In October 2013, the Graduate Faculty Executive Committee (GFEC) and the University
Academic Planning Council (UAPC) approved changes to graduate degree requirements that
impact how courses may count toward the minimum graduate course work (50%) requirement
for graduate degrees. This new requirement also meets new institutional accreditation
requirements.
This email concerns a large-scale course implementation project related to these changes. A
website has been created that explains this project in
detail. http://apir.wisc.edu/grad_attribute.htm
Briefly, subject owners need to review their courses numbered 300 – 699 and indicate whether
their courses are designed for graduate work, and thus, may have the graduate course attribute
assigned. The presence of this graduate course attribute is what students, programs, and the
Graduate School will use to determine whether a course may be counted toward the minimum
graduate course work (50%) requirement.
There will be information sessions where subject owners or their representatives can ask
questions about this project. These will be held on:
Tuesday, August 26, 2014 from 9:00 - 10:00am in 1610 Engineering Hall
Friday, September 5, 2014 from 10:00 - 11:00am in 1610 Engineering Hall
The deadline for submission by subject owners is November 1, 2014.
The graduate course attribute will be entered on all appropriate courses in time for registration
for the spring 2016 term in October 2015. It is critical that the timeline outlined on the project
website (http://apir.wisc.edu/grad_attribute.htm) be honored due to the governance process for
courses, deadlines for developing the Schedule of Classes, and the various required
administrative steps.
If you have questions about what qualifies a course for the graduate course attribute, please first
refer to the guidelines approved by the University Curriculum Committeeor to the Minimum
Graduate Course Work (50%) Requirement FAQs created by the Graduate School. If you still
have remaining questions, please contact: Jennifer Martin at [email protected] or Kelly
Haslam at [email protected].
If you experience problems with accessing the files please contact Michelle Young
([email protected]). Note: Only those with "approver" access for a subject listing will be able
to access and upload course spreadsheets. Have there been changes in responsibilities that are
not reflected in the online course proposal system? If so please email me ([email protected])

PROGRAMS COMMITTEE MEETING
Friday, May 9, 2014

Attending: Darden, Gerloff, Gruben, Hamm, Johnson, McShane-Hellenbrand, D Miller, P Miller, Owczarek,
Rosenthal, Sanchez, Zulick
Absent: Steinkuehler, Shaffer, Wilkerson
Guests: Jenny Asmus, Ed Psych; Bianca Baldridge, EPS; Carolyn Kelley, ELPA; Gail Simpson, Art; Erica
Turner, EPS

AGENDA
Approval of the Minutes: April 18, 2014. Approved with no changes.
Adoption of the Agenda: May 9, 2014. Adopted with changes.

Consent Agenda:
New Course: JOURN AND MASS COMM 205 - Media Fluency for the Digital Age-PASSED

Old Business:
New Course: CURRIC 739 Assessment and Data Use for Instructional Improvement
Unfortunately unable to attend, the Committee reviewer sent notes prior to the meeting. Syllabus does not
explicitly state the criteria for grading. While some overlap in content with courses in Ed Psych, this course
seemed to be approaching the issue from the point of view of teaching and adaption of instruction, so the
reviewer thought there was no or limited conflict. One committee member indicated that several ELPA courses
could potentially overlap. Jeff Hamm noted that the course was specifically designed for the new graduate
Secondary Education program and must be taught second summer of the program sequence. This would likely
reduce the chance of content overlap. The committee noted that the title is very broad, with no reference to
Secondary Education (assuming that is the focus). With no representative from Curriculum and Instruction
present to respond to questions/concerns, the course is TABLED until September 2014.

New Business:
New Course: ED PSYCH 743 Design and Analysis of Single-Case Research
Reviewer considered course well designed and thought out, but did wonder how this research will be used in schools. He
hopes that this connection could be made clearer. The prerequisites include graduate standing, which is not necessary in
this case. One member questioned why admission to the School Psychology program was not a prerequisite, since this
course was specifically designed for that program. It was noted that instructor approval is necessary as students from
many different disciplines (e.g., Sociology, Nursing) could potentially be interested in this course. Committee
recommended alternative wording: “Admission to the School Psychology Program or Instructor Approval.”
Recommended by members to remove “this course” from course description. With changes to the prerequisite and
description this course is PASSED.

