Proposed Changes in a Degree Program

Program Name and Degree Awarded: Early Childhood Special Education - MSED HEGIS Code: 0899.50 NY State Program Code: 26383 Effective term: Fall 2020

Program Learning Outcomes: Program graduates will demonstrate advanced competencies in:

1. Assessing individual children’s strengths and needs within authentic contexts, and individualize interventions that promote

learning across developmental and curricular domains. 2. Assessing and evaluating social and physical contextual factors to implement interventions to positively influence learning

and development of children. 3. Using data-based decision making processes in their everyday work. 4. Choosing and effectively implementing applicable evidence-based practices/ intervention strategies using both ECE & ECSE

methods with fidelity. 5. Consuming, critiquing, and applying the current EI/ECSE evidence base in their professional repertoire. 6. Creating, critiquing, and frequently integrating a variety of low and high technology tools & applications into daily practice. 7. Reflecting to improve practice as a means of self-monitoring and ongoing professional development. 8. Effectively partnering with other team members, including families, across disciplines and systems, to plan, implement and

evaluate interventions that fit the developmental strengths and needs of individual children. 9. Demonstrating professionalism in their communication and interactions with others across all media, and assume

responsibility in their role as an emerging professional. 10. Analyzing the current landscape then prioritize and mobilize to enact a plan for manageable change at the programmatic,

local, state and/or federal level. Detailed Description of the Proposed Modifications

1. Remove courses SPED 70600 and SPEDE 79900 from the program. 2. Increase total credits required from 39 to 49 credits. 3. Addition of courses to the degree program. 4. Increase of field experience credits from 2 credits to 8 credits

History and Objectives The Early Childhood Special Education programs at Hunter College prepare candidates to work with all children and all families, of all abilities and backgrounds, across the environments where children learn – classrooms, homes, and communities. The program also prepares candidates for the multiple roles available with this degree and certification, including teacher, consultant and coach (e.g., Special Education Itinerant Teacher and early intervention home visiting), assessor, and coordinator. Since the early childhood and early childhood special education certification areas cover the birth through grade 2 age range, the ECSE programs cover content and practice for the entire age range, aligned to the three distinct systems and differing developmental processes of the

infant/toddler (birth to 3 years), preschool (3-5 years), and primary (K-2 grades) periods. And with two-thirds of the certification age range occurring below Kindergarten, about two-thirds of course content focus on below Kindergarten. The traditional Early Childhood Special Education programs are also designed in alignment with the professional development evidence-base where, to truly learn how to implement practices effectively, candidates require a developmental sequence of content knowledge acquisition and reflection of practices as modeled by others to applied experiences with repeated opportunities for practice (Dunst & Trivette, 2009; Dunst, Trivette, & Hamby, 2010; Snyder, Hemmeter, & McLaughlin, 2011). As such the traditional programs were designed for candidates to develop competence in the practices outlined by the professional associations guiding the work of general and special early childhood educators -- the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC; https://www.naeyc.org/resources/topics/dap) and the Division for Early Childhood of the Council for Exceptional Children (DEC/CEC; http://www.dec-sped.org/dec-recommended-practices). The alternative certification program, currently a 39 credit program, was designed prior to the re-design of the traditional programs. In reviewing the alternative certification program, the ECSE faculty have determined that its current design does not meet the requirements outlined above. Furthermore, with the addition of the EdTPA, a rigorous performance-based assessment required for certification, the ECSE faculty have determined that the current alternative certification program does not provide sufficient coverage of content to prepare students to succeed in the edTPA. Therefore, the ECSE faculty are requesting the addition of 10 credits of coursework to meet the above expectations. FROM (strikethrough what will be changed) TO (underline the changes) ESCE-MSED

Rationale: The proposed modification aligns the alternative certification program with the rigors of the traditional certification programs, increasing field experience credits (and associated time) from 2 credits to 8 credits, and adds the families course (SPEDE 77300; 3 credits) essential to early childhood practice as well as a course on applying research-to-practice (SPEDE 70700; 1 credit). At the same time, the program is still aligned to the needs of alternative certification students who usually cannot take more than 6 credits per semester nor can they leave their classrooms during the school year. The sample schedule below demonstrates how these student needs can be met with program completion in three years. In addition, traditional students take two courses (SPED 79200 and SPED 70600 in children with severe/multiple disabilities. Alternative certification students currently take SPED 70600. In consultation with the program coordinator of the Severe/Multiple program, the ECSE program would like to swap courses and have the alternative certification students take SPED 79200 as a content priority for ECSE students.

Program Hunter’s ideal location in Manhattan offers students and faculty many intellectual, cultural and creative resources. In New York, as nowhere else, the student has access to the changing ideas and forms of contemporary art. This is crucial to the achievement of our educational goal: to develop professional artists capable of continued growth once they leave the relatively structured university environment. The program is designed to offer broad training for the artist in the development of critical and analytical visual thinking as it relates to their work. In this programmatic context students are encouraged to develop their own art through constant peer contact in the studios, individual work with faculty tutors, critical seminars focusing on student work, and classes in the theory, criticism and history of art. Electives in a range of studio practices are also required. In addition, many artists, curators, critics and historians are invited to meet with students. Admission Requirements Applications are reviewed once a year. The applicant must have completed at least 24 credits of undergraduate courses in studio art and 9 credits in art history, as well as an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution. Applicants who have a previously completed an MFA in art cannot be considered for admission to the studio art program at Hunter College. Applicants must submit the on-line Hunter College Graduate Application for Admission. This application, with all supporting materials, must be submitted prior to the January 15 deadline. In addition, applicants must upload their portfolio and statement of purpose to slideroom.com.

