ANGEL - My Course Submission and Consultation - Printable Webpage https://cms.psu.edu/profile/psucps/cpsPrintable.asp?cpid=16508 N14 Name: Department: MATERIALS SCI & Joan M. Redwing ENGR Position: Head of Department Campus: UNIVERSITY PARK CAMPUS Title: PROF MATSE/EE&ASC HD GRAD (1) Concur:Yes Comments: Reviewed On: 10/26/2011 10:39:00 AM Name: Brent Yarnal Department: GEOGRAPHY Position: College Representative Campus: UNIVERSITY PARK CAMPUS Title: PROF GEOG/STS & ASC HEAD Concur:Pending The Following Action By The Initiator (2) Comments: There are several things that are easy to fix, but need repair to get by the Graduate Council's standing Subcommittee on New and Revised Programs and Courses. (1) The Subcommittee has been encouraging proposers to write more understandable abbreviated titles for courses because they appear on student transcripts. I recommend "Prof Development" or "Professional Devel." (2) Under "Instructional, Educational, and Course Objectives," the current text does not really give course objectives; instead it repeats much of the narrative given in earlier sections of the proposal. I recommend that you rewrite this section, perhaps saying something like, "At the end of this course, students will understand seven [pick a number] basic issues to consider in the responsible conduct of research, know the origin of ethics and the pro-social outcome of ethical behavior, be able to formulate their own career path, etc." (3) "Mandatory class participation" is not an evaluation method. A statement such as "One hundred percent of student grades will be based on class participation." (4) "Relationship/Linkage of Course to Other Courses": You cannot link to 597 courses; you can only link to formal courses listed in the course catalog. If the course has no links to other courses, it is okay to say so. (5) "Relationship of Course to Major, Option, Minor, or General Education": the statement about SARI is insufficient; it should be the last statement in this section. You should state first that this course is a required course for MS and PhD students; if it needs to fall in a sequence with other required courses, you should also state that here. Reviewed On: 11/2/2011 10:53:00 AM Response: On 11/2/2011 10:22:01 PM AMANDA AULT Responded: The proposal has been updated.

ANGEL - My Course Submission and Consultation - Printable Webpage https://cms.psu.edu/profile/psucps/cpsPrintable.asp?cpid=16508 N15 Name: Department: GRAD SCHOOL ASSOC Henry Foley/erc DEANS OFFICE Position: Dean of the Graduate School Campus: UNIVERSITY PARK CAMPUS Title: Executive Director of Graduate Education Administration Concur:Pending The Following Action By The Initiator (5) Comments: Consider adding "Materials Science and Engineering" to the course title to identify the course as specific to MATSC. For the abbreviated title, "MATSE PROF DEVELOP" would work. If this change is made, also update the title of the course in the Long Course Description and in the Relationship of Course to Major... section. In the brief outline of the course content and the listing of major topics, define "lecture" as a measure of time--some courses have lectures that last for three hours; others are 1.25 hours or 1 hour. Perhaps use weeks or days instead of lectures for the allotment of time? Proofread the Long Course Description to be certain that it reads as intended; some apparently plural words appear to be missing the "s" at the end. This description will be published in the Graduate Bulletin. Reviewed On: 11/20/2011 2:46:00 PM Response: On 11/28/2011 9:55:13 AM AMANDA AULT Responded: Changes have been made. The long course description has been proofread and the faculty instructor concludes that it is correct. Concur:Pending The Following Action By The Initiator (6) Comments: Thank you for addressing my earlier feedback. Please also update the title of the course in two other places: the Long Course Description, and the Relationship of Course to Major... section. Reviewed On: 11/28/2011 1:46:00 PM Response: On 12/13/2011 8:47:46 PM AMANDA AULT Responded: The course title has been updated in both places. Thank you. (7) Concur:Yes Comments: Reviewed On: 12/15/2011 11:53:00 PM Name: Department: GRAD SCHOOL ASSOC Richard Young/erc DEANS OFFICE Position: Graduate School Subcommittee Representative Campus: UNIVERSITY PARK CAMPUS Title: Executive Director of Graduate Education Administration Concur:Pending The Following Action By The Initiator (8) Comments: The Subcommittee notes that the proposed Evaluation Method, “One hundred percent of student grades will be based on class participation,” falls outside of normal and acceptable practice as the basis for evaluation and assignment of quality grades in graduate courses; in particular, it would seem that accurate documentation of the degree of class participation would be difficult in support of differential quality grades. The Subcommittee requests that the proposer revise or expand the description of this evaluation method to support the feasibility of this basis for evaluating graduate students; an alternative is to consider requesting an exception from the Dean of the Graduate School to use Pass/Fail grading for this course if the proposer feels that the course meets the criteria (see “Pass/Fail Grading System” at http://www.gradsch.psu.edu/policies /faculty/passfail.html). In addition, the Subcommittee asks that the proposer explain the term “pathological research,” which is used in the Listing of Major Topics and in the Long Course Description (which will be published in the Graduate Bulletin). This term is familiar to Subcommittee members with respect to the medical field, but it is unclear how 4 of 5 4/30/2012 2:25 PM
