Committee priorities and planning for the year:

  • Create structures and processes to help faculty with new courses and revisions.
  • Make a checklist of required items for a review process.
  • Syllabi will not be reviewed by the committee unless the correct syllabus template is used. Add wording and link to CPF form.