Program The MFA Program in Studio Art is a three-year program that offers advanced studies in Visual Art. Working with faculty from ceramics, drawing, sculpture, new genres, painting, printmaking, and photography, students learn to develop innovative, politically and socially engaged expression using diverse media. The MFA in Studio Art offers a 48-credit course of study, combining interdisciplinary seminars, one-on-one tutorials, classes on special topics, and art history courses spanning diverse histories. The MFA in Studio Art gives access to visiting curators, visiting artist workshops, curatorial studies, lectures, and an interdisciplinary program of graduate-initiated activities and access to courses in any other CUNY school. MFA students explore new ways to advance the field of visual arts and ideas, balancing critical thinking with aesthetics, contemporary issues within an historical perspective, theory with practice, and traditional methods with new technologies.

The master’s program prepares candidates to teach Social Studies in grades 7-12 to students of diverse backgrounds, abilities and interests. This program is not designed for individuals who already have NYS certification in Social Studies 7-12.

Outcomes include: 1. Demonstrate knowledge of social studies as a disciplinary and scholarly field 2. Develop critical and meaningful curriculum, based on research and context-specific standards and practices 3. Work creatively with students to communicate key tenets of historical thinking 4. Think interdisciplinarily about the connections among social studies, science, math and literacy 5. Connect teaching to students lives, cultures, and current experiences in the world.

Detailed Description of the Proposed Modification(s)

1. Eliminate the exit requirement for history department’s comprehensive exam. 2. Revise progress standards to be aligned with all other SOE programs. 3. Revised admissions requirement to be more inclusive of candidates with varied educational backgrounds.

History and Objectives The History Department has decided to discontinue the comprehensive exam. Previously, the exam was tied to specific history courses that were not always offered, making it difficult for students to sufficiently prepare and pass the exam.

AIII.5 The following is a change in English MA ENGLISH DEPARTMENT ENGLISH MA PROGRAM in LITERATURE, LANGUAGE, and THEORY Hunter College, CUNY

Substantive Change in program

HEGIS Code: 1501.00 NY State Program Code Number: 02443 MHC Program Code (Be sure to include the Macaulay Honors College HEGIS Code when applicable.): Codes can be found in the State's Inventory of Registered Programs at http://www.nysed.gov/heds/irpsl1.html) Effective Term: Fall 2020

A. HISTORY AND OBJECTIVES In order to better address our students’ needs for thesis writing instruction and improve the quality of student theses, we propose a change to our English MA in Literature, Language, and Theory program from a 1 course thesis requirement (ENGL 78900) to a 2 course thesis requirement: ENGL 77900, “Thesis Research and Writing Methods,” and ENGL 78900, “Master’s Thesis,” to be taken in sequence. ENGL 78900 is run as an independent study that a student takes under the direction of a 1st Reader/thesis advisor;

http://www.nysed.gov/heds/irpsl1.html

however, we have found that many students need fundamental instruction in the form of a thesis, the scope of a thesis argument, the essential elements of a thesis proposal, and practice in research writing before embarking on the specialized project they undertake with their thesis advisor. Moreover, many students need more than a single semester to complete a substantive thesis and we would like to build this time and instruction into the degree program. To meet this need, we propose adding a prerequisite course for ENGL 78900 that all Literature, Language, and Theory students will take to introduce them to the thesis as a form while giving them a chance to develop their specialized project, culminating in a formal thesis proposal the semester before they enroll in ENGL 78900. The new course will address:

1) how to select one’s topic; 2) how to situate one’s work in a critical conversation; 3) how to define one’s terms in a scholarly way; 4) the form of the literature review and how to effectively summarize and respond to scholarly arguments; 5) what is a scholarly intervention/arguable claim at the level of a Masters thesis; 6) how to write an annotated bibliography; 7) how to write an effective thesis proposal; 8) different strategies for time management and what are the administrative processes related to thesis composition and

approval within the Department (i.e. the role of 1st reader/advisor, 2nd reader, how to interface with AcademicWorks); 9) and will present models of successful theses for discussion and analysis.

In addition to these topics of instruction, the new course will provide students with the opportunity to workshop their own proposals with their peers as well as their instructor, facilitating broader conversations in our program about the kinds of interventions theses make in scholarship in advance of students embarking on the field-specific thesis they will write under the direction of their advisor in ENGL 78900. In sum, we believe the 2-course thesis sequence will improve MA theses in the following ways:

1) Students will be more likely to complete ENGL 78900 with a “P” (rather than a grade of “Satisfactory Progress” that must later be converted through a change of grade form when the thesis is complete);

2) Faculty advisors will be able to do more in-depth, field-specific work with students who would come to ENGL 78900 with a familiarity with (and draft of) their thesis proposals and an understanding of the thesis form;

3) Students will be familiar with departmental standards and expectations for theses before enrolling in ENGL 78900; 4) Students will receive essential, dedicated instruction in research writing beyond what is possible in the structure of an

independent study; 5) The new course will alleviate the burden on 1st readers/thesis advisors to both introduce the thesis form to students

while simultaneously instructing students to field-specific interventions with which their thesis engages.

We propose that the additional course be a part of our existing 10 course 30-unit program and that the units for this course would come from reducing the number of Independent Study unit options from 6 to 3 (i.e. students would be allowed just one independent study course within their 30 credits, rather than 2. Thus, the proposed Thesis Research and Writing Methods course would be added as the third required course in the program—in addition to a pre-1800 course and ENGL 78900, currently the only required courses in the program). Under our current structure, most students already use at least one of their independent study options as preparation for or advancement of a project they develop into their thesis, so the proposed program change simply formalizes the way many students in our department have been using their independent study options in the program.

