CurCom Phase 2.2

The Curriculum Committee Phase 2.2 seeks faculty votes on key objectives including the general affirmation of academic emphases and core/foundation structure. The purpose is to enhance clarity in communication regarding curricular changes and offerings to the broader audience—administration, students, and parents. Important focal areas include production, screenwriting, and animation, with an emphasis on flexibility and improved educational pathways. Faculty involvement is crucial to address remaining details and ensure an informed choice for students.

  1. CurComPhase 2.2

  2. Phase 2.2 • Objectives: • Up or down vote on Emphases (in the abstract) • Vote to affirm the Core/Foundation structure • Reminder • We have to present a full package to the faculty • Votes today are intended to help guide the CurCom

  3. Phase 2.2 • Emphases • Purpose • Clarity in what we do – communicating to: • World at large • Administration • Students and parents • Students • Informed choice • Following a more coherent path

  4. Phase 2.2 • Emphases • What are they … (names will come later) • Production • Animation • Screenwriting • Studies • Flexibility • Up to 12 units outside the major • Units outside the student’s emphasis

  5. Phase 2.2 • Emphases • Anticipated issues • Quelling the (supposedly predicted) student revolution • More than what students get now • CINE202/04 Introduction to Production • With a hands-on component • Dedicated sections (CINE204) • Revisions to Studies curriculum: • Incorporating more digital exercises, etc. • Building in the requirement that students take courses outside their emphasis

  6. Phase 2.2 • Emphases • Discussion • Motion: • By recommendation of the CurCom we encourage that the faculty affirm the general principle of Emphases – understanding that significant details remain to be addressed. • Vote • Simply voting for the general principle of Emphases • “Green-light” to move forward with this … • Or, give us the “red-light” (and buy us a round of drinks, and we’ll call it a day … )

  7. Phase 2.2 • Emphases • Crafting the Emphases • Scott and Weimin: Production Emphasis Sub-Committee • Jennifer: Screenwriting Emphasis Sub-Committee • Aaron: Animation Emphasis Sub-Committee • Jennifer and Aaron: Studies Emphasis Sub-Committee

  8. Phase 2.2 • Core/Foundation • General idea of the 3-Year Program • Beginning, intermediate, advanced • Core/Foundation • The beginning • Introduction to the basic principles • No major changes to existing structure • Changes • Moved most of the courses into lower-division (Sophomore year) • Consolidation of GWAR (changing CINE353 into a GWAR course) • Counting lower-division units towards the major (alleviating pressure up the line)

  9. Phase 2.2 • Core/Foundation (21 units – including the possible one unit course) • Sophomore Year Core Courses: • CINE200 (3 units) • CINE202/04 (4 units) • INTRODUCTION TO PRODUCTION W/ HANDS ON COMPONENT • CINE211 History I (3 units) • CINE212 History II (3 units) • Articulation issues: • Solves the problem of transfer students paying twice • TMC/SB1440 • CINE3XX – One Unit Advising Module (?) • Junior Year Foundation Courses: • GWAR (3 units) – either CINE353 or CINE303 • CINE340/41 – (4 units)

  10. Phase 2.2 Core/Foundation Model based on a standard student’s trajectory

  11. Phase 2.2 • Core/Foundation • Anticipated issues • Volume of courses • Critical to the beginning, intermediate, advanced progression • These are not separate from the individual Emphases • Pushed back to the Sophomore level • i.e., most of the Junior/Senior level is dedicated to more specialized work in Emphases • “Articulate-able” • Transfer students can hit the ground running • Reduces pressure on the history courses

  12. Phase 2.2 • Core/Foundation • Discussion • Motion: • The CurCom recommends that the faculty affirm the revisions to the Core/Foundation of the Undergraduate curriculum. • Vote • Affirming the Core/Foundation structure • Yes or no
