Gslisadjuncts New syllabus template
by James Lowry 29 Sep '22

29 Sep '22

Colleagues, Today the GSLIS faculty voted to adopt the attached syllabus template for all GSLIS syllabi. Please ensure that your syllabi from the Spring 2023 semester onwards conform with this template. The template includes guidance notes in blue, and examples in green. Please note that section B has been updated to include the new GSLIS student learning outcomes. All course student learning outcomes should be mapped to assignments, and to GSLIS student learning outcomes, as shown in the example. The helps students and accreditation authorities see how the course contributes to the goals of the department and the objectives of the curriculum over all. It may take some time to map your course learning outcomes in this way, but it is an opportunity to think through if / how well your assignments assess student learning against the stated goals. Section I Additional Information contains updated links to the Writing Center, and new sections on “Participation and Conduct” and “Counseling”. As always, please be sure to send copies of your syllabi to Bridget Kavanagh Bridget.Kavanagh(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:Bridget.Kavanagh@qc.cuny.edu> for filing. We need the syllabi for inspection by accreditation authorities. With thanks, James Dr. James Lowry (he/him) Associate Professor Chair and Director Information Studies, Queens College<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__sites.google.com_view_… > City University of New York<https://www.cuny.edu/> Series Editor, Routledge Studies in Archives<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.routledge.com_Rout… > @JamesLowryATL

Gslisadjuncts FW: Course modality: reminder

From: Ekaterina Pechenkina <Kate.Pechenkina(a)qc.cuny.edu> Date: Friday, September 2, 2022 at 1:13 PM To: Stephen Grover <Stephen.Grover(a)qc.cuny.edu>, Larissa Swedell <Larissa.Swedell(a)qc.cuny.edu>, David Gabel <David.Gabel(a)qc.cuny.edu>, Peter Vellon <Peter.Vellon(a)qc.cuny.edu>, Shige Song <Shige.Song(a)qc.cuny.edu>, Tarry Hum <Tarry.Hum(a)qc.cuny.edu>, James Lowry <James.Lowry(a)qc.cuny.edu>, "Qianyun (Ivy) Huang" <Qianyun.Huang(a)qc.cuny.edu>, Francois Pierre-Louis <Francois.Pierrelouis(a)qc.cuny.edu> Cc: Schiro Withanachchi <Schiro.Withanachchi(a)qc.cuny.edu>, Cara Marshall <Cara.Marshall(a)qc.cuny.edu>, Amy Hsin <Amy.Hsin(a)qc.cuny.edu> Subject: Fwd: Course modality: reminder Dear Chairs and Program Directors: Please share with your faculty members as appropriate. We are receiving student complaints that faculty members are switching class modality from in-person to online or from synchronous to asynchronous. It is not ok to ask students whether they are would mind a different modality and switch it. Our students are entitled to knowing what they are registering for. Just as it is not ok to change the syllabus midway, it is not acceptable to change modality after the semester has started. Cheers K Get Outlook for Android<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… > ________________________________ From: Patricia Price <patricia.price(a)qc.cuny.edu> Sent: Friday, September 2, 2022, 12:42 PM Subject: Course modality: reminder Dear Faculty Deans: Now that the Fall 2022 semester is underway, there are reports of faculty wishing to shift course modality. In all instances that have come to my attention, the desired change involves a face-to-face course shifting to a hybrid or fully online modality. Please understand - and help your Chairs and faculty to understand - that, for sound reasons, faculty may not decide on their own to shift the modality of a section from its approved modality. Students registered for courses offered in specified modalities and it is incumbent on the institution to ensure that these commitments are kept. In addition, the current NYSED approval of our programs- with literally a couple of exceptions - does not include distance education at any significant scale. This is consistent with academic continuity guidance from CUNY. As a reminder, fully remote work authorized by an ADA accommodation is managed by HR, as is FMLA in the case of long-term illness. Faculty with short-term medical issues should work with their Chair to ensure appropriate coverage of their section(s). Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