In sum, the addition of a new course—a 2-course thesis sequence—will provide essential, dedicated instruction in research writing not offered formally elsewhere in the curriculum, while cultivating students’ specialization leading to their theses. The addition of a second thesis course also addresses the foreshortening of the semester in which students file (given that students must have their theses approved by their 1st Reader/advisor nearly a month before the end of the semester to meet Arts and Sciences thesis deadlines), and introduces students to the formal elements of the thesis as a genre, clarifies departmental standards and expectations, and provides students with more support and writing practice to meet this standard.

C. Rationale: A single paragraph of justification. It has become clear that having CSCI 13500 and 13600 listed as separate classes when they are in fact inseparable is problematic.

This would be resolved by having one four-credit class, which requires updating the Major. Credit counts have been adjusted to correct an error.

D. List Program Learning Outcomes: By the end of this program, students will be able to: 1. Employ the fundamental concepts and theories of the discipline of computer science as specified by professional organizations

such as the Association for Computing Machinery. They should: A. Demonstrate an understanding of the basic foundations and relevant applications of mathematics and statistics, particularly those

branches related to computer science. B. Demonstrate an understanding of the overarching relationships between hardware and software, i.e., computer architectures,

software systems and operating systems. C. Display knowledge of the theory of computation and algorithms, e.g., formal languages, Turing machines, etc. D. Display knowledge of at least two area disciplines within computer science: e.g., artificial intelligence, computer theory, formal

methods, etc.

2. Formulate, analyze and solve computing problems. They should:

A. Be proficient in writing and reading programs sufficient to implement and study algorithms. B. Be able to apply principles of design and analysis in creating substantive projects involving programs and algorithmic design, and

have experience working in teams on projects of moderately realistic scope. 3. Be prepared to pursue advanced studies in the field and to assume professional responsibilities. They should:

A. Be able to communicate effectively, both in writing and in oral presentations. B. Demonstrate an understanding of the ethical concerns typically arising in the context of computing. C. Be competitive when applying to graduate schools should they so choose. D. Graduate prepared to continue to learn throughout their careers, keeping up-to-date in a quickly developing field. In particular,

they should be able to read and assimilate scientific and technical material independently – from textbooks, journal articles and other level-appropriate sources. E.

AIII.8. Curriculum revisions for Classical Archaeology leading to the Bachelor of Arts Degree DEPARTMENT of CLASSICAL and ORIENTAL STUDIES Hunter College, CUNY


Name of the Program and Degree Award: Archaeology BA HEGIS Code: 2203.00 NY State Program Code Number: 02495 MHC Code: 60139 Effective Term: Fall 2020

A. HISTORY AND OBJECTIVES Detailed Description of Proposed Modifications:

These proposed revisions make several changes to the course listings in classical archaeology offered by the department, as follows:

1. All classical archaeology courses now will carry the prefix “CLARC,” replacing “CLA,” which has been used in the past for all classical culture courses, as well as for all classical archaeology courses. A total of 15 course listings will show the new prefix. 2. Four classes will undergo changes in level (200- v. 300-level):

CLA 22500 to CLARC 32100: Archaeology of Egypt CLA 22700 to CLARC 32500: Archaeology of the Eastern Mediterranean CLA 22600 to CLARC 32400: Archaeology of the Western Mediterranean CLA 33000 to CLARC 23000: Field Seminar in Archaeology

3. Two classes, one taught experimentally and one taught as a special topics course in the past, are proposed as New Courses, to give them a permanent place in the curriculum; both also are proposed as Writing Intensive Courses:

CLA 30664 to CLARC 32600: Hellenistic Archaeology CLA 32800 to CLARC 23000: Theory and Methods in Classical Archaeology

4. One course is added to the pool of required courses for the major in classical archaeology. Now, either CLARC 22200: Roman Archaeology I or CLARC 22300: Roman Archaeology II may be chosen in partial fulfillment of the required courses.

5. The co-requisite of ancient language study (Greek or Latin) has been corrected to 12 credit hours. History and Objectives

In the past, all archaeology courses offered by the Department of Classical and Oriental Studies bore the prefix of CLA, used also for all classical culture courses, taught in English, with no clear labelling or prefix distinction between them. Over time, course offerings in classical archaeology have expanded to constitute a full-fledged major and to incorporate contributions of new faculty. Other classes, originating with the archaeology program’s founder, Clairève Grandjouan (dept. chair 1968-1982), or with other early faculty, have dropped out of regular rotation. These additions and subtractions, sometime made in a piecemeal fashion without recourse to a consistent pattern of numeration or course-level, have resulted in the irregularities now seen in our catalogue list of course offerings. The package of proposals presented here, with its genesis in the prefix change, are intended to remedy the situation across the board.

C. Rationale: A single paragraph of justification. • Prefix change: For clarity’s sake and ease of reference, we propose this global change in prefix from CLA to CLARC for classical archaeology courses in the Classics program, which already has separate prefixes for Ancient Greek (GRK), Latin (LAT) and classical culture courses (CLA). Crucially, the prefix change also makes it possible to re-number existing courses, to bring them into line with the appropriate course levels.

D. • Course-level change: These re-numberings (200- to 300-level, 300- to 200-level) more accurately reflect how each course currently is taught and what students may expect as to reading assignments, writing assignments, material presented, etc. They bring a greater overall consistency and alignment of courses to the program.

E. • New course proposals: Thus far, both courses (CLARC 32500: Hellenistic Archaeology; CLARC 23000: Theory and Methods in Classical Archaeology) have been taught two or three times apiece, as experimental courses. They will continue to be taught in the future; we consider them integral to the array of archaeology course offerings. As such, they need to be established as permanent courses.

