The Course Binder Preparation Process for this Term 3 stages of course binders preparation process: About 65 binder in their first stage (divider 1 only – course planning) About 20 binders in their second stage (remaining dividers All unoffered electives will be done later Departments will assign 1-2 course binders for each faculty member Assignment is made by the dept chair Preferred is the course coordinator Hopefully (left to depts), cooperation between both sections Hopefully (left to the dean and VDoD): Courses repeated across depts be done once for no duplicate efforts We will worry first about courses offered already, other unoffered elective courses will be considered later 4/30/2011FCIT8

The Course Binder Preparation Process for this Term Coaching: All coaches college-wide are available for your help and will provide all possible assistant Coaches are mentors who should give you max possible support: to answer your questions, review your work, … They are responsible for the first line review before submitting to AIMS The internal Auditor will finally review all submitted information and come back with comments and recommendations 4/30/2011FCIT9

4/30/2011FCIT18 A Sample Course Binder Go through all sections of divider 1 (Course Planning Divider) Appendix A: Course Syllabus

First set of Sections Needed (Divider 1) Please try to provide us (according to the described process) the following: Course Description Course Goals Topics Covered; Topic/Chapter Subsections (major ones only) Time devoted (in hrs) for this topic Marks allocation Contribution to Program’s SLOs Contribution to Program’s Professional Components with % 4/30/2011FCIT19

Student Outcomes (SLOs) Statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to skills, knowledge, and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program. On the level of the Program Each Course has to specify its contribution to the SLOs 4/30/2011FCIT20

Student Outcomes – Common to all Programs (a) An ability to apply knowledge of computing and mathematics appropriate to the discipline (b) An ability to analyze a problem, and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution (c) An ability to design, implement, and evaluate a computer-based system, process, component, or program to meet desired needs (d) An ability to function effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal (e) An understanding of professional, ethical, legal, security and social issues and responsibilities (f) An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences (g) An ability to analyze the local and global impact of computing on individuals, organizations, and society (h) Recognition of the need for and an ability to engage in continuing professional development (i) An ability to use current techniques, skills, and tools necessary for computing practice. 4/30/2011FCIT21

Student Outcomes -- CS (j) An ability to apply mathematical foundations, algorithmic principles, and computer science theory in the modeling and design of computer-based systems in a way that demonstrates comprehension of the tradeoffs involved in design choices. [CS] (k) An ability to apply design and development principles in the construction of software systems of varying complexity. [CS] 4/30/2011FCIT22

Student Outcomes -- IS (j) An understanding of processes that support the delivery and management of information systems within a specific application environment. [IS] 4/30/2011FCIT23

Student Outcomes -- IT (j) An ability to use and apply current technical concepts and practices in the core information technologies. [IT] (k) An ability to identify and analyze user needs and take them into account in the selection, creation, evaluation and administration of computer-based systems. [IT] (l) An ability to effectively integrate IT-based solutions into the user environment. [IT] (m) An understanding of best practices and standards and their application. [IT] (n) An ability to assist in the creation of an effective project plan. [IT] 4/30/2011FCIT24

SLO Contribution -- Example CPIS380 4/30/2011FCIT25 b) An ability to analyse a problem, and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution 3 C) An ability to design, implement, and evaluate a computer-based system, process, component, or program to meet desired needs 3 d) An ability to function effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal e) An understanding of professional, ethical, legal, security and social issues and responsibilities 1 f) An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences g) An ability to analyse the local and global impact of computing on individuals, organizations, and society h) Recognition of the need for and an ability to engage in continuing professional development 1 i) An ability to use current techniques, skills, and tools necessary for computing practice j) An understanding of processes that support the delivery and management of information systems within a specific application environment.
