B. Requests for New Courses
1. INTL 100, Introduction to International

Motion: To approve INTL 100
(Melkumian/Engel)

with no punctuation.
Dr. Neumann asked if the Center for International
Studies (CIS) has been granted college and academic department status in order
to be able to put forward courses for credit.
Associate Provost Baily responded that request would need to go before
the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE).
CIS Associate Director Murali Venugopalan told CCPI he contacted Senate
Chair Steve Rock and Associate Provost Baily, who recommended completing the
form with CIE as the college and “INTL/Provost’s Committee on International
Studies” as the department since they developed the proposal. Dr. Neumann stated she feels uncomfortable
engaging in a discussion on the proposals until it is certain that CIS has been
granted permission to issue credit for courses.
Associate Provost Baily said she would have to discuss the situation
with the Provost and President before they could go forward to Senate.
Chairperson Parsons noted that because there is no
paperwork for the proposed International Studies (IS) major, although it is
referenced in the forms, it is impossible to see how the three courses fit into
that program. Dr. Venugopalan responded
that both Provost Thomas and former Provost Rallo recommended that the courses
be submitted first since approval of the major is a much longer process and it
is hoped that students could go ahead and take the courses with the intention
of applying them toward the major once it is approved. Tej Kaul, who serves on the committee
developing the curricula, told CCPI the Provost’s Committee on International
Studies has been in operation for three and half years, and their intention was
to obtain approval of the courses pending
resolution of the credit-granting status of CIS and the approval of the IS
major. He believes the major request
will come before CIE no more than a month from now, and maybe as soon as two
weeks.
Motion: To table the three international courses until the
major comes before CCPI (Parsons/Bailey)
Chairperson Parsons predicted it would be difficult to
push the courses through Faculty Senate when each explicitly references the IS
major. She said in the meantime CCPI can
check on the academic status of CIS and whether it is acceptable for them to
offer credit courses. Dr. Kaul inquired
if it will take a long time to go through IBHE for academic status and if the courses
could be offered in the meantime.
Associate Provost Baily responded that she would have to check with IBHE
to see if this is an issue. Dr. Engel
suggested that the courses could be taken as electives even if the IS major
never materializes.

In response to a question about the nature of “invasion
games,” Kinesiology professor Marianne Woods explained that invasion games are
related to tactics and the idea that the player is invading an opponent’s
space. She added that in net ball games,
the teams are separated by a net, and in invasion games, teams play in the same
space. Football and boxing are
considered contact sports, not invasion games.
Changes:
· Change “ex.”
to “e.g.” everywhere it appears in the Kinesiology requests.
· Change KIN
253 course description to read, “Content knowledge and skill development in
movement concepts and tactics in games where balls are pitched, hit, and
fielded (baseball, softball) or where the objective is to place an object into
a target (bowling, golf). Development of
resource notebook required.”
· In the KIN 477 catalog description, change
“curricula in P-12 physical education programs” to K-12.

KINESIOLOGY COURSE REQUESTS APPROVED WITH CHANGES
9 YES – 0 NO
– 0 AB
12. NURS 305, Introduction to Professional
Nursing, 3 s.h.
Motion: To approve NURS 305
(Melkumian/Engel)
When asked how nursing practice differs from nursing
care, Director of Nursing Lea Monahan explained that with practice, there is no
direct input from the patient, whereas care indicates interaction with the
client and his or her family. The
suggestion was made to change the abbreviated title to NURSING INTRO, but Dr.
Monahan responded that “NURS” was used to keep the abbreviated titles
consistent throughout.
MOTION APPROVED 9 YES – 0 NO – 0 AB
13. NURS 310, Fundamentals of Nursing, 6 s.h.
Motion: To approve NURS 310
(Melkumian/Piletic)
When
asked the definition of a well client, Dr. Monahan explained that it can either
be someone who is having a “well” check up or someone with no underlying
pathophysiology. Registrar’s office
representative Donna Williams told CCPI that Western does not have a precedent
for translating clinical hours into credit hours, although at Trinity College
three hours of clinical experience relates to one standard undergraduate credit
hour. Dr. Monahan explained that in
order to go through a nursing program, students must take a number of clinical
hours, but the clinical sites in this area are so few that the course can only
be offered once a year.
Change: Indicate that NURS 302 and 305 should be
taken as corequisites.

Some majors and many minors list this course as an elective, as well. CCPI felt that some communication needs to be
provided to show that affected departments have been informed of the proposed
change.
