Discussion Items
- Apportionment-
Fall scheduling “Supervised Tutoring”, impact on faculty lab times. (10 min.)
Lori S. is of the belief that administration would like to begin claiming apportionment asap (Fall). This means that the Supervised Tutoring course needs to be put on the schedule at the upcoming scheduling meetings in March. Additionally, Lori S. noted that it would be preferable for faculty lab hours to be spread out, if possible, in order to claim more time. Vicki recommended that we take a look at the C.O.R. for the Supervised Tutoring course. Amble noted that it may be more feasible to develop support courses instead. General consensus was that we need an entire meeting devoted to apportionment and that we will invite Dr. Minor to attend.
