A new academic program is a program not previously offered at an institution or one that was previously offered but has been suspended for five or more years or has been closed. Major academic program modifications refer to significant changes in the program’s purpose and curriculum such that a different CIP code more accurately describes the revised program. Separation of an academic program into two programs and the combination of two existing programs into one program constitute major academic program modifications.

Program Proposal

PART I A. Centrality to the Institution’s Mission and Consistency with State’s Goals

1. Provide a brief description of the program. Describe concentration (if master’s)

This graduate program in game design is a two year program that focuses on the study of design and development of games. Students in the program will learn Game Design, Game Production, Writing, Technical Art, and Media Composition. Graduates from the program will be employed in industry as game designers, developers, artists, producers, scholars, and critics.

2. List the objectives of the proposed program. These objectives should deal with the specific institutional and societal needs that this program will address.

a. The first objective of the proposed program is to prepare our students to develop and publish games in entertainment, education, and other serious contexts.

b. The second objective is to increase the competitiveness of our students in the worldwide video game industry. Through practice, mentoring, and networking our students will create and publish games and be prepared to work in the highly completive industry.

c. The third objective is to promote a culture of game design and expression using electronic delivery. Providing master’s level game design instruction will lead to new opportunities for graduates in our service region (and beyond) to develop new methods for creative expression. Basing the delivery of this content on the Internet will greatly expand the audience of the work.

d. The fourth object is to encourage economic growth through entrepreneurial efforts. These forms of expression (video games, apps, etc…) will have a direct economic impact on our region by allowing our students to sell their products through existing app stores.

3. Explain how the objectives support the institutional mission and strategic priorities, the statewide postsecondary

education strategic agenda, and the statewide strategic implementation plan.

The proposed program is consistent with EKU’s mission as a comprehensive public institution “to prepare students to lead productive, responsible, and enriched lives. This mission is accomplished by emphasizing 1) student success, 2) regional stewardship, and 3) critical and creative thinking and effective communication.” 1: Student Success: The program will prepare students for careers in game design by providing a comprehensive curriculum on the foundations of theory of game design while requiring students to continually practice designing games in studios. Extensive team‐based learning and studio work, finally culminating in a published game title, will prepare our students for seamless transition into both large and small sectors of the game industry. By combining innovative team‐based learning and practice with real‐world economic incentives, we propose to position EKU as a premier university in game education. Students will work on teams with other students from diverse backgrounds.


3

2: Regional Stewardship: Being the only graduate degree program in game development in the state,

the program will meet a need for formal training in the rapidly growing markets related to games. The

program will directly address the stewardship of place by allowing our students to better themselves

economically while expressing their ideas and opinions through games and interactive media. Students

will release their games for public sale and graduate with at least one game for sale in multiple markets.

Graduates will be prepared to work at existing studio, start their own studios, and teach game design at

the P‐16 levels. Game development is the largest single sector of the entertainment industry, yet, there

are no professional degrees related to the subject in the state.

3: Critical and Creative Thinking and Effective Communication: To develop a successful game, its

designer must be able to apply critical and creative thinking while communicating effectively. Students

will analyze and critique existing games, create new games, and work to effectively communicate their

ideas to the player. We seek to extend the success of our undergraduate concentration in interactive

multimedia (Kentucky’s first game design focused degree) with a Master’s degree that will provide

extensive training and practice in game design through this proposed terminal degree.

The proposed program also supports the statewide postsecondary education strategic agenda. By

providing students with assistance to publish games developed during their final year of coursework,

our students releasing a successful game will receive income at graduation from sales of their game.

This provides both “institution and student incentives to increase high‐quality degree production and

completion rates” (4.2). Our program will “Promote student engagement, undergraduate research,

internships, and other educational opportunities that improve the quality of the student experience,

develop leaders, and lead to success after graduation” (4.6) by giving students real‐world game

production experience. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of game design, our students will collaborate

with numerous with various STEM disciplines as well as others supporting 6.5. This program will

specifically seek to “foster an innovative, creative, and entrepreneurial culture” (6.6) in our students.

We will also work with independent game developers in our region supporting 7.1.