• Major course requirement: In 2015, the Department’s single-course survey, CLA 22200: Roman Archaeology, officially was replaced by a pair of one-semester courses: CLA 22200: Roman Archaeology I: Etruscans, Monarchy, Republic, and CLA 22300: Roman Archaeology II: The Roman Empire. At that time, both courses were intended to serve as part of the sequence of required courses for the major in classical archaeology; inadvertently, CLA 22300 was dropped from the list. This is a correction to the oversight. • Co-requisite of Greek or Latin: A small correction to the number of course hours for the co-requisite in ancient language (Greek or Latin) study. In a previous configuration of courses (including intensive courses), it was possible to reach a total of 14 hours after intermediate level. Since Pathways, these courses have 3 credits apiece, so only a total of 12 credit hours is possible. List Program Learning Outcomes: Outcomes for Classical Archaeology major Upon completion of this major, students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate understanding Latin or ancient Greek at an intermediate level from a range of periods and genres; this should include the ability to translate, and to recognize and explain features of morphology, grammar, and syntax using the appropriate technical terminology. 2. Gather, analyze, and interpret information from a variety of sources and points of view by gaining knowl-edge of major monuments and artifacts from a wide range of societies across the ancient Mediterranean world. 3. Discuss in broad outline the significant literary, cultural, and historical developments of the ancient Mediterranean world, with appropriate attention to textual evidence, material culture, archaeological evidence, and modern critical approaches. 4. Pose meaningful questions of archaeological evidence, material culture, and ancient texts, and design projects to answer these questions that utilize current research methods and resources in the field.

A. HISTORY AND OBJECTIVES

Detailed Description of Proposed Modifications: • Prefix change: In the past, required coursework for the Classical Studies – BA degree has called for “12 credits of courses with a CLA prefix, including two courses at the 300 level,” and the lists comprised courses in classical culture, classical literature (in English) and classical archaeology, all carrying the same CLA prefix. Now, with the new CLARC prefix, the archaeology courses will be clearly distinguished, and the catalogue statement on electives may be revised to: “12 credits of courses with a CLA or a CLARC prefix, including two courses at the 300 level.”

History and Objectives

For clarity’s sake and ease of reference, we propose this global change in prefix from CLA to CLARC for classical archaeology courses in the Classics Division, which already has separate prefixes for Ancient Greek (GRK), Latin (LAT) and classical culture courses (CLA). Crucially, the prefix change also makes it possible to re-number existing courses, to bring them into line with the appropriate course level.

Name of the Program and Degree Award: Minor in Classical Archaeology

Effective Term: Fall 2020

G. HISTORY AND OBJECTIVES Detailed Description of Proposed Modifications:

A broad set of changes proposed for the Classical Archaeology (Interdepartmental) – BA program, also applies to the Minor in Classical Archaeology, as listed and explained below:

1. All classical archaeology courses now will carry the prefix “CLARC,” replacing “CLA” which has been used in the past for all classical culture courses, as well as for all classical archaeology courses. A total of 15 course listings will show the new prefix. 2. Four classes will undergo changes in level (200- v. 300-level):

CLA 22500 to CLARC 32100 Archaeology of Egypt CLA 22700 to CLARC 32500 Archaeology of the Eastern Mediterranean CLA 22600 to CLARC 32400 Archaeology of the Western Mediterranean CLA 33000 to CLARC 23000 Field Seminar in Archaeology

3. Two classes, one taught previously as a special topics course and the other as an experimental course, are proposed as New Courses, to give them a permanent place in the curriculum; both also proposed as Writing Intensive Courses:

CLA 30664 to CLARC 32600 Hellenistic Archaeology CLA 32800 to CLARC 32800 Theory and Methods in Classical Archaeology

4. One course is added to the pool of required courses for the major in classical archaeology. Now, either CLARC 22200 Roman Archaeology I or CLARC Roman Archaeology II may be chosen in partial fulfillment of the required courses. History and Objectives

In the past, all archaeology courses offered by the Department of Classical and Oriental Studies bore

the prefix of CLA, used also for all classical culture courses, taught in English, with no clear labelling or prefix distinction between them. Over time, course offerings in classical archaeology have expanded to create a full-fledged major and to incorporate contributions of new faculty. Other classes, originating with the archaeology program’s founder, Clairève Grandjouan (dept. chair 1968-1982), or with other early faculty, have dropped out of regular rotation. These additions and subtractions, sometime made in a piecemeal fashion without recourse to a consistent pattern of numeration or course-level, have resulted in the irregularities now seen in our catalogue list of course offerings. The package of proposals presented here, with its genesis in the prefix change, are intended to remedy the situation across the board.

I. Rationale: A single paragraph of justification. • Prefix change: For clarity’s sake and ease of reference, we propose this global change in prefix from CLA to CLARC for classical archaeology courses in the Classics Division, which already has separate prefixes for Ancient Greek (GRK), Latin (LAT) and classical culture courses (CLA). Crucially, the prefix change also makes it possible to re-number existing courses, to bring them into line with the appropriate course level.

J. • Course-level change: These re-numberings (200 to 300-level, 300- to 200-level) more accurately reflect how each course currently is taught and what students may expect as to reading assignments, writing assignments, material presented, etc. They bring a greater overall consistency and alignment of courses to the program.

