General Education: Writing Emphasis Course Approval
1. Instructors who intend to offer a WE course should get the approval of their chairpersons and then send the course syllabus to the Associate Dean of the Liberal Arts and Sciences (TH335) prior to the Timetable deadline.
2. The Associate Dean, acting on behalf of the General Education Council, will review the course syllabus to assure that it meets the WE guidelines listed on the back of this sheet. If the course clearly conforms to the guidelines, the Associate Dean will approve the course and notify the Registrar, and the Registrar will identify the course as WE-approved in the next Timetable or Addendum. If the cosurse does not meet the guidelines, the Associate Dean will contact the instructor to discuss ways in which the syllabus might be revised to meet the guidelines.
3. The General Education Council (GEC) is responsible for monitoring and regularly evaluating the WE program. Courses which do not conform to the guidelines or which are determined by the GEC to be ineffective in achieving the goals of the program will be removed from the WE course list.
