May 6, 1997

 

To: The University Senate

 

From: C&R Subcommittee on Curriculum

 

 

The Subcommittee on Curriculum reviewed and approved the requests noted below. These were forwarded to the Curriculum and Regulations Committee for appropriate action and were subsequently approved. The following summary of approvals is provided for your action/information.

 

 

Henry P. Slane College of Communications & Fine Arts

 

 

Major Modification

 

Communication

 

The Department of Communication requires one course in media production to provide a basic experience in visual communication, desktop publishing, and video narrative. For students who win continue within their various concentrations of Speech Communication, News, Advertising, or Public Relations, this course would serve as their only experience in media production. The emergence of new media communications forms into the information stream requires all students to have a basic understanding of the capabilities, aesthetics, and production environments of the constituent parts of new media. Therefore, a new core entry-level course in media production is proposed and is reflected in this modification request. The GCC has classroom space in its computer multimedia production lab and a unique course offering in Basic Multimedia Authoring to allow students the opportunity to acquire skills in the various areas of new media communications. It is no longer acceptable for communication education to be constrained within narrowly-defined areas of specialization when communications practitioners are broadening the scope of their concerns. The Department of Communication is proposing the following changes in their requirements.

 

COM 283, Desktop Basics, 1 sh, course deletion

COM 113, Introduction to Media Production, 3 sh, course addition

COM 213, Basic Multimedia Authoring, 4 sh, course modification

 

Communication Core COM 213, 4 sh, course deletion

COM 113, 3 sh, course addition

 

There will be no additional resources required from the university. Additional departmental part-time instructors will be required and have been contacted. There are no other programs currently making use of these courses which will be affected. These changes will open the enrollment in a series of multimedia production courses to students from outside the department.

 

Course Additions

 

COM 113, Introduction to Media Production, 3 sh

Course Description: Tools and aesthetics of media production: word processing, photography, audio production, videography. Visual literacy. The desktop computer interface. Desktop publishing, presentation software, multimedia documents. Internet navigation and page production

* The addition of COM 113 is in response to the need for all communication majors to have at least one course which exposes them to the environments of modern media production, including an introduction to new emerging media formats. As a core course in the Department of Communication, COM 113 will be the sole requirement in media production for all students. For students who continue within their various concentrations of Speech Communication, News, Advertising, or Public Relations, this course will serve as their practical experience focusing upon the entire range of media production. This course will be a core requirement for all communication majors. The students will acquire introductory-level competencies in the tools and basic skills of media production through lecture, demonstrations, and a package of multimedia tutorials. Student competencies will be evaluated by a series of Amastery quizzes@ following each of the media production tutorials. Each segment of the course investigating a new area of media production will result in the creation of a project to be evaluated. These projects will be assembled into a final multimedia document as the final project of the semester. The request indicates the need for additional part-time faculty. The course will be offered both semesters and in the summer. Three sections of twenty students are planned for each semester.

 

COM 399, Communication in Computer-mediated Environments, 3 sh

Course Description: Nature, function and process of communication in diverse computer-mediated environments. Enhances learners' ability to communicate competently in technologically complex computer-mediated environments.

*The convergence of communication technologies has created a new medium of communication generally called computer-mediated communication. Students need to understand the way in which this medium influences communication in interpersonal, small group, and organizational contexts. COM 399 is consistent with the movement toward convergence. Conceptually, it focuses on the convergence of interpersonal and mass communication. Industrially, it focuses on the convergence of media-related industries (public relations, advertising, journalism, and visual communication). Learners need to begin to think more carefully about relationship between communication technology and cultural change. It is increasingly important to understand the connection between technology and social change. Learners need to be encouraged to view developments in communication technology as a necessary, but not sufficient, basis for explaining significant social changes. The course has been taught twice as a Topics in Communication course. This course is a core course in the proposed Social Informatics minor. The course is consistent with the goals of interdisciplinary cooperation articulated in the recent report of the Strategic Planning Committee as well as with the university's desire to foster interdisciplinary collaboration. Contact has been made with the Department of Computer Sciences and Information Systems. There is no duplication of courses. The course will be an elective course offering in the Department of Communication as well as a required course in the Social Informatics minor. The course will be offered every semester with an anticipated enrollment of 15-25 students. No new university resources will be needed.

 

COM 437, Advertising in a Global Environment, 3 sh

Course Description: Comparative analysis of interaction among advertising, cultures, and economic, legal, and political systems. Designing and developing appropriate advertising strategies for diverse cultural markets.

