Schedule conflict: 

Agenda:
  1. Syllabi for Programming course labs
    COP-2210, COP-2250, COP-4610
    
    Simplify class offerings:
      Large class size (max 150)
      with independent several lab sections (each with max 49)
      Follows similiar to Biology Dept.
    All labs will have a suffix "L" with zero credit.
    The course grade will include significant value (about 25%) for lab scores.
    Preferably a correspondence from each lab to a lecture  
    A subcommittee needs to evaluate and create lab syllabus
      and relate to the course syllabus
      Subcommittee: Richard (Chair), Debra, Cristy, Joselyn, AntonioH, Sergio, Erica
                    Advisor: Tim
      Meet in Feb 1st week, complete recommendation due before Feb 20th.
 
  2. Evaluate MAS-3105 Linear Algebra for CS Foundation group elective
     Prereq: MAC-2312(Calculus II) "C"
  UGC supports adding MAS-3105 to Foundations elective group
  This needs faculty approval and then a CS catalog change in future.
      
  3. MAD-3305, MAD-4203 (include COT-3100 as alternate prereq -- Math dept)
   UGC supports this proposal - Send email to math.

  4. Python programming course for all SCIS majors (will be revisited at the next meeting)
    Python: create two different syllabi for COP-2210(CS) and COP-2250(IT)
    Java: revise COP-3337(CS) and COP-3804(IT)
  
  5. Two-year BS-CS Assessment review (deferred to the next meeting)
