Undergraduate –Chemistry and Physics

Prerequisites:  High School Algebra II

Corequisites:   None

Prerequisites:  None

Corequisites:   PHY 1020 Intro. to Phys.

Course Description: This course is the laboratory that explores the topics covered in the PHY 1020 Introduction to Physics lecture course. The experiments will involve laboratory exercises dealing with kinematics of free fall and projectile motion, forces and motion, laws of conservation of energy and momentum, optical laws of reflection and refraction, the behavior of lenses, basic electric circuits, electromagnetic forces, standing waves, and heat phenomena. (A laboratory fee of $25 will be assessed.) No new faculty or additional resources are required for this course. 

In order to increase our scheduling flexibility we are terminating the combined lecture and laboratory course, PHY 1020C, and creating new lecture (PHY 1020) and new laboratory (PHY 1020L) courses. This will benefit our department as well as our students. APC1 forms for these two new courses accompany this request.
PHY 1020C is a 3 SH combined lecture and laboratory class. PHY 1020 will be a 2 SH lecture and PHY 1020L a 1 SH laboratory.

In order to increase the amount of material that can be covered in this course we are seeking to increase the number of semester hours by one semester hour. Therefore, the course will be worth 4 semester hours in the future rather than the current 3 semester hours.

We are seeking to decrease the number of semester hours by two semester hours for this course. The physics faculty believe that the amount of work in this course should be worth one semester hour rather than three. Therefore, the course will be worth 1-semester hours in the future rather than the current 3 semester hours.

Currently, students can take this course for 2 to 4 semester hours of credit. We would like to change this to 1 to 4 semester hours of credit.
Note: May be repeated up to 12 hours for credit under different topics.

Summary of the Changes:
1) We are seeking to change the number of credit hours for PHY 4910 Physics Research and Seminar from 3 SH to 1 SH. and
2) We are seeking to change the number of credit hours for PHY 4523 Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics from 3 SH to 4 SH.
Both of these courses are major requirements within the physics major, and taking these two steps will reduce the number of credit hours required for the major by 1 SH. The 1 SH will go to the free electives to keep the program at 120 SH. (Click here to view the program of study)

Summary of the Changes:
We request the following changes to the program of study for the Chemistry:
1) Separate General Chemistry I , CHM2045C,  into General Chemistry I (CHM2045) Lecture and General Chemistry I Laboratory (CHM2045L) courses. Separate General Chemistry II, CHM2046C, into General Chemistry II (CHM2046) Lecture and General Chemistry I Laboratory (CHM2046L) courses. In the CHM2045C and CHM2046C courses, the laboratory sections are tied to the lecture section.  Each laboratory section conducts the same set of experiments.  The separation of the lecture and laboratory components of the course will add more flexibility, for both students and the department, in scheduling of laboratory sections when the laboratory sections are not tied to a specific lecture section. The change will also allow transfer students who have completed the laboratory portion, but not the lecture portion of the course, to transfer credit for the laboratory course.
2) Terminate CHM3610C (4.0) Inorganic Chemistry, a combined lecture and laboratory course that is a major requirement, and replace it with two new courses CHM3610 Inorganic Chemistry (3.0) and CHM3610L Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory (1.0) as a potential course for the minor.
3)  Add the new course CHM4620 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry (3.0) as an elective course for the minor.
4)  Add the new course CHM4200 Solid State Chemistry (3.0) as a potential course for the minor.
5) Change the number of credit hours for Modern Analytical Chemistry CHM4130C, which is currently a five-credit course with three credits for lecture and two for laboratory.  As part of a curriculum
re-organization and with American Chemical Society re-accreditation in mind we are requesting that the course be reduced to four credits (three credit lecture and one credit lab) which will make it the same as other senior level, in-depth topic courses that have a laboratory associated with the course.
The change of Modern Analytical Chemistry decreases the number of credits, from 25 to 24 that Chemistry majors take as Major Requirements.  One additional credit is added to the Major Requirements.  One additional credit is added to the Major electives, increasing it from 11 to 12 credits.
The addition of CHM4200 and CHM4600 course offer our students opportunities to gain a more in-depth understanding of the area of inorganic chemistry and to complement our courses in other areas of chemistry.
The changes do not affect the total number of hours required for completion of the minor in Chemistry.