K. • New course proposals: Thus far, both courses (CLARC 32500 Hellenistic Archaeology; CLARC 23000 Theory and Methods in Classical Archaeology) have been taught two or three times apiece, as special-topics courses. They will continue to be taught in the future; we consider them integral to the array of archaeology course offerings. As such, they need to be established as permanent courses. • Major course requirement: In 2015, the Department’s single-course survey, CLA 22200 Roman Archaeology, officially was replaced by a pair of one-semester courses: CLA 22200 Roman Archaeology I: Etruscans, Monarchy, Republic, and CLA 22300 Roman Archaeology II: The Roman Empire. At that time, both courses were intended to serve as part of the sequence of required courses for the major and also the minor in classical archaeology; inadvertently, CLA 22300 was dropped from the list. This is a correction to the oversight. List Program Learning Outcomes: Outcomes for the Minor in Classical Archaeology These courses will provide the student with a broad overview of the material cultures of the ancient Classical and Near Eastern civilizations and serve as an introduction to the methodologies, investigative techniques and analyses employed in the field of archaeology.

AIII.13 Proposed Changes in Minor in Classical Studies DEPARTMENT of CLASSICAL and ORIENTAL STUDIES Hunter College, CUNY Name of the Program and Degree Award: Classical Studies - Minor Effective Term: Fall 2020


Detailed Description of Proposed Modifications: B.

• All classical archaeology courses now will carry the prefix “CLARC,” replacing “CLA” which has been used in the past for all classical culture courses, as well as for all classical archaeology courses. A total of 15 course listings will show the new prefix. History and Objectives

As relevant specifically to the Minor in Classical Studies, the proposed modifications will have the following effects: • Prefix change: In the past, required coursework for the Classical Studies – BA has called for “One course with a CLA prefix at the 200- or 300- level (e.g. literature in translation or upper-level culture courses),” and the course pool included classical archaeology courses as well, because they, too, carried the same CLA prefix. Now, with the new CLARC prefix, the archaeology courses will be clearly dis-tinguished, and the catalogue statement on electives may be revised to: “One course with a CLA or CLARC prefix at the 200- or 300-level.” Since CLARC 20400 Introduction to Archaeology is the pre-requisite for all other classical archaeology courses, that in effect would be the one possible choice, for most students pursuing a Minor in Classical Studies.

C.

List Program Learning Outcomes: Outcomes for the Minor in Classical Studies: These courses will provide the student with a broad overview of the significant literary, cultural, and historical developments of two major civilizations, Greek and Roman, of the ancient Mediterranean world; they also serve as an introduction to the methodologies, investigative techniques and analyses employed in the study of these ancient civilizations.

A. Nature of the proposed course: 1. If the proposed course is part of a new academic program, refer to the overall objectives of the program (i.e., on a

cover sheet or Appendix) NA

2. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rationale that includes: a. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e., student, departmental,

community, job market needs); This course is a new requirement for the Master’s degree in Anthropology. The existing MA does not include a required course focused specifically on methods and research design. It was previously the case that most MA students went on to doctoral programs where they acquired these skills. More students are now interested in applying anthropological knowledge in non-academic jobs, and for these students a basic knowledge of research design and methods is needed.

b. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin; The course also serves as a general exposure to all the subfields of the discipline as students are no longer required to takes introductory survey courses in each. It teaches students the framework of research design applicable to most anthropological research, and gives hands-on experience with methods and techniques of each subfield. Students will hone the skills most relevant to their primary subfield of interest in the electives they chose from that subfield

c. The way in which the course relates to courses in other departments, divisional or interdisciplinary programs (if appropriate, possibilities for interdisciplinary use might be given);

This course is specifically tailored to the discipline of Anthropology

d. Justification for any substantial overlap with other courses in the college curriculum, indicating the unique/specific

focus of the course proposed; None.

e. Please specify if this course was offered as a topics or experimental course in the past and state the prefix and number.

B. The following additional information must be supplied in the special instances noted: 1. When ENGL 12000 is to be specified as a Pre- or co-requisite, the rationale must justify this in terms of the writing that

is to be done in the course. 2. In the case of courses given in non-organized classes such as field work, internship, independent study, etc., an

explanation must be given as to how the student will earn the credits consistent with the student effort required in organized classes. It should be noted that a course may not carry more credits than contact hours. Laboratory courses usually carry one credit per two contact hours.

3. Course Description:

A. A brief description for the College Catalog.

Ethical concerns are frequently ignored in technical fields but as a society we are discovering their immense importance. Algorithms can have unintended affects due to hidden bias, security and privacy can be affected negatively when decisions are made for technical merit or user convenience, and social networks have resulted in issues ranging from fake news to echo chambers and more. In this course, we will explore ethical issues in computer science through a combination of programming assignments, case studies and discussions of current events.

B. Writing Requirement:

Students will complete and deliver an in-class presentation on a current topic relating to Ethics and Computer Science. This presentation will be accompanied with a paper of 5 to 10 pages similarly covering the material explored and presented.

4. Rationale: (Justification)

A) Nature of the proposed course: 1. If the proposed course is part of a new academic program, refer to the overall objectives of the program (I.e on a

cover sheet or Appendicies): N/A

2. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rational that includes: a) The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e. student, departmental,

community, job market needs): Technologists and Computer Scientists are trained in their academic and technical fields but rarely in the ethical impacts. Biases, unintended consequences, accessibility and other ethical concepts are rarely considered. In the past few years, it has been made apparent that technology professionals and computer scientists would greatly benefit from a course that immerses students in some of the ethical concerns that relate to computer science.

b) The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin; The department of origin does not currently offer any courses in computer ethics on any level. In addition to being appropriate for the programs in Computer Science Education, the course will be of value to students in the Computer Science Master’s Program.

c) The way in which the course relates to courses in other departments, divisional or interdisciplinary programs (if appropriate, possibilities for interdisciplinary use might be given); No other departments offer an equivalent course. As the course requires CSCI 70300 as a pre- or co- requisite, it is unlikely that students in other programs would be able to enroll.

d) Justification for any substantial overlap with other courses in the college curriculum, indicating the

unique/specific focus of the course proposed; There is no substantial overlap with other courses.

e) Please specify if this course was offered as a topics or experimental course in the past and state the prefix and number. N/A

• Course Description: A. A brief description for the College Catalog.