Prerequisites: COM 220; MTG 315 or consent of instructor

 

*COM 437 recognizes the importance of advertising around the world and provides students with an understanding of the different approaches needed when communicating with different cultures. At present there are 140+ students in the advertising concentration in the Department of Communication. Currently those students have only two advertising courses from which to choose: COM 220, Advertising as Communication, and COM 325, Creative Advertising and Copywriting. Several new courses are being added to vitalize and lend credibility to the concentration. A theoretical and practical course in global advertising will better prepare students to function in a world that is increasingly global in scope. The curriculum objective is to offer an elective course in advertising that will help students prepare for careers in advertising or marketing by exposing them to the basic theoretical and practical concerns of delivering advertising messages for diverse audiences. Competency will be measured by weekly quizzes and a final project that will be graded as a final exam. There is currently one faculty member that can teach the course. Criteria for the two advertising faculty being sought include experience in international advertising. The course will add to students' understanding of globalization and diversification. No other department on campus offers a course that resembles the proposed offering. The Department of Marketing and International Business have been contacted for comment. The course will be offered once a year with an estimated enrollment of 10-15 students.

 

Course Modifications

 

COM 213, Basic Multimedia Authoring, 4 sh

Course Description: Acquisition and computer processing of text, photographs, video and sound files. Incorporation of processed files into documents for computer multimedia. Solving problems in visual and multimedia communications assignments. Theories and cultural effects of visual communication and new media.

Prerequisites: COM 113 or equivalent experience in computer media

Current Course Title: COM 213, Desktop Multimedia Communication, 4 sh

Current Course Description: Acquisition and computer processing of text, photographs, video and sound files. Incorporation of processed files into documents for print and for computer multimedia. Solving problems in visual and multimedia communications assignments. Theories and cultural effects of visual communication and new media.

Current Prerequisites: COM 101; COM 200; sophomore standing

*The title is modified to Basic Multimedia Authoring to more accurately describe the course content. There is a minor change in the course description: the reference to print media has been eliminated. The prerequisites have been altered to eliminate the requirement of COM 101 and COM 200 and to implement the requirement of the new COM 113 or equivalent experience in computer media. COM 213 is being deleted as a required course from the Communications core. This will open its enrollment to students throughout the university who are interested in multimedia production within the computer facilities of the Global Communications Center. The elimination of the previous COM course prerequisites will facilitate this enrollment.

 

COM 325, Advertising Design and Production, 3 sh

Course Description: Application of advertising principles and techniques in the design and preparation of ads for newspapers, posters, magazines, sales brochures, and direct marketing. Prerequisites: COM 113, COM 320, ART 227

Current Course Title: Creative Advertising and Copywriting, 3 sh

Current Course Description: Preparation of advertising for newspapers, posters, magazines, billboards, brochures, and direct marketing. Emphasis on application of advertising theory and techniques to practical projects in the print media.

Current Prerequisites: COM 220, ART 227

*COM 325 attempts to provide students with hands-on experience in creating and producing ads for the print media. Copywriting is being removed from this course and added to COM 320 to be taught in combination with creative strategy. The modified COM 325 will continue to place emphasis on creation and production of advertising in a number of print-based media. It will be able to concentrate on design and production aspects since students will have had copywriting experience in COM 320. No additional resources will be required for the course. Modification of the course will not impact any other course at Bradley.

 

Course Deletion

 

COM 283, Desktop Basics, 1 sh

Course Description: Introduction to desktop publishing using the Macintosh. Basic skills and techniques are emphasized.

Prerequisite: Communication majors

*The new course proposed for the Communication core curriculum, COM 113 will replace COM 283. COM 283 was available only to Communication majors; no other academic units are affected.

Course Additions

 

BUS 202, Sophomore Business Practicum, 0 sh

Course Description: Solving technically challenging problems with a near-term economic benefit. Pass/fail

Prerequisites: Only for students approved for practicum by the Center for Business & Economic Research.

*The last two years have seen substantial growth in the number of students employed in FCBA faculty projects of the Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER). Much of the increased student employment at the CBER is associated with the development of "business faculty-student practicums" for various units of the Technology Center at Caterpillar Inc and of Caterpillar General Offices. The students are selected by Bradley (the CBER and the FCBA faculty supervisor), and are employed by Bradley in 300 hour increments. For each project in the practicum program there is a written project description, work plan, expected results, and curriculum match assessment. An orientation is provided to practicum participants by FCBA faculty who also provide direct supervision of student performance in the practicum. The FCBA proposes to offer zero credit hours for the practicum in the same manner as the comparable practicum program of the CEGT. The course will be graded on a pass/fail basis. The course may be repeated for two semesters.