B. Program Quality and Student Success 1. What are the intended student learning outcomes of the proposed program?

Students completing this program will demonstrate the ability to: 1. Use game engines and game development tools to complete the development of a game and all

its assets; 2. Develop prototypes to test gameplay mechanics;


4

3. Write complete game design documentation 4. Define and implement a feasible production schedule and costs for a game; 5. Develop sports, tabletop and other non‐digital games 6. Develop digital games on various deployments from installations to handheld and consoles. 7. Evaluate performance of design patterns in games; 8. Use software packages to measure game performance and player skill; 9. Write valid critique of game design choices;

2. Identify both the direct and indirect methods by which the intended student learning outcomes will be assessed. a. Students will be assessed using three courses (INF 711, INF712, INF810). b. Exit assessment tools will be used to measure student success. c. Post-graduation Production: Alumni will be surveyed on the new games they have developed, economic

impact the titles released, and other activities such as teaching and community-involvement will be addressed.

3. How will the program support or be supported by other programs within the institution?

a. This program will directly support the BS in Computer Science concentration in Interactive Multimedia. MFA students will serve as lab instructors and graders in undergraduate courses(CSC140, CSC315, CSC316, CSC491) as well as engage in activities, such as game jams, with our undergraduate students. This concentration now has over 100 students enrolled, and by adding GAs with game design expertise we will be able to increase the number of sections offered in the undergraduate courses.

4. Will this program replace or enhance any existing program(s) or tracks, concentrations, or specializations within an

existing program? Yes or No No.

5. Will this be a distance learning program? No. If so, please indicate the anticipated percentage of the program for each of the following (can total more than 100%). _____Online _____Hybrid _____ITV _____Offered at a site other than Richmond

6. Will this program utilize alternative learning formats (e.g. distance learning, technology‐enhanced instruction, evening/weekend classes, accelerated courses)? No.

If yes, please check all that apply. _____Courses that combine various modes of interaction, such as face‐to‐face, videoconferencing, audio‐conferencing, mail, telephone, fax, e‐mail, interactive television, or World Wide Web? _____Technology‐enhanced instruction _x___Evening/weekend/early morning classes _____Accelerated courses _____Instruction at nontraditional locations, such as employer worksite _____Courses with multiple entry, exit, and reentry points _____Courses with “rolling” entrance and completion times, based on self‐pacing _____Modularized courses


5

7. Are new or additional faculty needed? Please provide a plan to ensure that appropriate faculty resources are available, either within the institution or externally, to support the program.

Note whether they will be part‐time or full‐time. A new full‐time faculty member will be needed at the start of this program to teach key aspects of the program in game design. This faculty member will initially be responsible for teaching all sections of INF 711 and INF 811. This individual will also be responsible for teaching some sections of INF 810 and INF 712. This first faculty position will be filled by an individual with extensive industry experience. During the 3rd year of the program we request another full‐time faculty position which will be needed as studio classes increase in size and of facilitate offering special topic courses. This faculty member will have extensive academic experience in game design. Both faculty members will mentor students and maintain a close connection with local and global industry. We request that each faculty will receive a new workstation for their design work and testing of new games. A travel stipend will be requested in the budget to facilitate the necessary travel to the annual Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, CA. Equipment needs will be shared between the MFA and existing BS degrees. Existing labs are sufficient to handle the additional faculty office space.

C. Program Demand/Unnecessary Duplication

1. Provide justification and evidence to support the need and demand for this proposed program. Include any data on student demand; career opportunities at the local, state, and national levels; and any changes or trends in the discipline(s) that necessitate a new program.

Kentucky has seen tremendous growth in the game development sector in just the past 5 years, there are now over 20 developers in the state and this number is growing rapidly. Moreover, the barriers for entry are very low. An individual, spending less than $1000 can publish a game for sale on Apple’s App Store, Google’s Play Store, and Amazon’s Appstore and nearly instantly start receiving revenue from sales of those apps. However, publishing a game that people want to purchase and play take knowledge and practice. We have surveyed 41 individuals (current students, alumni, and independent game developers), 20 of the respondents reported positively when asked if they would enroll in a MFA in Game Design at EKU.

