Sched / Policy

Packaging lab hours with Math 25: the DE committee recommended packaging two lab hours with Math 25 sections that cannot be packaged with other courses (action item). Approved.

 

Check load and health benefits for adjuncts. (EH)

  
Sched / Policy

Amend Math dept policies: current policy does not mention distribution of extra lab hours (discussion item). Committee will work on a proposal to bring back to the department (EH, AM, P, PW)

  
Facilities

Move some computers from testing room (MA1-107) to quiet lab (MA1-106) and to other locations? Tue will work on this. Julie suggested scheduling some computer class time (e.g. Math 12) in MA2-203. (Approved)

 

Or, just swap the functions (and some chairs & tables) of the testing room and the quiet lab. (Rejected, but we could revist later if necessary).

  
Curriculum

Curriculum committee: new rep needed (Jeannine is unavailable) A'kilah will take the math slot on curriculum committee, and we will ask curriculum committee to find a new liberal arts representative.

  
Curriculum