 

BUS 302, Junior Business Practicum, 0 sh

Course Description: Solving technically challenging problems with a near-term economic benefit. Pass/fail

Prerequisites: Junior/Senior Standing. Only for students approved for practicum by the Center for Business & Economic Research.

The course may be repeated for two semesters.

 

MTG 440, Community Service Marketing Practicum, 1-3 sh

Course Description: Field experience in marketing. In-depth practicum in a variety of local community service and nonprofit organizations. Use of services marketing principles to solve applied problems. May be repeated for a maximum of 3 hours credit. Pass/fail.

Prerequisites: MTG 315, MTG 410, and Consent of Department Chair

*MTG 440 combines an academically rigorous 3-credit hour classroom course (MTG 410, Services Marketing) with a 1-3 credit hour community service marketing placement directly related to the subject matter of the services marketing curriculum. The practicum represents an experiential educational experience. Service learning programs involve students in organized community service that addresses all local needs while developing their academic skills, sense of civic responsibility, and commitment to community. Incumbent in service learning is the concept that the participants will develop or practice skills and cultivate new knowledge as part of the process. This program will involve the service providers in the decision-making process and action concerning the planning of, implementation of, and evaluating of the service activities. All members of the Marketing Department are qualified and capable of teaching this course and supervising students. No new resources will be needed. The course will be offered once a year with an anticipated enrollment of 5-10 students.

 

ATG 485, Special Topics in Accounting, 1-3 semester hours

Course Description: Special Topics in accounting. Repeatable up to a total of 3 semester hours.

Prerequisite: Consent of Department Chair

*ATG 485 is being added as a special topics course in order to allow flexibility in the accounting curriculum for special circumstances. In the processing of the paperwork for the Master of Science in Accounting degree, ATG 585, Contemporary Issues in Accounting, 3 semester hours, was established and ATG 485, Contemporary Issues in Accounting, was deleted. The department has found that the variability of the 1-3 credits of ATG 485 will enable them to meet some problems that have occurred in their undergraduate program. The course is primarily intended to provide an option for students to research in depth any one of a number of possible accounting topics and applications. The course will require a student to work under the supervision of a faculty member on a topic selected by the student and the faculty member. Topics will be approved by the faculty member and the department chair. Grading will consist of a combination of points assigned to presentation, papers, and exams. No new university resources will be needed.

Minor Addition

 

Minor in Social Informatics

*Social Informatics is a new academic field which studies the social, ethical, and cultural impact of computerization. "Social Informatics (SI) refers to the body of research and study that examines social aspects of computerization - including the roles of information technology in social and organizational change, the uses of information technologies in social contexts, and the ways that the social organization of information technologies is influenced by social forces and social practices." This definition is provided by the mission statements of the Center for Social Informatics: http://wwwslis.lib.indiana.edu/CSI/. It is proposed as an interdisciplinary minor using existing faculty and courses. The Department of Computer Science and Information Systems, and the Departments of Communication and Sociology are jointly leading this interdisciplinary effort to offer the minor in Social Informatics. Courses from the three academic programs were chosen because they all have a common denominator: communication. The minor is being proposed because of the rapid adoption of the Internet and World Wide Web by industry, government, and academia; the fact that the Web has become a tool for academic research; the demand for a liberal arts education which enables students to use information technologies effectively and to think critically about the relationship between information, communication, and societal changes; and the demand that a liberal arts education enhances the level of 'information literacy.' The proposed minor is consistent with the University goal of fostering interdisciplinary teaching and research and will support the University commitment to Interlabs. It is expected the minor will be attractive to students involved in Interlabs projects supervised by Interlabs faculty. The minor is designed with the following objectives:

 

- to provide students with conceptual tools and strategies to critically analyze the new technologies and the impact of computerization on society, human interaction, and the human psyche;

 

- to teach students how to utilize the new tools of current information technologies for academic study and research as well as how to format new ideas and research projects electronically in a textual, hypertextual, and multimedia format; and

 

- to involve students individually or as a team in creative academic projects that use the Web.