The video game industry has seen tremendous growth and new sectors such as independent game development have led to new opportunities in the field. CNN Money/Payscale ranked “video game designer” as 2 out of 100 best jobs in America in 2015. The Median pay is $79,900 and there is an estimated 10‐year job growth of 19%. As also reported in the same story, “The industry is relatively new, so it's still a very innovative field." (http://money.cnn.com/gallery/pf/2015/01/27/best‐jobs‐2015/2.html) On September 1st, 2015, Forbes columnist Bernard Marr called gamification a technology trend that will make or break many careers: “Gamification is going to move into more and more realms of our life not so much because it’s the hot new thing, but because it’s psychologically proven to work. Companies like Microsoft are using gamification to motivate their sales force, while other entities are using it in education and personal development. The opportunities in this arena are growing all the time.”( http://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2015/09/01/7‐technology‐trends‐that‐will‐make‐or‐break‐many‐careers/?utm_campaign=ForbesTech&utm_source=TWITTER&utm_medium=social&utm_channel=Technology&linkId=16729449) As more companies look to apply the motivating factors of games to other areas outside of entertainment, students with game design experience will be able to move to these different markets without retraining.


6

Companies focused on healthcare, insurance, human resources, and education are all investing heavily on building game design expertise.

2. Specify any distinctive qualities of the program.

This program will apply a cohort based admission policy where applicants will be chosen based on academic

excellence and existing skill sets. It is crucial that students work on teams to develop games and experience the

intricacies of team work in a game development environment. For the last year of the program, we will also

propose introducing a residential incubator program utilizing a new dorm with high‐speed internet access.

This program will be the first in the nation that will require students to release a game for sale at the end of the 4th

semester of study. We will provide staff support to students, through a new business development manager, who

will have extensive industry experience in marketing and releasing games. The game industry is highly

competitive, but also flooded with candidates without real‐world experience. By giving our students a released

title on their portfolio, we can give them a great advantage over the competition while also giving them an

opportunity to receive revenue at the time of graduation. Therefore, our graduates will have the choice of

working for themselves as an entrepreneurial independent game developer or apply for positions in other studios.

EKU will continue to take the lead in Kentucky’s higher education game design programs. This includes working

closely with local independent game designers. In May 2015, over 15 developers from around the region came to

campus for an all‐day exhibition of games and developer meetup. We are the only school in the region hosting this

type of activity and it puts any new program we develop at a great advantage.

3. Are there existing programs in the state? No.

a. Does the proposed the proposed program differ from existing programs? If yes, please explain.

b. Does the proposed program serve a different student population (i.e. students in a different geographic area) from existing programs?

If yes, please explain. c. Is access to existing programs limited?

If yes, please explain. d. Is the excess demand for existing similar programs?

If yes, please explain. e. Will there be collaboration between the proposed program and existing programs? Yes.

Please explain the collaborative arrangement with existing programs. Graduate Assistants in the MFA program will serve as instructors and graders in the undergraduate BS in computer science concentration courses in interactive multimedia.

D. Cost and Funding of the Proposed Program

1. Estimate the level of new and existing resources that will be required to implement and sustain the program using

the spreadsheet below.

Narrative Explanation/Justification: Games developed as team projects in INF 812 (Game Design Thesis) will be published through the EKU Gaming Institute. Per agreement, EKU will participate in a 50/50 revenue sharing with student developers. Assuming an average 33,333 purchases of each game at $1 (assume 70% of total sales will return due to app store agreements), at the beginning of the 3rd year, with 3 student games will be released. This would lead to 66,667 total downloads for 1st year of a game’s release. We assume that games will sell an average of 33,333 for the 1st 2 years of release and half of the previous year’s amount for the rest of its commercial life.

B. The justification for this action:

For incoming graduate students, material needs to be present that addresses issues of chemical teaching and the current practice of lecture is not as effective as faculty mentoring in an actual operating classroom. The course is designed to allow a graduate student to work with a faculty mentor to reinforce presented chemical concepts while gaining skills pertaining to data dissemination as well as management. A change in the course will allow students to participate to a greater extent. The practicum course has received positive feedback (from students and faculty) and the ability to increase participation will be beneficial to those that participate. In addition, the revised course would allow for existing science teachers to work towards Rank I certification.

