Listing of Course Committees for the 2017-2019 Term

In the College of Information Sciences and Technology, undergraduate courses are updated and maintained by course committees. Committee membership is determined by general knowledge of the content associated with the course and frequency and/or recency of teaching experience with the course.

In general, the role of the course committee is to work closely with the Associate Dean of Graduate and Undergraduate Studies and/or the Director of Graduate and Undergraduate Academic Affairs to a) maintain agreement on the common 80% of the course, b) coordinate assessment efforts when asked, and c) respond to course-related questions and concerns. Specific responsibilities of course committees follow.

CHAIR responsibilities include:

• responding to requests for documentation about the course
• reviewing course substitution requests (courses taken outside of Penn State to substitute for required College of IST courses)
• calling and facilitating meetings of the committee to discuss issues pertaining to the course, when necessary
• communicating committee recommendations to faculty and/or administrators
• discussing the course with faculty who are newly assigned to teach the course

COMMITTEE MEMBER responsibilities include:

• sharing course materials and best practices with instructors assigned to teach the course
  • Note: Information about courses resides on the College of IST teaching site: https://teaching.ist.psu.edu/
  • Note: Statewide Faculty Meetings are another venue for sharing materials and best practices
• championing the revision of the course, when called for by the faculty
• participating in the development and deployment of assessment tools (rubrics or tests) for use in curricular assessment process, when asked
• reviewing and responding to issues raised about the course
• consulting with PSU World Campus on course development, when requested