Thesis Research in Literature, Language, and Theory introduces students to the scholarly thesis as a form and develops students’ research writing skills, culminating in a formal thesis proposal. The course also addresses pragmatic elements of thesis composition

including presenting different strategies for time management and introducing students to the administrative processes related to thesis writing and approval within the Department). Several models of successful thesis proposals and theses will be presented for discussion and analysis.

B. Writing Requirement: the number of papers and their approximate length, the extent to which library or electronic

research is expected, or a statement of other writing requirements. Any absence of a formal writing requirement must be specified. Presentation: Anatomy of a Scholarly Essay (10%) Summary/Strong Response, 2-3 pages (10%) Annotated Bibliography, 10-12 sources (10%) Literature Review, 3-5 pages (10%) Thesis proposal, 10 pages (30%) BlackBoard Forum posts (10%)

• Rationale: (Do not remove questions)


cover sheet or Appendix) The proposed course is part of a program change from a 1 course thesis requirement to a 2 course thesis requirement. It directly contributes to the learning outcome of the program that states: “Students will make original arguments about literary texts supported by analysis.” This course will provide fundamental instruction in the form of a thesis, the scope of a thesis argument, the essential elements of a thesis proposal, and practice in research writing on the specialized project the will further develop with their thesis advisor in ENGL 78900.

2. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rationale that includes: a. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e., student, departmental,

community, job market needs); The addition of this course will enhance the English MA in Literature, Language, and Theory in the following ways: 1) Students will be more likely to complete ENGL 78900 with a “P” (rather than a grade of “Satisfactory Progress”

that must later be converted through a change of grade form when the thesis is complete); 2) Faculty advisors will be able to do more in-depth, field-specific work with students who would come to ENGL

78900 with a familiarity with (and draft of) their thesis proposals and an understanding of the thesis form; 3) Students will be familiar with departmental standards and expectations for theses before enrolling in ENGL

78900;

4) Students will receive essential, dedicated instruction in research writing beyond what is possible in the

structure of an independent study; 5) The new course will alleviate the burden on 1st readers/thesis advisors to both introduce the thesis form to

students while simultaneously instructing students to field-specific interventions with which their thesis engages.


The proposed course will be a prerequisite for ENGL 78900. It will provide students with the opportunity to workshop their thesis proposals with their peers as well as their instructor, facilitating broader conversations in our program about the kinds of interventions theses make in scholarship in advance of students embarking on the field-specific thesis they will write under the direction of their advisor in ENGL 78900. This, in turn, will enable faculty thesis advisors to provide more in-depth, field-specific instruction since the basic questions of thesis proposal and thesis form have been introduced.

N/A


number. This course has not been offered as an experimental or topics course.

f. List of courses, if any, which are to be withdrawn when the new course is adopted. No specific course will be withdrawn; however, we propose a change to the program which limits the number of independent study courses a student can take as part of the degree program from 2 courses to 1. Under our current structure, most students already use at least one of their independent study options as preparation for or advancement of a project they develop into their thesis, so the proposed program change simply formalizes the way many students in our department have been using their independent study options in the program.

The Mediterranean world from Alexander the Great through the rise of Rome; trends in architecture, sculpture, painting, mosaics and city planning, reflecting the period’s history and philosophies (ca. 350 – 31 BCE). Focuses on the sites of Alexandria, Pergamon, Delos, Athens, Rome.

D. Writing Requirement: the number of papers and their approximate length, the extent to which library or electronic research is expected, or a statement of other writing requirements. Any absence of a formal writing requirement must be specified.

Three writing assignments: Introductory Museum Exercise (ca. 2 pp.), Term Paper I (ca. 6-8 pp.), Term Paper II (ca. 6-8 pp.). The first and third assignments require museum visits, close observation of artifacts on display, followed by library and electronic research. The second involves writing an annotated bibliography on an aspect of Alexander the Great, in order to sharpen research skills. Please note: ca. 55% of the course grade is based on written work – a total of 35% from the three writing assignments, plus the MidTerm and Final Examinations (10% + 10%).



cover sheet or Appendix) 2. If the proposed course is part of an established academic program, present a rationale that includes:

a. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e., student, departmental, community, job market needs). The proposed course supplies a “missing link” in the chronological sequence of classical archaeology courses currently offered by the Classics Division.

b. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin. It bridges the historical gap between CLARC 22100 Greek Archaeology and CLARC 22200 Roman Archaeology I, by focusing on the three centuries from the time of Alexander the Great (ca. 350 BCE) through the rise of the Roman Empire under Augustus (31 BCE), a period of complex political developments, rich material culture and landmark monuments, such as the Winged Victory of Samothrace in the Louvre.

c. The way in which the course relates to courses in other departments, divisional or interdisciplinary programs (if appropriate, possibilities for interdisciplinary use might be given). Given its strong historical component, this course will provide a supplement to CLA 30658 / HIST 30200 Greek History, CLA 30757 / HIST 30300 Roman History, and CLA 20200 Hellenistic Civilization (although this last is not a course that has been taught in recent years).

d. Justification for any substantial overlap with other courses in the college curriculum, indicating the unique/specific focus of the course proposed. CLARC 32600 Hellenistic Archaeology may overlap to a limited degree with the above-mentioned Archaeology courses, CLA 22100 and CLA 22200; likewise, there may be some limited overlap with ARTH 21500 Greek Art and with ARTH 21600 Roman Art with the expectation of more detailed analysis, research and historical background. These four classes are broader survey courses, however, taught at the 200-level, whereas CLARC 32600 is a more advanced 300-level course, dedicated specifically to the Hellenistic period, with the expectation of more detailed analysis, research and historical background.