Fall 2016



Students in the chemistry teaching major need to take CHE 770. One of the prerequisites to take CHE 770 is BIO 111 or higher, which means BIO 100 is not necessary. In addition, a change in the 800 course requirements will allow students to participate in the chemistry practicum course (CHE 811) to a greater extent. The recently developed practicum course has received very positive feedback (from students and faculty) and the ability to increase participation will be beneficial to those in the program. In addition, graduate students must have at least half of their credit hours at the 800-level and students in the Coursework track option will fall below this mark if both elective courses in the track are taken at the 700-level. Updating the language for the Coursework option will ensure that at least three hours are taken at the 800-level.

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) & Masters of Science (M.S.) CHEMISTRY

Accelerated 3+2 Dual Degree Program CIP Code: 40.0501

Students may apply for admission to the 3+2 program in their junior or senior year. Students are able to complete their B.A. degree and M.S. degree within 5 calendar years because of the accelerated curriculum and because 9 semester hours of 700-level graduate coursework will apply to both the undergraduate B.A. degree and the graduate M.S. degree. Only undergraduate students of proven academic ability will be considered for the program. Entrance requirements for the 3+2 must adhere to the same requirements for the M.S. Chemistry Program in the Graduate Catalog, except entrance examinations (e.g. GRE) are not required for the 3+2 program. Students must fulfill all graduation requirements listed below. Students admitted into the program will remain coded as undergraduate until fulfilling their BA requirements. Students admitted into the 3+2 program must complete the Chemistry BA degree with a minimum 3.0 GPA to be allowed to proceed with graduate program coursework.

Admission Requirements: Students interested in this option must satisfy all the following conditions: 1. Junior or Senior standing 2. Overall grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 at the time of admission to the 3+2 program 3. Approval from department and Graduate School (see the form at http://gradschool.eku.edu/graduate-school-forms) 4. Must maintain an overall undergraduate and graduate grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 to continue in the 3+2 program.

Program Requirements Students in 3+2 Accelerated Dual Degree Option must complete the listed Chemistry (B.A.) program requirements along with the same requirements for the Chemistry M.S. Program (presented in the Graduate Catalog: listing at http://gradschool.eku.edu/graduate-catalog). Nine (9) credit hours of 700-level graduate coursework (CHE 715 and 770) are applicable to the undergraduate degree.

While students may apply for admission to pharmacy school after pursuing this degree for three years, a significant number of applicants elect to remain at EKU and first complete their B.A. Chemistry degree.

Students accepted into pharmacy school after three years as a Chemistry major will have completed 80% of the B.A. Chemistry degree. As such these students, upon completion of pharmacy school, may transfer pharmacy coursework back to EKU, to be used in lieu of outstanding EKU Chemistry course requirements; and thereby complete the BA Chemistry degree. The student’ s record will be reviewed for completion by the Registrar, and providing all other University requirements are met, the student will be awarded an EKU B.A. Chemistry degree.

Revisions to the Master of Science Chemistry Program (revise course requirements for the core 800 level requirements as well as be more specific for the requirements of the coursework track option) need to be reflected in all 3+2 programs in the department.

A. 2. Proposed Effective Academic Term: (Example: Fall 2012)

Fall 2016



A change in the 800 course requirements will allow students to participate in the chemistry practicum course (CHE 811) to a greater extent. The recently developed practicum course has received very positive feedback (from students and faculty) and the ability to increase participation will be beneficial to those in the program. In addition, graduate students must have at least half of their credit hours at the 800-level and students in the Coursework track option will fall below this mark if both elective courses in the track are taken at the 700-level. Updating the language for the Coursework option will ensure that at least three hours are taken at the 800-level.

(1) To change the name of the course to “Introduction to Reading, Writing, and Rhetoric.”

(2) To change the prerequisite ACT score requirement in English and Reading from “16 or above” to “15 or 16.”


Fall 2016




1. Course Title Change: As part of a larger revision to Developmental English, the course currently listed as ENG 095: Developmental Composition will no longer be offered. In its place, students who would previously have placed into ENG 095 will instead take a combined Reading and Writing-focused Developmental course, ENG 095R (this course). Changing the course title to “Introduction to Reading, Writing, and Rhetoric” does two things: 1) it clearly signals that the course integrates both reading and writing, meeting Developmental needs for both areas, and 2) it highlights that the course is a single stepping-stone to the credit-bearing first-year writing course, ENG 101: Reading, Writing, and Rhetoric.