 

Students enrolled in the minor will take 18 hours of course work from courses offered by the departments of Computer Science and Information Systems, Communication and Sociology as follows:

 

Required Core Courses (9 hrs)

COM 399, Communication in Computer-mediated Environments 3 sh

CIS 300, Computers and Society 3 sh

SOC 421, The Culture of Cyberspace 3 sh

SOC 325, Science, Technology and Society 3 sh

 

Electives ( 3 hrs)

COM 213, Desk-top Multi-media Communication 3 sh

CS 343, Data Communication and Communication Networks 3 sh

CIS 500, Multimedia, Internet, and Applications 3 sh

 

Individual Projects (6 hrs)

All students will be required to participate in individual projects or collaborative team projects by enrolling in two Directed Studies/Independent Studies (3 hrs each) offered by the three participating departments and approved by members of the Coordinating Committee.

 

The proposed minor will require no additional university resources.

It is anticipated that ten students will initially enroll in the minor.

for

Bachelor of Science with a Health Science Major

Master of Physical Therapy Degree

Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy Degree

 

All Physical Therapy programs must be at a master's level by the year 2002. The faculty of the Department of Physical Therapy contacted many persons on and off campus regarding this issue. The reviews and feedback of programs and articles researched indicate that the proposed Bachelor of Science with a Health Science major is needed by the community of health care. This proposed degree will expose students to all Bradley colleges and several departments within three of those colleges (EHS, EGT and LAS). The market for the BSHS graduate includes research positions, case manager positions, risk manager positions, and information systems positions plus many additional positions. New resources will be needed. The total income and expenses have been presented to and reviewed by the administration. A letter from the administration is included with this information.

DATE: April 8, 1997

 

TO: Dean Joan Sattler

College of Education and Health Sciences

 

FROM: Provost Sharon Murphy

 

RE: BSHS/MPT Proposals

 

Joan, thank you for the materials on and our extensive discussions of the proposed Bachelor of Sciences leading to the Master of Science in Physical Therapy. I applaud the work and careful thought that have gone into the proposal.

 

I recognize that this plan responds to the requirement that to maintain accreditation, we must have a class graduating with the Masters in Physical Therapy by the year 2002. I recognize, also, that it was conceived as a program to create health care options in a variety of colleges and disciplines while meeting the above-mentioned accrediting requirement. It appears to be both creative and efficient, following in the pattern set by the Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy which has been successful and of high quality.

 

The proposal anticipates positive response in enrollments at the freshman and graduate levels as well as, at least on a temporary basis, among transfer students. I understand that this latter group will be important in meeting masters graduation expectations in the early years of the program.

 

We are in the process of developing an incremental phase-in of the program, and identifying the resources appropriate to support the phase-in and the overall program. As this phase-in occurs, subject to yearly evaluation of enrollment patterns, refinements to resource allocation and reallocation will occur in a timely fashion.

 

I know that the best interests of the students and the University will continue to guide the planning and implementation of the BSHS/MPT and thank you and your colleagues across the campus for their wisdom and insight in the process.

As of the year 2001, baccalaureate degree programs in physical therapy will not receive renewal of accreditation. In Physical Therapy, accreditation is needed for graduates to be eligible to take the state licensure examination. Without a license, one cannot practice physical therapy. This situation has led to this curriculum package request. It encompasses a phasing out of the physical therapy undergraduate degree, implementation of the bachelor of science degree with a health science major, and implementation of a master of science in physical therapy degree.

 

A strength of this proposal is the opportunity to build on the success of the current undergraduate physical therapy program. Seventy students will be targeted each for the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years. The anticipated enrollment is expected to meet the resource demands. The program will begin implementation in the fall of '97 with a freshman enrollment. Courses will be phased in as needed. Dates of phase-in are indicated on the course request forms.

 

The Health Science major has several science requirements. Discussions with the science department chairs identified the need for additional sections of courses; consequently, additional faculty and operating expenses would be required to meet the needs of the majors. This is included in the overall request of the proposal. Faculty demands will be met first with temporary full-time positions.

 

The goals of the Bachelor of Science with a Health Science major provide:

 

* an interdisciplinary foundation to pursue a graduate degree in physical therapy and other similar health care disciplines

* a broad liberal arts and science foundation on which to build a professional career

* an interdisciplinary foundation in health science to pursue employment in the health care industry

* a minor to support the individual student's area of interest in the health care industry

* an understanding of consumer issues in health care, in an ever changing environment.