The Department of Communication, which offers four tracks of study with a core area of mass communication and a minor in communication studies, currently has an excessive number of Special Topics courses at different course levels. These courses lack unity in course title and prerequisites. Regarding this problem, the Department seeks to make uniform the Special Topics course number as 4930 and to make uniform the Special Topics course title as Special Topics in "the name of track or core area or minor." Moreover, current Special Topics courses vary in terms of repeatability. A new universal policy is now established, allowing students to repeat the course up to a total of 6 credit hours.
As a result, requested actions to this course are:
1. to change course title from "Special Topics/Seminar in Communication" to "Special Topics in Communication Studies"; and
2. to change prerequisites from "18 credits at a "C" or higher in communication studies courses including the core requirements or permission of instructor" to "COM 3XXX: Principles of Communication Studies or permission of instructor."

3. Change the course description is better described the nature of the course and its place in the curriculum. The new description states that:
New Course Description:
This course is the capstone for the Communication Major. An internship (or senior project) enhances knowledge and skills acquired from coursework through a semester-long period of supervised field experience, extensive research, or both. A minimum of 210 hours of work at the internship site are required in addition to weekly progress reports, midterm and final evaluations from the professional supervising the intern, and a portfolio in which students detail and provide self-assessment of their experiences and relate the internship experience to knowledge of theory and its application gained from the major curriculum. In rare and unique cases, a faculty-supervised research paper will be approved in lieu of internship.

Summary of the Changes:                 
The Department of Communication seeks to revise the level of COM 2000 to 3000 level. COM 3XXX: Principles of Communication Studies will replace COM 2000: Introduction to Communication Studies. This will allow other communication majors to take this theory-based course as an elective. The rigor of the class has been adapted to bring it up to 3000 level course requirements. Often after taking SPC 4064: Public Speaking for Professionals as juniors, many business students are interested in pursuing the communication studies minor. As a 3000 level course, COM 3XXX will enable business students who desire to obtain a minor in communication studies to be able to take the classes for the minor at upper-level status. This course will build upon the knowledge and skills introduced in SPC 2060: Fundamentals of Speech and/or SPC 4064: Public Speaking for Professionals.

Summary of the Changes:                 
Summary: The Department of English would like to revise this three-course curriculum. To this end we have proposed to the General Education Council, whose members have endorsed our proposal, the following curriculum, which keeps ENC 1101 and LIT 2000 and substitutes for LIT 2932 a menu of options that will give students a number of choices for their third general education writing course. (1.) ENC 1101—College Writing (3 hours; required; prerequisite to all other writing courses); (2.) LIT 2000—Introduction to Literature (3 hours; required); (3.) One 3-hour course from the following menu of courses, including LIT 2932 (Themes/Types in Literature) 3 credit hours [Prerequisites: ENC 1101 and LIT 2000]:
a. ENC 2930 (Special Topics in Composition) 3 credit hours [Prerequisite ENC1101]
b. CRW 2930 (Special Topics in Creative Writing) 3 credit hours [Prerequisites: ENC 1101 and LIT 2000]
c. ENC 2XXX (Technical Writing) 3 credit hours [Prerequisite: ENC1101]
Rationale: After taking ENC 1101, students will be free (i) to take LIT 2000 either before taking one of the courses from the menu or (ii) to take one of the courses from the menu before taking LIT 2000, (iii) unless they want to take LIT 2932 or any of the CRW courses, in which case they must first take LIT 2000.
The proposal to change the General Education writing courses is a response to (i) the UNF General Education Assessment Task Force Report, May 2007; (ii) to the SACS Comprehensive Standard 3.3.1, which requires us to be engaged in continuous improvement of student learning; and (iii) to the requirement from Academic Affairs that every department assess not only critical thinking and student writing but also its discipline-specific learning outcomes.
The current writing courses (ENC 1101, LIT 2000, and LIT 2932) address (i) and (ii). The proposal before you (ENC 1101, LIT 2000, and the choice of either a, b, or c above) addresses both (i) and (ii) as well as (iii). Because ENC2930 Special Topics in Composition is a rhetorically-based composition course that focuses on the processes of academic and applied writing within different disciplinary areas, many departments, all colleges, and Academic Affairs will be able to point to this course as contributing to the university-wide efforts to meet requirement (iii).
Research Foundations for ENC2930 Special Topics in Composition:
We have designed ENC 2930 Special Topics in Composition in light of the research in rhetoric and composition. This research argues that it is important to understand that the composing process is different in different disciplines. Thus, students will write in a variety of genres, including the argumentative essay, address a variety of audiences, and practice a variety of research strategies.  We have also designed ENC2930 Special Topics in Composition in light of the research finding that when students have more rather than fewer choices, they come into their courses with intensified motivation. We anticipate that many students will choose topics of interest within fields that may become their future majors. (Click here to view the program of study)