ENG 095R is an accelerated course that allows students to meet the requirements for both ENG 095 and ENR 095 in a single course. This course, originally piloted in two sections in fall 2015, is now the default course for students with Developmental English and Reading needs.

2. Prerequisite Change: Our goal for this set of changes to the English Developmental courses is to get our incoming students out of non-credit bearing courses and into credit bearing courses faster, in order to increase their chances of completing their degrees at EKU.

The Department of English and Theatre piloted two sections of ENG 095R in Fall 2015. The pilot was founded on the following rationale:

Nationally, there is a movement to accelerate the course work of students with developmental requirements to increase student retention, academic success and graduation rates. Kentucky’s Council on Post-Secondary Education (CPE) is also encouraging colleges to create research-based innovations in developmental education that accelerate time in courses while providing alterative types of student support. Additionally, there is a growing, research-fueled effort to integrate developmental reading and writing courses. ENG 095R will integrate the curricula of ENG 095 and ENR 095 for students who are close to the placement test benchmark scores and will provide support through the EKU Noel Studio’s Writing Fellows program and the EKU Bridge program.

The current change to the ACT prerequisite requirement for this course are part of a larger change in the Developmental Education program at EKU encouraged by the Provost. The goal of these changes as a whole is to move students with developmental needs into credit-bearing courses more quickly, while still providing them with the necessary educational support. Institutional Research has shown that students’ retention and degree completion rates decline drastically the more non-credit, Developmental courses they have to complete. By moving students into more credit-bearing courses earlier, those students become more likely to succeed (several possible rationales for this improvement have been identified, including greater motivation when taking courses that “count” toward their degrees and the fact that taking many developmental courses burns through many students’ financial resources).

The change to the ACT prerequisite requirements of ENG 095R proposed in this form meets the goal of earlier entry into credit-bearing courses by opening ENG 095R to students who score a 15 in English/Reading; this change allows those students to meet their Developmental Writing and Reading needs in one integrated course, with additional instructional support (such as Writing Fellows). Instead of taking as many as two Developmental courses (ENG 095 and ENR 095) all students who score 15 or 16 in ACT English/Reading will now enroll in ENG 095R, which meets either or both need(s).

Faculty who have taught ENG 095, ENR 095, and ENG 095R agree that Reading and Writing instruction should be integrated for all students and that teaching these two complementary skills together is mutually reinforcing.

(Please note that this curriculum change form is accompanied by a related form to change the name of this course from ENG 095R: Developmental Reading and Writing II to ENG 095: Introduction to Reading, Writing, and Rhetoric.)


Personnel Impact:

Fewer instructors will be needed to teach developmental courses because two courses will be combined into one.

Operating Expenses Impact:

Funding will have to be secured for supplemental instruction, such as Writing Fellows. Currently, Writing Fellow salaries are $1856.00 per Writing Fellow per semester, at 15 hours per week.

Instructor: Section: Office: Time: M/W/F 1:25-2:15 Office phone: Room: Mailing address: Case Annex 467 E-mail: Office Hours: Catalog Course Description: ENG 095R Introduction to Reading, Writing, and Rhetoric. (3), I, II. Prerequisite: ENG 090 or ACT English and Reading sub-scores of 15 or 16. Focuses on critical reading and academic writing. Provides strategies for comprehending and analyzing source material and integrating sources with written work, with an emphasis on thesis development, organization, voice, and style. ENG 095R combines the objectives of both ENG 095 (developmental English/writing) and ENR 095 (developmental reading). Because this is an accelerated course, students are required to attend weekly, one-hour workshop sessions with the class Writing Fellow. Students must attend a minimum of ten sessions (one hour each) with the Writing Fellow during the semester in order to pass ENG 095R. Policies regarding the role of Writing Fellows are explained below.

Required Texts and Materials:

50 Essays (4th edition), Samuel Cohen, Editor. Bedford St. Martin’s. 2014 Hamlet’s Blackberry, William Powers. Harper, 2010. A Pocket Style Manual, 6th ed., Diane Hacker. Boston: Bedford/St. Martin’s, 2012. EKU email account to access Blackboard Course folder

Student Learning Outcomes:

1. Students will demonstrate the ability to use critical reading strategies to construct meaning from text.

2. Students will write essays that respond critically to readings and that incorporate words or ideas of others appropriately.

