (wholesale) price and packaging options.

 

  • Requires textbook publishers to offer unbundled course materials, unless they are bound by third-party contract, customs, or if the materials are designed solely as integrated materials.

 

  • Encourages institutions of higher education to disseminate information to students on campus-based initiatives to reduce costs such as used books, guaranteed buyback, rental programs, e-books, print-on-demand, etc.

 

  • Requires a new Government Accountability Office study in 2013 to review the implementation by institutions, bookstores, and publishers, as well as the cost and benefits to institutions and students of the textbook provisions.

 

  • Requires institutions to provide their campus stores with enrollment information and adoption information.

 

  • Expands the current campus-based financial aid programs formula for books and supplies from $450 to $600.

 

  • Requires greater reporting of book and supply cost information among other higher education cost reporting requirements.

 

  • Establishes an advisory commission and competitive grant program to make course materials more accessible for students with disabilities.

 

  • Creates a new competitive pilot grant to fund up to 10 institutions and their college bookstores who wish to experiment with offering students textbook rental programs to reduce the net costs for students.
