Curriculum Committee Agenda for 17 April 1996:

* Discussion of proposed change to CIS 737 (cross-listing with ISWE,
  Psychology, Speech & Hearing, Philosophy, and Linguistics) (Leon;
  10 minutes)
  
  Leon's summary of this is as follows:
  
  "The proposal is to change the credit hours of CIS 737 (Proseminar in
   Cognitive Science) from 2 to 2-5. CIS 737 is cross-listed in ISWE,
   Psychology, Speech & Hearing, Philosophy, and Linguistics. It is felt that
   that a variable number of hours can accommodate the goals of different
   instructors and allow them to respond to the changing educational needs 
   of students as the field changes. The proposal considers three possible
   types:
    * Proseminar only: 2 credits, one 2 period class (like now).
    * Instructor lectures + guest lectures: 3 credits, two 1.5 period classes.
    * Co-taught, interdisciplinary intro to cogsci: 5 credits, three 1.5 period
      classes."

* Discussion of proposed change to faculty loads algorithm to use
  credit hours, not courses, as the basis for computation; while
  remaining neutral with respect to total classes taught by faculty