3. Students will write academic essays that are rhetorically appropriate, organized, focused on a thesis, and developed with evidence and valid argumentation.

4. Students will develop strengths in writing through practice, revision, and attention to the composition process.

5. Students will demonstrate control of written language.

Course Requirements: Daily work: 12 assignments x 25 points each 300 points = 30% Essays 500 points = 50% Essay 1=50 pts.; Essay 2 = 100 pts.; Essay 3=150 pts.; Essay 4=200 pts. Vocabulary Cards or Word Journal 100 points = 10% Final Vocabulary Test 100 points = 10% Writing Fellow Record of Consultation (10) required to pass the course Total 1000 points =100% Course Grade: 900-1000 = A 800-899= B 700-799 = C 600-699 = D 590 and below = F Assignment Description/Guidelines: Daily Work: Daily work will include reading response papers, announced or unannounced quizzes on vocabulary and readings, application exercises, group work, in-class writing etc…. Most in-class work cannot be made up, so daily attendance is essential. Late homework will be accepted at my discretion and will receive a lowered grade. Please date and title all work. Essays: We will write often in this class, primarily in response to what we read. There will be much informal writing/daily work in addition to the four major essays. We will practice developing an academic voice through summary and analytical writing. Papers may be revised and re-submitted within one week of receiving the graded paper: papers with substantive revisions may receive a higher grade. Papers must be submitted through Safe Assignment on Blackboard; you must also turn in a paper copy in class. Vocabulary: At each class meeting students will be asked to share new words from assigned readings with the class. These words will constitute the class vocabulary list and will be included on quizzes and a final test. Students should record class vocabulary words on index cards or in a word journal and develop a plan for learning these words. Writing Workshops with Writing Fellow: ENG 095R combines the objectives of both ENG 095 (developmental English/writing) and ENR 095 (developmental reading). Because this is an accelerated course, students are required to attend weekly, one-hour workshop sessions with the class Writing Fellow. Writing Fellows provide additional feedback on writing and writing activities as well as reading support throughout the course. The Writing Fellow will attend classes, support in-class writing activities, and provide individualized one-on-one consultations in the Noel Studio. Writing Fellows are not course instructors, so you should direct all questions about grading, assignments, and course requirements to the instructor. Writing Fellows will not


3

edit papers for you but will provide specific feedback on a variety of reading and writing issues that will help you grow as a reader and writer. Students must attend a minimum of ten sessions (one hour each) with the Writing Fellow during the semester in order to pass ENG 095R. As part of the ten session requirement, each of the four assigned essays must include documentation, in the form of a Record of Consultation, of at least one writing workshop with the Writing Fellow on that particular assignment or the paper will receive a grade of zero/F. Some of the daily assignments will have a Writing Fellow component built-in as well. To receive credit for these assignments you will need to provide a Record of Consultation. It is your responsibility to schedule at least one, one-hour workshop with the Writing Fellow most weeks throughout the semester. It is also your responsibility to keep your scheduled appointment. If you are unable to attend your scheduled workshop, please notify the Writing Fellow as soon as possible so she may make the best use of her time. She will reschedule as her availability allows but there is no guarantee that she will be able to reschedule if you miss your scheduled consultation. Grading: Your Writing Fellow is in no way responsible for your grade. She will not grade work that you complete, nor will she predict grades for you. Instead, she will help you understand the criteria for grading and look for areas where you can improve. Additionally, you alone are responsible for the quality of your work and the choices you make in your writing. The Writing Fellow will provide you with a Record of Consultation each time that you meet. Some of these you will turn in with certain assignments as directed. Be sure to keep all Records of Consultation together in a folder as they are returned, as you will need to turn these in periodically throughout the semester. You must have a record of a minimum of ten consultations in order to pass the course. Other Class Policies:

Come to class prepared and ready to work. Purchase all required texts and materials for this course and bring them to each

class. If you must be absent, notify me via email and check Blackboard to get the

assignments for the next class. If you have questions or concerns about the class or assignments please stop by

after class or make an appointment to meet with me. You may also e-mail or phone me during my office hours.

In a successful learning environment everyone is respectful of and courteous toward each other. Active listening is the key to respect and that generally means one person talking at a time. Please give your full attention to the person speaking.