No new faculty or additional resources are required for this course. 

The department request a change in the course description to reflect more accurately the nature and range of the course content.
New Course Description:
The course will introduce students to writing about literature with a focus on the close reading, critical analysis, and informed appreciation of different kinds of literary texts.

The department requests changing the title of LIT 2932: Themes/Types in Literature to LIT 2932: Special Topics in Literature in order to maintain consistency with the new 2000-level writing courses offered by the Department of English.

Summary of the Changes:                 
The department requests eliminating ENG 6966 (one credit hour) -- M.A. Exam -- as a requirement for completing the M.A. Program in English, which will reduce the Program of Study from 34 hours to 33 hours.
Rationale: We believe we can (i) provide a more effective capstone experience in each student's eleventh course than they are now receiving by way of the one-credit-hour M.A. exam, (ii) increase the number of students who complete the program, and (iii) eliminate the uneven distribution of work among graduate faculty in the Department of English.

Summary of the Changes:                 
Request 1: The department requests that the 3000-level introduction to film studies class be changed to a 2000-level course. This change affects several of the film minor courses, which will now require the
FIL 2XXX - Introduction to Film Studies as a prerequisite.
Request 2: The department requests that two LAH 3XXX (Colonial Latin American History Through Film) and (Modern Latin American History Through Film) be added to the film minor options.
Request 3: The department requests that ENG 4505 (International Film) be changed to FIL 4XXX.
THE TOTAL CREDIT HOURS WOULD REMAIN 15 CREDIT HOURS.

The department requests changing the prefix for ENG 4505-International Film to FIL 4XXX-International Film.  The change reflects more accurately the category and content of the course.

The department requests FIL 3020 – Introduction to Film Studies be changed to FIL 2XXX – Introduction to Film Studies.  The change reflects the introductory content of the course and acts as a prerequisite to the Film Studies Minor. 

The department requests adding FIL 2XXX: Introduction to Film Studies as a prerequisite for the FIL 4932: Documentary Studies.

The department requests adding FIL 2XXX: Introduction to Film Studies as a prerequisite for FIL 4931: Advanced Topics in Film.

The department requests adding FIL 2XXX: Introduction to Film Studies as a prerequisite for FIL 3826: American Film.

Summary of the Changes:                 
The department requests that THE 4923 (Play Production) be changed to a variable hour course, from 1-4 credits. It is listed under the BA in English-Drama. It will remain repeatable up to 12 credit hours.
(Click here to view the program of study)

The department requests that THE 4923, which is presently a 3-credit hour course, be changed to a variable 1-4 credit hour course. The reason for the change is to increase the number of options that students have for participating with different degrees of involvement in the various aspects of putting on a major dramatic production - from working on set design to taking on a major acting role and rehearsing for two months.