 

The degree will also provide students with an excellent base for applying for a Master's Degree in Physical Therapy as well as providing students with multiple opportunities to enter the health care industry. This is an intercollegiate degree with courses from all colleges incorporated in the acquisition of the degree. Students are encouraged to select a minor related to their interests, in addition to being considered for the Master in Physical Therapy degree. The curriculum is designed to assist students in developing skills in communications, gaining problem-solving skills, acquiring knowledge and experience as health care consumers, as well as future health care industry employees, and accepting responsibility for pursuing learning over a life time. The curriculum allows students to select minors in areas appropriate to their interests. Sample areas are biology, business, chemistry, communications, computer science, physics, psychology, and sociology.

 

Application for admission to the Health Science major as a freshman requires at a minimum, the following:

*three years of high school mathematics and three years of high school science (biology/physiology, chemistry, physics are recommended)

*ACT minimum scores of 24 in English, 24 in mathematics and 24 composite, or SAT minimum score of 1100. All test values must be earned on the same examination.

Enrollment in the Health Science major will be limited to 70 students. Once the positions are filled additional applicants who meet the qualifications may be placed on a wait list.

 

The following pages contain information of requirements for the Health Sciences major.

Complete course descriptions can be found in the curriculum package for Bachelor of Science with a Health Science Major, Master of Physical Therapy Degree, and Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy Degree under the section BSHS.

 

The package for the major and course deletions of the Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy are located in the same book. The Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy degree is scheduled for deletion in increments to meet the needs of continuing students. Dates of course deletions are indicated on the forms.

 

The BSPT degree will need to be deleted by December 31, 2001. The Commission on Accreditation of Physical Therapy Education programs will no longer accredit baccalaureate degree programs. For graduates of a physical therapy program to meet the application requirements to take the state licensure examination, they must graduate from an accredited program.

 

To obtain accreditation of the Master in Physical Therapy degree, a procedure must be implemented. The process requires a declaration of intent, which is filed six months prior to starting the first classes. If this is approved, an on-site visit is made within the term of the first course offerings. Six months prior to the term for a full team visit, a self-study document must be submitted. In the term prior to graduation of the first class, an on-site visit is made by a full team, and recommendations are made. The Commission acts on the recommendations and notifies the program. Timing is critical.

 

Liberal Arts and Sciences

 

Major Modification

 

Social Work

 

The modification is a restructure to more clearly reflect curriculum content areas required by social work accreditation standards and to specify the required liberal arts courses in the social work core curriculum. The integrative seminars have been removed from the two required practicum courses and given their own designation. The field practicum courses have been made pass/fail. These changes are to allow this major to be consistent with other social work programs and Bradley's teacher education and physical therapy field requirements. A new category of electives has been created to give students opportunity to incorporate courses of special interest. The modification strengthens the consistency in the liberal arts and the core curriculum and presents the curricular structure in language consistent with social work accreditation standards. No additional university resources are requested.

Prerequisistes: Junior/senior standing

*SOC 421, The Culture of Cyberspace, will expose students to the new body of knowledge about the culture of the Internet in a systematic and critical manner. The course will attempt first to introduce the WWW as a tool of research for sociology majors. Cyberspace will then be studied as a community of people and ideas, constructing a new social order where human interaction, human identities, human creative production, language and thought process, and commerce are assuming new characteristics. The course will then focus on selected sociological problems emerging in cyberspace; namely privacy, sexism, racism, deviance, new modes of interaction, and life experiences. The course will encourage students to publish research papers in a multimedia format on the World Wide Web. The course examines the contemporary revolution in human interaction via the computer. Discussion topics will include new concepts of space, time and order; electronic subjectivity and anonymity; new representation of gender, race and class; emergence of new languages of expression; and the revolutionary impact of hypertext and multimedia technologies on human thinking and learning. The course is offered at the 400 level because of the theoretical and complex issues discussed in class. Students wishing to enroll in the course need to schedule a formal interview with the instructor to determine the student's level of understanding of the cyberspace experience and problems. Students will write research papers on topics contained in the syllabus or in a Hypertext Research Paper, or an HTML Publishing Project in a multimedia format. Space will be set at 15 students because of computer lab availability. There is no duplication with other courses at the University. The course fulfills the mission statement of the Sociology Department that states the department is committed to educating the majors in the use of the Web as a tool for sociological research. The instructor for the course will be Dr. L. Salamini.

