a) Are changes needed for any of the panel’s current descriptors and/or course approval criteria?
b) Outstanding / ongoing topics from previous panel meeting(s)
~ In fall '24 meeting, the panel discussed the need for a definition of “formal writing” that works for all disciplines under the panel – philosophy, dance, etc. – there is a stark difference, based on the nature of a discipline, of the extent to what amount of writing should be expected in a course (like dance). ~ Native Speakers courses being submitted as 4th semester H1900 Foreign Language IV descriptor? ~ Need to review / possibly revise the H5900 Intro to Religion descriptor c) Updates
~ Update on panel split discussions
d) Other discussion items from panel members
e) Next meeting(s):
i) Fall '25 = Friday, November 7th for Humanities and Friday, November 21st for Fine Arts, at 10:00 am to 2:30 pm in-person and via Zoom web conference if the split is ready for the fall '25 semester
ii) Spring '26 = TBD, 2026 meeting announced at the fall meeting