Undergraduate –Psychology

Summary of the Changes:
We would like to propose a Concentration in Child Psychology. Students with the Child Psychology Concentration would have the opportunity to acquire a breadth of knowledge in a particular area of concentration and therefore have stronger applications when entering the work force. Jobs involving children and adolescents are plentiful in Florida and notation of this Concentration would potentially give our graduates with a BA in Psychology an edge over other applicants.
Psychology Majors could fulfill both degree and Concentration requirements simultaneously. Psychology Majors would graduate with a BA or BS in Psychology, and if they completed the Concentration Course Requirements, their transcripts would list that they majored in Psychology with a Concentration in Child Psychology. No additional credit hours would be required for either the BA or BS degree programs. No additional resources are required to offer the proposed Concentration. The proposed Child Psychology Concentration program of study is as follows:
Course Requirements
Prerequisites for the Concentration: Core Courses (6 credits)
CLP 4143 -- Psychology of Abnormal Behavior
DEP 3054 -- Lifespan Developmental Psychology
Major Electives (9 credits)
Select one of the following (3 credits):
DEP 4104 -- Advanced Child Psychology
DEP 4304 -- Advanced Adolescent Psychology
Select one of the following (3 credits):
CLP 4XXX -- Child Psychopathology (APC1 submitted)
DEP 4060 -- Applied Developmental Psychology
Select a total of 3 credits from the following variable credit courses (focus of research or practicum must be child or adolescent psychology):
PSY 3911 -- Supervised Research
PSY 4906 -- Directed Individual Studies (research emphasis)
PSY 4904 -- Honors Research
PSY 4945 -- Practicum in Applied Psychology
Total = 15 Credit Hours

Graduate –Psychology

Prerequisites: PSY 6971 Thesis A

Course Description:
Students will complete directed independent research and writing under the advisement of their graduate advisor and committee. Students must complete at least 3 hours of Thesis B. Students will typically enroll in 3 credit hours of Thesis B during the Spring Semester of the 2nd year of the program. For students who do not complete their thesis project after the minimum 3 credit hours of Thesis B, this course may be repeated in one hour increments for a total of six hours. Continual enrollment in PSY 6XXX Thesis B (summer exempted) is required until the Thesis project has been completed. No new faculty or additional resources are required for this course. 

Summary of the Changes:                 
The request is to add a new course PSY 6XXX (Thesis B) to the Master of Arts in General Psychology program of study and to differentiate this course from PSY 6971 Thesis A. The MAGP program currently requires students to register for two semesters of Thesis (referred to as Thesis A and Thesis B within the MAGP program). However, in the current program of study and catalog copy, Thesis A and B share the same course number, are not differentiated by title, and students are simply guided to take PSY 6971 twice. In a separate previous APC 2 form (Log # 08/09-014) we requested to change the title of the existing course PSY 6971 to Thesis A. These changes do not increase the required credit course for MAGP students.

Prerequisites: Psychology of Abnormal Behavior (CLP 4143) or Instructor Permission

Course Description:
This course provides an in-depth survey of common psychological disorders in childhood and adolescence. The characteristics, risk and protective factors, developmental course, and epidemiology of these disorders will be discussed. The course will also provide an overview of diagnostic and classification schemes, and research-based overview treatment and prevention strategies. Disorders discussed will include ADHD, learning disabilities, pervasive developmental disorders, anxiety, and depression.  No new faculty or additional resources are required for this course. 

Summary of the Changes:
We are currently revising the MACP catalog course listings and program of study for inaccuracies. Students in the MACP program are verbally advised to complete PCO 6945 Practicum (3 credit hours). However, the program of study in the Banner system and in the current catalog does not list this course requirement. In order to be consistent with our verbal advisement of what students are required to complete, PCO 6945 will need to be added to the program of study in Banner and the catalog. The addition of this course in the program of study does not increase the total number of credit requirements (60 credits) for graduation.

