Soft opening (training for curriculum committees;
curriculum specialists; admins); test so ready for January when everyone comes back

Manuals for both general and admins
BCC is asking for more time due to Program Review;
o timeline—data verification couple hours;
o Cleavon willing to help in the process;
o v2 will still be open and if big problems they will correct them; need to work out the kinks while it is live;
o reason for soft opening and so the information is accurate;
o final push will be where we check everything
is still there;
o 2nd migration is when you should look in detail
Merritt—not enough support;

Adding a 3rd category to type of course (activity)
Question from Merritt: BIOL 1A all contact hours at campuses are different; Laney correct (5 in class; 10 out of class); other colleges different;
Activity: homework for the lab; override in CNET; has
to be a district change;
Chancellor’s conference brought up; also in art and music; moved homework hours into class hours (2 for 1) because don’t have equipment at home
Opportunity to look at our courses and see if there needs to be change
GEOL 1L: requisites
and scheduling
inconsistency
Issue has come up in BCC with student signed up for
1 as 8w2 and 1L as full-semester; so unprepared for the lab section; need to be careful about scheduling;
o ANTH, GEOG and GEOL have short term lecture; issue of content and pedagogy;
o bring in these departments to discuss this issue and consult;
include data to show how students react to short term and full semester courses; already difference between colleges and sections;
o go back to colleges and discuss if the student
Discuss with ANTH, GEOG, and GEOL depts about separate lec/lab courses (can students take the lab w/o the lecture)
All campuses
