GLOBE Procedures
The following procedures have been approved by the GLOBE committee.
- Attribute Tagging Procedure - Existing Courses - Spring 2023
-
Curriculog will be used for the attribute tagging process. Departments will be asked to provide evidence that the course satisfies the Senate-approved Learning Outcomes. A copy of a course syllabus (including the relevant learning outcomes) and a brief justification of how the course meets the outcomes will be required to complete the form. Departments are expected to participate in assessment of GLOBE learning outcomes using evidence from courses tagged for different attributes.
- Course Prefixes and Academic Divisions
-
Policy approved by College Senate Fall 2023:
Course prefixes eligible to satisfy GLOBE attribute tagging for content areas are as follows:
Scientific Reasoning: ASTR, BIOL, BCHM, CHEM, GSCI, PHYS (Special cases - GEOG 111/112, HONR 205/215)
Social science: ANTH, COMN, ECON, GEOG, PLSC, PSYC, SOCL, SUST (Special cases - AMST 262, HONR 203, WGST 203)
Humanities: AMST, BLKS, ENGL, HIST, HUMN, PHIL, WGST, and all languages above 100 level (Special cases - HONR 209)
Arts: ARTH, DANC, FMST, MUSC, PASC, THEA (Special cases - HONR 204, BLKS 225, ENGL 290, ENGL 102, 201, COMM 267)
Old Procedure:
Prefixes are coded to count for a single academic division by default, as follows:
Natural science: ASTR, BIOL, BCHM, CHEM, GSCI, PHYS
Social science: ANTH, COMN, ECON, GEOG, PLSC, PSYC, SOCL, SUST
Humanities: AMST, BLKS, ENGL, HIST, PHIL, WGST, and all languages above 100 level
Arts: ARTH, DANC, FMST, MUSC, PASC, THEA
Any department that would like a course in their prefix to count as a different division of the college, and a different general education area, may present a syllabus to the GLOBE committee. The syllabus should demonstrate that the course’s learning outcomes match those of the alternative academic division and that course activities and assessments are designed to help students meet those outcomes.