College of Engineering & Technology

 

Major Deletion

 

Electrical Engineering Technology

 

The primary reason for deletion of the EET program is declining enrollment. The decrease in enrollment has been due to a variety of factors, one of which is the reduced job market for EET graduates over the last several years. Another problem is the weak enrollment in the associate degree electronics technology programs at many regional community colleges. If the EET program is deleted, the Electrical Computer Engineering & Technology faculty can focus additional efforts into the area of software engineering. This is an area of vital importance to electrical engineering.

 

The state of the EET program has been reviewed annually by the department's Industrial Advisory Committee. During the April 1997 meeting, the committee members, which include several EET alumni as well as ICC's Electronics Technology program director, supported deletion of the program.

 

No new freshman have been admitted into EET since the fall of 1996, but due to internal transfers, there are students in the freshman and sophomore level courses. Transfer students will be admitted into the junior and senior level courses. All students transferring into the EET program will be advised that the program is being phased out.

 

After the start of classes in the fall of 1997, no new internal or external transfers will be accepted. It is important that all students graduate before the EET's accreditation expires on 9/30/2001. Once all students in the program have graduated, the remaining EET courses (except for EET 320, Electricity and Power, a service course) will be deleted. The EET program is currently accredited by ABET/TAC until 9/30/2001. If this request to delete the EET program is approved, the ECET Department will contact ABET/TAC and inform them that re-accreditation of the EET program will not be sought beyond 9/30/2001.

 

The other academic unit most affected by the deletion of the EET program is Industrial Manufacturing Engineering & Technology since EET students take MFE 172, Computer Aided Graphics I, and MFG 360, Manufacturing Processes. These courses are populated by other majors. Deletion of the EET program will have some impact on the TMH course sequence (technical calculus) of TMH 225, TMH 226, and TMH 227 which is taken by EET and MFG majors. It is expected that there will be enough MFG students to allow adequate offerings of the courses to meet those majors' needs. Deletion of the EET program is not expected to affect any other unit or program due to the current low enrollment in the EET program.

Major Modification

 

Advertising

 

Modification of the Advertising Concentration is being sought by the Department of Communication to specify choices of courses, to take advantage of new course offerings, and to give strength to the concentration. Two courses are being deleted and four additional courses are being required in the major to give the major more vitality and credibility. This increases the hour requirement in the concentration from 21 to 24 semester hours. The courses being removed from the required list are: COM 400, Research in Public Relations, and ART 227, Graphic Design. The proposed concentration is as follows:

 

Proposed Courses

COM 219, Public Relations, 3 sh

COM 220, Advertising as Communication, 3 sh

COM 325, Ad Design and Production, 3 sh

COM 320, Advertising Creative Strategy, 3 sh

COM 322, Advertising Media Planning, 3 sh

COM 481, Advertising Research & Campaigns, 3 sh

COM 437, Advertising in a Global Environment,* 3 sh

MTG 315, Principles of Marketing

plus 3 hours from a list of specific advertising courses to be developed by the Marketing Department. This will include MTG 381, Integrated Marketing Communications, and at least one other new advertising course which will be developed collaboratively by the departments of Marketing and Communication.

*elective

 

Current Courses

COM 219, Public Relations, 3 sh

COM 220, Advertising as Communication, 3 sh

COM 325, Creative Advertising & Copywriting

COM 400, Graphic Design, 3 sh, deleted

ART 277, Graphic Design, 3 sh deleted

Course Additions

 

COM 320, Advertising Creative Strategy, 3 semester hours

Course Description: Formulation and techniques of creative strategy. Copywriting for print and electronic media.

Prerequisites: COM 200, COM 220

*COM 320 is being proposed as a required course for Advertising majors to vitalize and lend credibility to the concentration. Advertising Creative Strategy is a staple course in nearly all advertising programs in the country. The curriculum objective of COM 320 is to offer a course required of students that will help them prepare for careers in advertising by exposing them to the basic theoretical and practical concerns of creating advertising messages to communicate to specific target audiences. Students will learn how to prepare a creative strategy to complement an advertising campaign. Their competency will be measured by weekly quizzes and a final creative advertising project based on a Areal life@ problem for a live client. Two new faculty members are being hired to complement the faculty now teaching advertising courses. These are existing openings in the department. No other department on campus offers a course resembling the proposed offering. The department of marketing has been contacted with respect to offering this course. The course will be offered every semester with an anticipated enrollment of 15 to 20 students.

