Ex-officio: Russ Morgan. Absent: Jongnam Choi, Patrick McGinty. Ex-officio: Judi Dallinger, Candace McLaughlin, Chairperson Cynthia Struthers called the meeting to order at 3:35 p.m. in 207A Morgan Hall. The Minutes from November 4 were unanimously approved, with the correction that Jess White had been absent from that meeting. General Education Assessment Update: The data distributed by Associate Provost Judi Dallinger following the November 4 meeting clarified that Goals 5 data had no glaring anomalies. However, Dr. Dallingers breakdown of the assessment results by Department within each goal indicated that 60% of the students assessed on Goal 6 in the Health Sciences (HS) Departments General Education courses did not meet the goal, compared to 10% of Kinesiology General Education students and 8% of FCS Gen Ed students. Members of the Council wondered if in fact the numbers for the HS results had been reversed at some point, and asked that Associate Provost Dallinger look into the HS Departments data further to ensure that it was being correctly reported to the Council. A discussion of the purposes of collecting the data ensued. John Miller clarified that the assessment data is included primarily for use by the departments, but that WIU is also expected to report on assessment of student learning in General Education courses to outside accrediting bodies. It was also noted that we have data for only three semesters (Fall 2008, Fall 2009, and Spring/Summer 2010) and that the data from the first semester (Fall 2008) is particularly fragmentary, as only one section (not all sections) of each Gen Ed course was asked to report assessment data to CGE that semester. Illinois Basic Skills Test Follow-Up: Diana Allen of the English and Journalism Department provided an update on English 100 (remedial writing) enrollments. In Fall 2009, 18% (61) of the 335 students who completed English 100 received a grade of U (Unsatisfactory); 11 of the original 346 students withdrew from the course. In Spring 2010, 25% (11) of the 42 students who completed English 100 received a grade of U (Unsatisfactory); 9 of the original 51 students withdrew from the course. Associate Dean Russ Morgan reported that Alice Robertson, Director of the Writing Program, and Mark Mossman, Chair of English and Journalism, met with the College of Arts and Sciences Faculty Council on November 17 and reported that 40% of entering freshmen in Fall 2010 were placed into English 100; the percentage of freshmen unready for English 180 had never before been higher than 25%. At next months Faculty Council meeting, Math Department representatives will report on enrollments in Math 099, the remedial Mathematics course for those students admitted to WIU who are unready for college-level mathematics. Council members then discussed the place of writing in the General Education curriculum, the requirement that all General Education courses include some writing, and whether merely having students write would lead to improvements in their grammar if they were not required to correct their grammatical errors. Diana Allen also pointed out that reading for comprehension, the fourth portion of the states Basic Skills Test for all teacher education students (in addition to grammar, essay writing, and math), did not belong to any one department and also needed to be stressed throughout the General Education curriculum. She suggested that a remedial reading comprehension course might be needed, as a precursor to other General Education courses. Faculty Senate Bylaws for Council on General Education Chairperson Struthers led the Council in a continuation of its discussion of the Senate Bylaws pertaining to CGE, starting with duty e. The proposed revisions are attached in a separate document. At its next meeting, the Council will consider how to organize the list of duties in its proposed revision of the Bylaws. After clarification from Dr. Struthers that the Councils next meeting will be on 2 December in 207A at 3:30 p.m., the Council adjourned at 4:40 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Ginny Boynton, CGE Secretary      PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 1  !#,BCDLUiv       & ( H S x y z {   T U W X ɹὩ͹šřřŕh;|huRhvhvh>ih|ih6h|ih|i6h4 hhm9h4Zh|ih5Y&hzhkhz5htht{ h4Z5 h5hkhb5hkht{59!BCD  y z { V W X } ~   X Y gd5Y&gdt{$a$gdt{X } ~  ( 6 7 w }gl&GHocu9:;Uz)29@AXo hv;hh[w"h;|h4Zh;|h;|5 h;|5hQ4hch9 hv5hvhvhuRhuRhuR5HHI:;}~/0MOPRSUVXgd-gd[w"gdt{o{ MNPQSTVWYZqrstvwxyķh.RhmHnHuh-jh-Uh*/jh*/UhR@hh4 h>ihzh/h[w"h5Mhhv'XYuvwxygdt{$a$21h:pb/ =!"#$% b 666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666662 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~PJ_HmH nH sH tH @`@ bNormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA D Default Paragraph FontRiR 0 Table Normal4 l4a (k ( 0No List 6U6 F0 Hyperlink >*B*ph44 -0Header  H$66 -0 Header CharCJaJ4 @"4 -0Footer  H$616 -0 Footer CharCJaJ8A8 uRobject27>*S*Y(phPK![Content_Types].xmlj0Eжr(΢Iw},-j4 wP-t#bΙ{UTU^hd}㨫)*1P' ^W0)T9<l#$yi};~@(Hu* Dנz/0ǰ $ X3aZ,D0j~3߶b~i>3\`?/[G\!-Rk.sԻ..a濭?PK!֧6 _rels/.relsj0 }Q%v/C/}(h"O = C?hv=Ʌ%[xp{۵_Pѣ<1H0ORBdJE4b$q_6LR7`0̞O,En7Lib/SeеPK!kytheme/theme/themeManager.xml M @}w7c(EbˮCAǠҟ7՛K Y, e.|,H,lxɴIsQ}#Ր ֵ+!,^$j=GW)E+& 8PK!Ptheme/theme/theme1.xmlYOo6w toc'vuر-MniP@I}úama[إ4:lЯGRX^6؊>$ !)O^rC$y@/yH*񄴽)޵߻UDb`}"qۋJחX^)I`nEp)liV[]1M<OP6r=zgbIguSebORD۫qu gZo~ٺlAplxpT0+[}`jzAV2Fi@qv֬5\|ʜ̭NleXdsjcs7f W+Ն7`g ȘJj|h(KD- dXiJ؇(x$( :;˹!
