    Justification and Assessment
    Next
    • Rationale*
      COMM 4426 – Fiction Film Production has found a new place in our evolving curriculum as a semester on set that we are shifting from an advanced level option to an intermediate level class, accessible after only COMM 3353 (our introductory level production class). This change will place COMM 4426 in the “choose 1” option for intermediate classes, along with several other newly designed intermediate-level classes: COMM 4305 Intermediate screenwriting, COMM 4306 Lighting in Cinematography, COMM 4404 Dialogue Recording & Editing, COMM 4410 Production Design for Film & Video, COMM 4411 Branded Content Production, COMM 4412 Titles, Compositing & Color
      Max 400 characters

    • REQUIRED ATTACHMENTS

      ATTACH the the following required documentsl by navigating to the Proposal Toolbox and clicking  in the top right corner.

      1.) Program Map and/or Program Sheet

      For advising purposes, all programs must have a program map. Please download the program map template from here, and upload.

      Make sure to upload the new program sheet that reflects these changes. If you'd like to update both the old and new program new for reference, please ensure that you distinctly mark them and upload as one document.

      3.) Academic Assessment Plan/Reporting

      All new major programs must include an assessment plan. Stand-alone minors must have an assessment plan as well.  A stand-alone minor is a minor that can be earned in a program that does not offer an undergraduates degree with a major in that discipline (for example, a student can earn a minor in Africana Studies but cannot complete a bachelor's degree with a major in Africana Studies). Minors in a discipline where a corresponding major is offered, are not required to include an assessment plan.

      Please download the Academic Assessment Plan/Reporting template and attach to this proposal.

      4.) Curriculum Map Assessment

      Please download the Curriculum and Assessment Map template and attach to this proposal.