e. Please specify if this course was offered as a topics or experimental course in the past and state the prefix and number. CLARC 32600 Hellenistic Archaeology has been offered as a special topics / experimental course three times in the past, under the following numbers: CLA 30664 (Spring 2012), CLA 24061 (Fall 2014) and CLA 30664

(Fall 2017). The intent of this new course proposal is to convert this special topics course into a permanent course offering in the Hunter College undergraduate catalogue. This particular course conversion is one of a series of revisions to the Archaeology course offerings, now with the new prefix of CLARC, all undertaken to strengthen and systematize coursework for the Archaeology major, now arranged in a logical ascending sequence.

f. List of courses, if any, which are to be withdrawn when the new course is adopted. No courses will be withdrawn with the adoption of CLARC 32600.



As indicated above, CLA 32600 includes a significant component of assigned expository writing, in addition to the essays that form part of the Midterm and Final Exams (ca. 55% of the course grade is based on written work), hence the justification for ENGL 12000 as a pre-requisite for the course. This class is proposed as a Writing Intensive course.

E. A brief description for the College Catalog.

Archaeology as a comprehensive discipline of historical inquiry through analysis of material culture, as studied in the Mediterranean basin and the Ancient Near East. This course includes fieldwork strategies, survey, stratigraphic excavation, ceramic and numismatic analysis, artifact and data processing and documentation, management and protection of cultural heritage.

F. Writing Requirement: the number of papers and their approximate length, the extent to which library or electronic

research is expected, or a statement of other writing requirements. Any absence of a formal writing requirement must be specified.

The Term Paper and Presentation (40%) includes a 6–10-page research paper that also provides the basis for a 15-minute class presentation at the end of the semester. The Final Exam (30%) takes the form of a written proposal for a fully developed archaeological project using methodologies studied throughout the course.





a. The advantages offered by the proposal and/or the needs met by the course (i.e., student, departmental, community, job market needs). Unlike most of our other course offerings, dedicated to a specific time period or geographical area, this upper-level class instead examines aspects of archaeological inquiry and investigation, theory and innovations in research, more extensively, across the entire Mediterranean region and the Ancient Near East.

b. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin. Key concepts in archaeological theory and methods already are presented in CLA 20400 Introduction to Archaeology, the core required first course in the Archaeology sequence. This 300-level course moves beyond introductory concepts to present overarching models of cultural change, as detected though a range of technical archaeological approaches to landscape, to societal processes and to material culture research. Its broad bibliography, related to distinctive Mediterranean and Ancient Near Eastern geographies, supplements all the other 200- and 300- level Archaeology courses in the sequence, providing them with a theoretical and methodological backbone.

c. The way in which the course relates to courses in other departments, divisional or interdisciplinary programs (if appropriate, possibilities for interdisciplinary use might be given). This course may offer some overlap with the following Anthropology course: ANTHC 12700, listed as a course for the Minor in Anthropological Archaeology.

d. Justification for any substantial overlap with other courses in the college curriculum, indicating the unique/specific focus of the course proposed.

CLARC 32800, however, is a course offered at a higher level of study, and is specifically designed to complement the sequence of classes for the Classical Archaeology BA. As such, the course material and examples used for discussion focus primarily on the Mediterranean and the Ancient Near East, from the Paleolithic through the Roman periods.


number. CLARC 32800 Theory and Methods in Classical Archaeology has been offered twice in the past, in Spring 2015 and Spring 2018, as an experimental course, with the prefix and number CLA 32800.

f. List of courses, if any, which are to be withdrawn when the new course is adopted. No courses will be withdrawn with the adoption of CLARC 32800.



As listed above under Course Description/Writing Requirement, CLA 32800 includes a 6-10 page research paper and a written archaeological project proposal as part of the Final Exam, hence the justification for ENGL 12000 as a pre-requisite for the course.

2. In the case of courses given in non-organized classes such as field work, intern-ship, independent study, etc., an

A. A brief description for the College Catalog. ARTCR79200 provides instruction to assist in the writing component of the MFA student’s thesis presentation. It may be taken in advance of or simultaneously with the penultimate semester, the thesis exhibition semester. Students must have completed 24 credits (one half of the program) prior to taking ARTCR79200. The class will focus on student writing skills in general with the specific goal of instructing them in the skills and knowledge required to write a successful thesis statement. The thesis statement is an essential requirement in that professional work as an artist requires regular writing to explain work to the public, apply for professional opportunities, etc. The class will be taught by one instructor who may tap other faculty or outside experts to aid in instruction in specific topics. Instruction will relate self-defined student artwork with assigned writing projects.



This is a writing course that will require students to complete a minimum of six writing assignments of varying lengths in response to reading assignments as well as their understanding of their studio work and their self-understanding as artists. A written thesis statement as required for earning the degree will be produced in class, 5 – 15 pages in length. This may be used for the student’s thesis submission, or re-written in the last semester, as needed by the individual student.






community, job market needs); The MFA Thesis Project, the concluding requirement for the MFA degree, had two components, the thesis exhibition and the thesis statement, overseen by one faculty member. The department seeks to treat the two parts as independent units taught by two instructors with expertise in the two elements. This change to two sections taught by two faculty members will assist the MFA thesis candidate to acquire knowledge and skills in each aspect of the thesis project. Instruction can be more particularized in accordance with the knowledge and skills of each faculty member.

b. The way in which the proposed course relates to other courses within the department of origin; The thesis presentation is the final component of the student’s participation in the MFA program and calls on students to exceed their previous production and present work in public that can offer a platform for professional participation in the art world after graduation. In this sense, the writing section capitalizes on all previous student experience, including the art history requirements in the program, making use of this knowledge and building on it.