Undergraduate –Sociology and Anthropology

Prerequisites: None

Course Description:
This course will examine war, violence, and peace from sociological and cross-cultural perspective. The course will cover the core perspectives, ideas and analytical studies explaining the nature and causes of conflict and possibilities for its resolution. This course should provide students with a set of tools for analysis of contemporary civil and international conflict. Additionally, students will learn how to use evidence and theory effectively in explanation and argument about these conflicts.
No new faculty or additional resources are required for this course. 

Prerequisites: None

Course Description:
This course explores the anthropological perspective on the cultural, social, and biological nature of human death.  Examples of topics that will be cover include: biological definitions of death, decomposition as it relates to funeral practices, global patterns of mortuary rituals and funerary behavior, the cultural construction of death, the effects of death on the social fabric, and cultural and social facets of mourning and bereavement.  Throughout the course, students will examine the variety of social and cultural responses to the biological fact of death. In doing so, they will be exposed to the Anthropological literature that seeks to explain or interpret the tremendous variety of human behavior surrounding death and dying.  The course will be cross-cultural, holistic, and bio-cultural in its outlook and will require students to make conceptual connections between theoretical literature and empirical observations. No new faculty or additional resources are required for this course. 

Prerequisites: None

Course Description:
This course provides an overview of the pre-Columbian indigenous cultures of the North American desert west.  It begins with an examination of the pre-Hispanic societies of the region.  Lectures and readings will focus upon the appearance, evolution, and history of these traditions up through contact with Europeans.  Students will then be exposed to the cultures currently existing within northern Mexico and the southwestern U.S. including; the Apache, Opata, Rarámuri, Diné, Paiute and Ute, Yaqui, Huichol, Tohono O’odham, Hopi, Zuni, and eastern Puebloans.  The course will also explore how contact with Europeans led to changes in these societies and how current political boundaries falsely divide the cultures of the region.  Specific attention throughout the course will be placed upon a nuanced understanding of these unique cultures that is non-essentializing and non-imperialist and which does not mythologize the pre-Columbian "other". No new faculty or additional resources are required for this course. 

We are requiring the students who need to take SYA 4010 six credits of prerequisites at the  upper division level with the following prefixes: SYA, SYD, SYG, SYO, and SYP.  We have found that many students take SYA 4010 without appropriate sociology background.  By assuring that students have more exposure to sociology courses prior to enrolling in this course, they will be better prepared.

Summary of the Changes:                 
We are requesting two changes to our sociology core requirements: (1) Eliminate SYA 3930 Junior Seminar from core requirements; (2) Require BOTH SYA 3310 Qualitative Methods and SYA 3450C Social Science Data Analysis. 
We make the first request because SYA 3930 has become somewhat redundant to another core course, SYA 3300.  In an effort to make our program more efficient and streamlined, we would like to eliminate SYA3930. 
In addition, because the field of sociology increasingly represents two distinct methodological traditions, it is imperative that sociology students be exposed to both quantitative and qualitative methodologies.  Given the state of the field, we believe that students should have a broad exposure to research methodology and thus should take both qualitative and quantitative methods to reflect the disparate methods of analyzing sociological questions.  For this reason, we would like to require our students to complete both the SYA 3310 Qualitative Methods and SYA 3450C Social Science Data Analysis courses. The total semester hours for the program will not change.

Summary of the Changes:
1) The Department of World Languages proposes two new courses (FRE 3XXX French Grammar and Composition and FRE 3XXX Readings in French Literature and Culture). These courses will replace two existing French courses (FRE 3420 Advanced French Grammar and FRW 3810 Reading French Texts) in order to create (along with the existing course FRE 3283 French Listening and Speaking Skills) a coherent core of required courses for the B.A. in French Studies. These courses will prepare French Studies majors for upper-level electives in literature and culture and for advanced study abroad options. They will also serve as prerequisite courses for certain upper-level courses (appropriate APC-2s submitted). Thus they will be listed as Major Requirements in the Program Description (attached).
2) FRT 3800 French Translation Techniques was erroneously listed under Major Electives taught in English. The class is actually taught in French and is being deleted from the list of Major Electives taught in English and inserted in the list of Major Electives taught in French.).