Please turn off cell phones before class begins. Please note that multi-page assignments will not be accepted unless they are

secured with a staple or paper clip.

Email Policy: All communication in this course will be sent via EKU email or posted on Blackboard. Therefore, you must regularly check your EKU email and Bb account. Make-Up Policy: Make-up work will be accepted at the instructor’s discretion. Much in-class work cannot be made up. If you miss class it is your responsibility to find out what you missed before the next class meeting and to come to that class prepared. Assignments turned in past the due date will have points deducted from the grade. Academic Integrity: Students are advised that EKU’s Academic Integrity policy will strictly be enforced in this course. The Academic Integrity policy is available at http://studentrights.eku.edu/academic-integrity. Questions regarding the policy may be directed to the Office of Academic Integrity. Attendance Policy: Students are expected to attend class and actively participate in all aspects of the learning process. This includes class discussions, written work, and in-class activities. National and local studies have shown a direct correlation between attendance and grade performance. Therefore, attendance is mandatory. Students who miss more than 10% of the regularly scheduled class meetings due to unexcused absences are subject to failing the course. Students enrolled in a MWF section may not exceed 5 unexcused absences for the semester. For the purposes of this course, "excused absences" include verifiable medical or family emergencies, university approved activities (accompanied by a university excuse), illness (yours or a family member’s), and other absences as outlined in the University’s “Student Absence from Class” policy (http://policies.eku.edu/sites/policies.eku.edu/files/policies/4.1.6_student_absence_adopted_12.1.14.pdf). When requesting that an absence be excused, students should be prepared to document the reasons for the absence. Students whose absences are not excused will not normally be allowed to make up tests, quizzes, and/or assignments. Students who anticipate having a high number of excused absences should contact their instructor as soon as the situation arises so that they can make arrangements for how to handle missed class time. Late arrival or early departures from class that are unexcused will be considered in the tabulation of absences as well. Accommodations for Students with Disabilities: A student with a "disability" may be an individual with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities such as learning, seeing or hearing. Additionally, pregnancy or a related medical condition that causes a similar substantial limitation may also be considered a disability under the ADA. If you are registered with the Office of Services for Individuals with Disabilities, please obtain your accommodation letters from the OSID and present them to the course instructor to discuss any academic accommodations you need. If you believe you need accommodation and are not registered with the OSID, please contact the office in the Whitlock Building Room 361 by email at [email protected] or by telephone at (859) 622-2933. Upon individual request, this syllabus can be made available in an alternative format.

(1.) Change credit hours from 3 credit hours to 4 credit hours.

(2.) Change the prerequisite ACT score requirement from “ACT score of 17 on both English and Reading” to “ACT scores of 17 in English and 17-19 in Reading. “Students with an English ACT score of 18 or higher will be placed in ENG 101R if their ACT Reading score is 15-19.”

(3.) Allow students to re-take the course if they fail the first time.


Fall 2016


N/A



(1.) We have offered ENG 101R for the past two years as a pilot, 3 credit hour course that required an extra hour of instruction with the instructor of record as well as an additional hour of tutoring through the Writing Fellows program.

We want to add the one credit hour of instruction so that students are paying tuition for that credit hour (and compensating the university for that instructional time) and so that it appears on their schedules. This will make scheduling their other classes easier, and will also allow them to reach full time enrollment status more easily.

Formerly, students with an ACT 18 or 19 on Reading were placed in ENR 116 (a one credit hour course). Now these students will be placed in ENG 101R because it will address their reading and writing skills requirements in a more effective, integrated, and supported manner.

(2.) Since fall 2013, the Department of English and Theatre has piloted ENG101R, an adaptation of our first semester writing course ENG 101, Reading, Writing and Rhetoric. ENG 101R integrates course content from ENR 095 and ENG 095 with ENG 101 and provides extra instruction and support to students with developmental requirements. We have determined that this course will also better serve the needs of those students who were formerly placed in ENR 116.

As part of a larger revision to Developmental Reading, we will no longer offer ENR 095 as a stand-alone course and will expand the pool of students eligible to take ENG 101R. Formerly, students with an ACT of 15 or 16 in Reading were placed in ENR 095. Now, if students meet the English benchmark of ACT 18 but have an ACT of 15 or 16 in Reading, they will be placed in ENG 101R.

