See the discussion below regarding the issues of interest to the Course Evaluation Subcommittee and the checklist of required documents. The Curriculum Specialist will review the form for completeness and flag missing information for the division office to complete. For a change to an existing course, the Subcommittee will focus upon the boxes you have completed in the bottom half of the form as they want to know what you are proposing to change and how it is to be changed. They will then read the reason for the change and assess its reasonableness. The Subcommittee does not spend much time with a request to inactivate or delete a course.
Greater attention is given to changes in lecture or laboratory hours.
If you alter the lecture or laboratory hours you will need to supply a fresh copy of the course outline, pages 2 to 5 only. The Subcommittee will want to know how the course objectives, scope or activities have changed to correspond to the change in lecture or laboratory contact time. The Subcommittee also looks carefully at changes to class size maximum. If you alter the class size maximum, you need to adhere to the college guidelines by which a lecture class is set at a uniform maximum of 40 students. Laboratory classes are ideally set to a maximum of 35 students, but the essential point is to determine the number of workstations in the classroom normally used for the course and to determine how many students can share a workstation.
