Curriculum Committe Notes:

Course Description

  • Provide a brief course description directed to students; can be as simple as a list of major course topics.
  • Doesn’t have to be complete sentences.
  • Do not make promises or guarantees.
  • Avoid saying “Student will…”

Course justification

  • Answers the question: “why is this course being proposed?” or “why do we hqave this course?”
  • Unlike the catalog description, which is intended to be read by students, the course justification is read by the curriculum committee, articulation officers, administrators, and faculty.
  • Indicate if course is part of a program or family.