 

COM 322, Advertising Media Planning, 3 semester hours

Course Description: Development of media plans and schedules to deliver advertising messages to target markets in media audiences. Advertising media vehicles evaluated in terms of creative requirements, audience characteristics, and cost efficiency.

Prerequisites; COM 220, MTG 314

*COM 322 is being proposed as a required course for Advertising majors to vitalize and lend credibility to the concentration. The curriculum objective of COM 322 is to offer a course required of students that will help them prepare for careers in advertising by exposing them to the basic theoretical and practical concerns of delivering advertising messages to intended audiences. Students will learn how to prepare a media plan for an advertising campaign. Their competency will be measured by weekly quizzes and a final media plan that will be graded as a final exam. A new faculty member is being hired to complement the faculty now teaching advertising courses. Dr. John Schweitzer has taught the course in two other universities and is able to fill in if needed. The proposed course in Advertising Media Planning will add to the strength of the advertising concentration by providing students with a formalized course to help them gain entry-level positions in advertising. Advertising media planning represents an important segment in the advertising industry and is often a starting point for new hires. No other department on campus offers a course resembling the proposed offering. The department of marketing has been contacted with respect to offering this course. The course will be offered every semester with an anticipated enrollment of 15 to 20 students

 

COM 481, Advertising Research and Campaigns, 3 semester hours

Course Description: Introduction to advertising research; methods of message and media research techniques with special application to campaign planning. Basic principles and applications of advertising campaign planning, preparation, and presentation taught in a

problem-solving mode.

Prerequisites; COM 320, COM 322, and COM 325; or consent of instructor

*COM 481 is an advanced course intended to provide students with a capstone course in the advertising concentration in which they will learn advertising research techniques and the application of research to advertising problem-solving. Course content centers on the development of one or more advertising problem solutions and includes: advertising case studies and analysis, written and oral presentations of recommendations. Upon completion of the course, students will have developed expertise in:

 

*advertising research and application

*advertising strategy development

*client-service contact

*advertising problem solving

*current events and topics in the advertising industry

*creative aspects of advertising

 

No other department on campus offers a course resembling the proposed offering. The department of marketing has been contacted with respect to offering this course. The course will be offered every semester with an anticipated enrollment of 10 to 15 students

 

COM 438, Public Relations in a Global Environment, 3 semester hours

Course Description: Public relations theory and practice in conjunction with cultural, geographic, and historic components of international practice of the profession. International media-public relations exchange and international public relations.

Prerequisites: COM 219, MTG 315

*COM 438 is the only course in the public relations curriculum that offers students the theory and applications of public relations principles in an international framework. The goals of the course are to have students become aware of other cultures and their relationships to current and future public relations practice; to have students incorporate their international knowledge to the practice of public relations in their chosen area of practice; and to have students demonstrate their international public relations skills through issue and/or campaign development in a culture of their choice. Students will be evaluated on discussion of international readings and completion of three projects: exploration of a culture or country of interest; in-depth interviews with international public relations practitioners; and development or analysis of a public relations plan in their chosen culture.

Part of the mission of the Global Communications Center and the Department of Communication is to offer students the opportunity to work not only in the United States, but to work and live as global citizens. This course meets that mission. Both Dr. Charles Bukowski, International. Studies Chair, and Dr. Elmo Roach, Director of International Programs, have given support for the course offering. There are no duplications or overlaps with existing courses. This course should introduce more students to the growing practice of international public relations practice and take advantage of the opportunities to travel abroad which Bradley University encourages as part of its overall mission. The course will be offered once a year with an anticipated enrollment of 10 - 15 students.

 

Course Modification

 

COM 220, Advertising as Communication, 3 semester hours

Course Description: Verbal and non-verbal concepts, social criticism, controls, and contributions of advertising; commercial aspects of communications. Relationship to news and economic bases of the mass media. Ethical, legal, and social responsibility aspects of advertising.

Prerequisite: COM 101

Current Course Description: Verbal and non-verbal concepts, social criticism, controls, and contributions of advertising; commercial aspects of communications. Relationship to news and economic bases of the mass media.

Current Prerequisites; COM 101 and COM 200

*The modification request reflects a change in prerequisite from COM 101 and COM 200 to COM 101 because COM 220 does not require extensive writing and the COM 200 prerequisite often requires transfer students an extra semester before they are able to enroll in the course, thereby delaying graduation. The added language to the description more accurately reflects course content.

(TP&D)

Date: April 30, 1997

 

Re: Report to Senate on TP&D=s Activities in the 1996-97 Academic Year

 

There were no cases brought before the committee. We took this hiatus to address policy issues.