New Course: ART 393 Internships in Art
Several concerns were raised by the reviewer. A main concern was that the total amount of class meeting time
plus internship time seemed excessive for the number of credits. Proposer noted that the course is patterned
after L&S 260. Members reminded all present that standard contact hours for one credit are 15 hours face time
with an additional 30 hours of outside work. A grading scale is needed in the syllabus. Recommended that the
campus, school, and department identification, and well as the number of credits, be added to the syllabus. The
reviewer was also concerned with the paid aspect of the internship, a policy that differs across campus. Art
Department faculty expressed concern that students would be exploited if the internship was NOT paid. Dean
Hamm and Professor Simpson will explore whether this would better be designated “group” or “individual”
instruction. The reviewer had additional concerns regarding the description and requested the author rework
some sentences that suggest students are receiving credit for non-academic work. With the requested changes
this course is PASSED.

New Course: ED POL 450 Rethinking After School Education - Service Learning
This course introduces students to after school pedagogy. Course includes a service learning component for which
students are placed in different after-school sites. Relationships are established with sites/organizations. Professor
Baldridge will confer with site leaders to establish needs on both sides. The title was changed (“Service Learning”
removed) and a grading scale was added to the syllabus after the materials were distributed. One member expressed
concern that the rationale for LAS designation was not adequate. With the addition of this elaboration, the course is
PASSED.

New Course: ED POL 510 Urban School Policy
This course has been taught twice previously as a topics course. Teachers and others may be interested in course. With no
changes this course is PASSED.

New Course: DANCE 100 Understanding Dance
The course provides framework for understanding dance. The reviewer found no issues with this course. The department
is hoping that this course will go-online in future. It was noted that the School’s Liberal Studies Fine Arts requirement is
two credits; SoE students who take this course will be required to take another course. With no changes this course is
PASSED.

Academic/Program Information
Is this course intended for a new academic program for which UAPC approval has not yet been finalized?
Yes
Which program?
Curatorial Studies Certificate
Explain the relationship and importance of the proposed course to existing programs or future programs. (A program is
a certificate, major or degree.)
The exhibition course is a central requirement of the new Curatorial Studies Certificate, offering students experience in
conceptualizing and designing exhibitions, researching objects in museum collections, and communicating research to broader
publics. In the past, Art History has offered exhibition courses as seminars and pro-seminars or as part of the AH601/602
sequence of Museum studies. The new course will provide a dedicated number for exhibition courses in the Curatorial Studies
Certificate and thus will be easily recorded on the DARS Report.
Are any of these programs outside your academic unit?
No
Indicate the subjects that are most closely aligned with the other academic units. The proposal will be sent to the
academic units that support those subjects for review.
Specify which requirement(s) this course meets, if any (e.g. satisfies third-level language, meets the major's capstone
requirement, fulfills PhD minor requirement).
Meets the major's capstone pro-seminar requirement, but art history majors intending to go on to pursue graduate work will be
strongly encouraged to take a second pro-seminar.
Do any of these requirements affect programs (degrees, majors, certificates) outside your academic unit?
No
Indicate the subjects that are most closely aligned with the other academic units. The proposal will be sent to the
academic units that support those subjects for review.
Course Content
Describe the course content
The specific course content will vary, as the focus is on creating an exhibition for the Chazen Museum of Art or another campus
venue. Emphasis will be placed on the acquisition of skill sets related to curatorial practice--researching and interpreting
individual objects of study, writing wall texts and object labels, writing catalogue entries and gallery guides, preparing educational
materials and public programming in conjunction with the exhibition. As in regular pro-seminars, the students will be required to
discuss readings and prepare individual research projects.
Address the relationship of this course to other UW-Madison courses, including possible duplication of content
Previously Art History faculty have taught exhibition courses primarily as pro-seminars and seminars associated with individual
fields which may fulfill breadth requirements in the major. The new Curatorial Studies pro-seminar is designed specifically to fulfill
the requirements of the Certificate. There is also a two-semester Introduction to Museum Studies course (AH601/AH602), which
may be substituted for the AH506 exhibition pro-seminar.
Is there a relationship to courses outside your subject?
Yes
Indicate the outside affected subject(s). The proposal will be sent to those subjects for review.