Thesis writing does not have any specific relation to courses offered in other departments. In some instances, student work done in other departments may play a role in a student’s thesis presentation.

A. Description: Students will read some of the masterpieces of Portuguese and Brazilian literature. Presented in chronological order, this survey of the tradition touches on key intellectual, social, and political developments that marked literary production in Portuguese, notably the colonization of Brazil and the birth of its own literary tradition. The course fosters creative writing as well as critical thinking through literary analysis. The course is taught in Portuguese.

B. Writing Requirement: Students will write two papers and one poem in Portuguese. Both papers require an in-depth analysis of any literary work presented in the course. These papers should be five pages in length. They will be graded on content and quality of writing. The poem should be an original composition modeled on the themes, verse, and format of poetic works presented in the course. This assignment is graded on originality and quality of writing.

Effective Term: Fall, 2020 Rationale: As part of the re-focused Anthropology MA program, this course will continue to serve as a common introduction for all incoming MA students. It remains a graduate-level survey of the history, methods, theory, and basic findings of comparative anthropological research (ethnology); it is being renamed in order to avoid unnecessary archaism in our program of study. Further, the specification “cultural and social” is removed from the description to avoid misunderstanding about the contribution the course makes to the overall MA curriculum. This class remains a general introduction to social theory and anthropological (ethnological) research.

Description Limited to matriculated students in MFA program who have completed 42 graduate credits. Independent research toward the MFA project under direction of faculty member.

This class centers on the development and completion of artwork for the student’s MFA thesis exhibition. Student works closely with their faculty thesis advisor, meeting regularly as research and work for the exhibition evolves. The faculty advisor helps the student envision and plan the logistics of where and how their work will be installed and displayed in the gallery. The thesis work also serves as a launch into the professional art world and establishes the conceptual and art historical parameters necessary for an ongoing studio practice. Participation in the exhibition represents the successful culmination of the student’s MFA studies.

� Rationale:

The outcome of this course used to be an exhibition and a written thesis supervised by a studio arts professor. The written portion was not well served by this structure. From now on the written thesis will be supervised in a separate new course by a dedicated writing professor. This reduces this course’s credits and work hours in half.

Rationale: Prefix change: For clarity’s sake and ease of reference, we propose this global change in prefix from CLA to CLARC for classical archaeology courses in the Classics Division, which already has separate prefixes for Ancient Greek (GRK), Latin (LAT) and classical culture courses (CLA). Crucially, the prefix change also makes it possible to re-number existing courses, to bring them into line with the appropriate course levels, where deemed necessary. Please note: CLA 20200 Hellenistic Civilization is affected by this prefix change only in so far as CLARC 20400 (formerly CLA 20400) is listed as a possible prerequisite course; hence this routine change.

Crucially, the prefix change also makes it possible to re-number existing courses, to bring them into line with the appropriate course levels, where deemed necessary. Additionally, as part of the larger package of changes to the Classical Archaeology BA, we also note: Major course requirement: In 2015, the Department’s single-course survey, CLA 22200 Roman Archaeology, officially was replaced by a pair of one-semester courses: CLA 22200 Roman Archaeology I: Etruscans, Monarchy, Republic, and CLA 22300 Roman Archaeology II: The Roman Empire. At that time, both courses were intended to serve as part of the sequence of required courses for the major and the minor in classical archaeology; inadvertently, CLA 22300 was dropped from the list. This is a correction to the oversight. Separate change of program proposals have been submitted for this.

3. Rationale: Since its inception many years ago, CSCI 13600 (Supervised Programming Lab) has served as an adjunct to CSCI 13500. Over the years it has become an integral part of 13500. Some students, however, pass one class and not the other which puts them at a severe disadvantage when repeating the failed class. In addition, because 13600 is not required for the regular major some students find that their tuition assistance won't cover the cost of the class. Since 13600 is required for the Bioinformatics Concentration, students who pass 13500 and not 13600 cannot easily change from the regular major to the bioinformatics concentration. Combining the two classes would eliminate all these problems and clarify the interdependence of classroom and "lab" time for the students. 4. Consultation Statement:

Effective Term: Fall 2020 Rationale: Currently, the prerequisites for CHEM 35200 are MATH 15500 and PHYS 12100. However, we believe that the course material for Math 15500 is not sufficient to fully engage in Chem 35200 Physical chemistry I class. Particularly, the material depends on derivatives and differential calculus, both topics being covered in MATH 25000. Some time ago, MATH 25000 was dropped and we would like to add it back. According to the mapping of the of the Chem Major I and Chem Major II/Option I programs, changing the pre-reqs for the CHEM 35200 to include MATH 25000 will not affect the students' progress towards graduation. The class is suggested to be taken in Year 2/Fall, whereas CHEM 35200 class is suggested for Year 3. Majority of the students, in fact, take the MATH 25000 course before and they excel in the course. However, the students who will not follow the map and had not taken the class before, struggle a lot with the material. Such adjustment in prerequisites would be beneficial for the chemistry majors and general understanding of the class. • Consultation Statement:

d) Is the proposed change likely to affect other Departments, units, or programs? [ ] NO [ x ] YES – If yes, list department/program: Math department

Specify the nature of the consultation: we had informed Math Department about changing the pre-req and the rational about it. It will not affect math enrollment since these courses are required for our major anyway, we are just trying to force students to follow the map panning and take it as it is planned for them so they can succeed in class and earn a good grade.
