• In October IA is hosting a series of mid-term luncheons for the 68 new China partner students to review individual student mid-term academic progress and cultural adjustment status.

• In October IA sponsored a workshop for China partner students: Life after Missouri S&T. The purpose of the event was to introduce the students to graduate and employment opportunities. Our staff was joined by staff from COER, and the Office of Graduate Studies.

• On October 10, 2013 IA organized the visit of a delegation from Zhongyuan University which is interested in developing a Memorandum of Understanding with Missouri S&T

Global Learning Online Non-credit Courses

• Opportunities exist for departments to augment their budgets by offering non-credit online courses.

• Working professionals need to remain current in their

fields yet often can not return for advanced degrees. • Non-credit online courses provide an alternative way

for faculty to share their expertise by recording a course that is then archived for future student viewing.

• Two series in Paint Technology and Pipeline Technology have been produced resulting in the revenue on the following slide.

Strategic Planning: Theme 1 – Develop and Inspire Creative

Thinkers and Leaders and Life-long Success

Lever 1.1 : Require all undergraduate students to participate in a significant experiential learning activity before

graduation Cawlfield is Lever Leader

Page 21: Faculty Senate Meeting  November 14, 2013

Action 1.1.1 and 1.1.2• Create a definition and begin building a comprehensive

list of activities that are supported by research as significant experiential activities (Target: completion by December 2013)

• Lever/Action 1.1.2 : Incorporate experiential/service learning into the core curriculum in all degree programs at any level beginning in the freshmen year [Target: Faculty Senate approval of each curriculum by completion of second year of strategic plan (complete by June 2015)]

Page 22: Faculty Senate Meeting  November 14, 2013

Completed to date and future work remaining:• Research by UGS office: how do comparator institutions and TRU’s

define “experiential learning”?• First draft definition of “significant experiential learning activity”

developed and presented to Provost direct reports at the Academic Affairs retreat in August. Circulated to Student Affairs for input.

• Second draft circulated to faculty for input by department chairs. • Final definition and guidelines to be submitted to Provost by mid-

November. Faculty in each degree program will develop/regulate their own comprehensive list of activities that will count as “significant experiential learning” within the spirit of the definition and guidelines approved by the Provost.

• Office of Undergraduate Studies will work with degree programs to develop mechanisms for tracking and assessing completion by each student as part of Degree Audit.

Page 23: Faculty Senate Meeting  November 14, 2013

From the Current Draft Document: Definition and Implementation Guidelines

Key Elements of Experiential Learning

Student centered rather than teacher centered Active learning rather than passive learning Application of learned principles to form realistic solutions to problems, issues and challenges Reflection upon the learning experience.

General Definition

Experiential learning at Missouri S&T is an opportunity for students to engage in applying what they are learning through structured activities that differ significantly from the traditional lecture format. By creating varied experiential learning activities, it allows students to learn in an environment that aligns with their aptitude. These are hands-on activities that involve collaboration and reflective learning requiring students to go beyond mastering basic skills and content to the application of that material and engaging in problem solving challenges.

Page 24: Faculty Senate Meeting  November 14, 2013

Implementation Guidelines for Missouri S&TTo qualify:

1. The activity must be University sponsored or affiliated and the student must receive written approval of the activity from a faculty member or academic advisor in the student’s degree program. Approval of the initial activity does not automatically imply approval of the overall experience.

2. The faculty member or academic advisor will ensure that the activity is of significant duration, intensity and rigor to demonstrate successful application of learned principles appropriate to the expectations of the degree program faculty (it may be that more than one activity could be combined to create a suite of experiential learning activities for a single student that may be approved in satisfaction of this requirement).

3. The focus must be on “learning by doing” in a creative and innovative activity that generally falls outside the realm of the traditional structured classroom experience and contributes significantly to professional and personal development allowing students to reflect on contributions to the S&T or broader community in addition to the student’s development.

4. Finally, a significant experiential learning activity will include a written summary reflection piece that will document the experience from the student’s perspective; this written reflection piece should be of a quality suitable for inclusion as an attachment to a co-curricular transcript or in an e-portfolio that might be submitted by the student to potential employers or to graduate school admissions committees.

LLRC 26 Sept

• MU System Library Cuts– 2% for FY2014 plus $250,000 inflationary– Missouri S&T portion: $54,500 + $46,000

added to a list for future consideration should the budget allow

Page 49: Faculty Senate Meeting  November 14, 2013

Library Resource Strategy

• Reliant on faculty input for resource priorities• Move toward electronic resources• Examining cuts to budget with per-use cost

– Less utilized resources move to ILL access– Move toward system publishing ‘package’ access

Page 50: Faculty Senate Meeting  November 14, 2013

Library Services• Building availability

– Increased inter-break and in-semester open hours– Personnel cost tradeoffs

• Building reallocation– Building space and organization

• Resource availability (re)allocation– Work with faculty to optimize resource availability– Per use costs; academic needs (e.g., business school)

• Services– ILL delivery, resource education (ugrad, grad, faculty)

Need for Accreditation of the Existing Program

• The Saudi Ministry of Higher Education does not currently grant accreditation to distance learning programs sponsored solely by foreign universities, but recognizing the cooperation of KSU on the Missouri S&T diploma will help show the cooperation between both universities, thereby facilitating accreditation.

Student Academic Affairs Committee

Recommendations:1. The period from 5:00-6:00 pm daily is to be reserved for common exams.2. If a class or other required academic activity is scheduled during common exam time, the instructor of the class that conflicts with the common exam will provide accommodations for the students taking the common exam.

The next three slides contain background information presented at the October 24 Faculty Senate meeting.

Department Chairs Subcommittee

Summary of Recommendations:1. Keep common exams.2. One hour across the week should be reserved for common exams. Suggested times: 7:00 am, 12:00 pm (MWF), and 5:00 pm. Need at least three days a week. 3. If a class is scheduled during a common exam time, the instructor of the class that conflicts with the common exam should be prepared to accommodate the students taking the common exam. 4. Flagging the conflicts as prerequisites are flagged in order to send information to students and instructors is not feasible. This also would require that the instructors and students resolve the issue on a case-by-case basis.