 

One outcome was the proposal to do away with the limbo year and have tenure effect at the start of a candidate=s seventh contract year.

 

The Senate voted on this proposal at its April meeting. The proposal passed, subject to approval by the President and the Board of Trustees. The Trustees will not meet again until after the May meeting of the Senate.

 

A motion was made from the floor to have the above mentioned motion take effect immediately so that those currently in limbo would get tenure in August, 1997, at the start of their seventh contract year. This would enable them to serve in the 1997-98 academic year on committees requiring tenure.

 

This motion was referred to TP&D for further study. We held a meeting and met with concerned faculty. Our recommendation is the following: In view of the fact that the Trustees will not meet unitl the summer, the earliest the Senate could act would be September or October. We believe that changing the composition of department tenure committees in the fall, just prior to their convening, is potentially disruptive and does not give candidates sufficient notice as to the departmental composition of the committees. Therefore, assuming approval by the President and Board of Trustees, we recommend that the new policy apply to those who receive their tenure notification letter in March, 1998 and thereafter, but that it not apply to those currently in limbo. This recommendation, if followed, leaves departments and faculty no worse off than they were under the old policy and gives sufficient notice of the change in policy to allow all parties to anticipate the consequences and adjust accordingly.

From: Joseph Felder, Chair, RETIREMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE

 

Date: April 30, 1997

 

Re: Report to Senate on the Activities of the RETIREMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE in the 1996-97 Academic Year

 

The committee cosponsored with the Personnel Office a speaker from TIAA-CREF. The committee consulted with the Provost and was told that last year=s early retirement option appears to have satisfied the current need.

 

In our December report to the Senate we asked for faculty suggestions. The response was minimal. One faculty member, with expertise in insurance, pointed out that Bradley=s retirement plan is not particularly competitive. The university match (five percent) is low and investment options are limited. This faculty member expressed interest in serving on the committee in the future.

 

The committee discussed the fact that many eligible employees, especially those with low pay, do not take advantage of the University=s five percent matching contribution to a retirement plan. We would welcome suggestions on how to increase their participation.

 

Next year we may begin looking into the host of issues that will be raised when the age at which people become eligible for Social Security and Medicare increases, eventually to age 72.

From: Ad Hoc Committee on Child Care Feasibility

 

Re: Child Care Feasibility Committee Report/Response

 

The Child Care Feasibility Committee met on February 3rd, March 10th, and

April 7th of 1997. At this time the committee would like to receive some

feedback from the Senate before proceeding with our charge. Questions that

have been discussed during our meetings include the following:

 

1) Is Bradley committed to supporting any of following recommendations

that were made by the committee in April of 1995?

 

These include:

 

Survey degree completion students, graduate students, and other

non-traditional students, age 24 and above, to assess their need for child

care.

 

Request that a student group from the Foster College of Business

Administration conduct a feasibility study as an S.B.I. project (a proposal

for Fall, 1997 has been requested).

 

Contact and visit other university-based child care programs to research

program models.

 

Develop realistic options for a collaborative site.

 

2) Will any resources be allocated to meeting any of the aforementioned

recommendations?

 

3) Would you like to committee to contact child care providers in the

community to discuss their interest in developing an on-site program at

Bradley? If so, is there a facility that would be available?

 

NOTE: It is the opinion of the committee that faculty, staff, and

students, would prefer a center that is located on campus.

 

Unless there is additional support from the university, the committee

members are unable to move forward on the recommendations and feel our

efforts are no longer worthwhile.

 

The committee would like to propose that another ad hoc committee be formed

to discuss the issue of job sharing on campus.

 

Please respond to the committee members regarding our next steps prior to

the end of the semester.

 

Thank you.

Re: Proposal to change Handbook language

 

It has come to the Executive Committee=s attention that the language of the Faculty Handbook regarding membership on the Admissions and Retention Committee needs to be changed to reflect the current title of the ex officio member. The Handbook currently speaks of the Director of Academic Advisement as an ex officio member. That position is now called Director of Orientation, Testing and Advisement. The following proposal seeks to make that correction.

Language to be deleted is shown by strike-out. Language to be added is underlined.

 

Pages 18 - 19 of the Faculty Handbook:

 

Section 10. The Committee on Admissions and Retention.

 2.

e. The Director of Orientation, Testing and Academic Advisement, who shall serve ex officio.