(3.) Allowing students to re-take the course if they fail the first time will help them to succeed more quickly and move on, rather than having to go backwards to non-credit bearing developmental work, as in the initial pilot offering of this course. In addition, ENG 095 no longer exists.


Personnel Impact: None.


ENG 101R also requires that students meet 1 hour per week outside of class time with a Writing Fellow. Funding will have to be secured for continuing this type of Supplemental Instruction. Currently, Writing Fellows salaries are $1856.00 per Writing Fellow, per semester, at 15 hours per week.

Equipment/Physical Facility Needs: None.

Create new course: ENG 110: Introduction to Literature, and to make the course part of Gen. Ed. E-3B (AH).


Fall 2016



This course fills a need for a 100-level course focused on the reading of literature. It offers students an opportunity to learn basic strategies for reading complex literary texts, which will serve them well in later courses in all disciplines. At present, students interested in reading literature in an ENG course must first pass both ENG 101 and ENG 102. This course will be open to first-year students and will, therefore, give more students a chance to improve their creative and critical thinking skills through an experience with literature. Several studies have recently shown that students who develop a habit of reading fiction tend to succeed in earning their degrees and then in finding jobs after graduation.


Personnel Impact: Literature Faculty will teach on rotating basis. We have sufficient faculty to teach the course.

GRADING SCALE: 448-500 = A, 398-447 = B, 348-397 = C, 298-347 = D, 297 and below = F

EXAMS will consist of 2 sections: 1) several short-answer items (fill-ins, brief questions, and/or matching items with answer bank) that assess detailed knowledge of the readings and related literary terminology 2) quotation identifications with thematic analysis. I will provide several short quoted passages from works we have read; you will select some passages to identify (by author and work title) and write a paragraph for each passage, explaining its thematic significance to that work. We will practice thematic analysis throughout our discussions of the readings, so be sure to take notes and become comfortable with articulating thematic ideas about the works. READING RESPONSES: Reading Response 1 must be 700-800 words maximum; Reading Response 2, 900-1000 words maximum. Response essays must be in MLA format and written on your choice from a range of topics about the readings that I will provide. I will provide detailed directions and evaluate response essays with a rubric I will share in advance. Response essays must be uploaded through Safe Assignment in Blackboard, in addition to your submitting a hard copy in class, and they will not be graded until they have been thus submitted. PRESENTATIONS: Each student will give an oral presentation in which you teach us about an author and about why he or she is respected as a writer. GROUP PLAY SCENE PERFORMANCE: Dramatic literature is best understood through performance. So, for the latter two plays we will study in this course, you will perform a brief scene for the class. You may form small groups that will sign up for one of the plays, and I will offer a choice of scenes from them. You are responsible for practicing your scene together outside of class before the day you will perform. You will be evaluated for your effort in preparing for the scene (including, ideally, memorization of lines) and for a brief (half-page to one-page) reflection you must submit discussing choices you made in performing your role (e.g., expression, emphasis, body language, and blocking) in relation to that scene’s themes. QUIZZES: Class discussion and activities are not meaningful if students haven’t prepared for class by reading the assigned work beforehand. Therefore, I will give several quizzes (five points each) randomly at the beginning of class to ensure you are reading and/or prepare for discussion. Some of these may be a few short-answer questions, while others might be more of a mini-essay type reading response. CLASS PARTICIPATION: Being engaged in the class and participating in discussions is a required part of this class. On an ongoing basis I will assess the level of your engagement in class and the quality of your contributions to discussions, in accordance with a specific rubric I will share. I am eager to hear your thoughts, ideas, and questions about the works we’ll be studying. This does not mean you need to have all the “answers” about what a work is about. Enthusiasm and insightfulness will be rewarded! STUDENT PROGRESS: A midterm grade will be entered in Banner prior to the midpoint based on your first essay and midterm exam grades.

ATTENDANCE POLICY: Failure is mandatory for students who are absent from more than 10% of regularly scheduled class meetings: for this MWF class, that is 5 five meetings. The 10% absences are provided in case they are needed for emergencies or for participation in university-sponsored activities. Emergencies are defined as circumstances beyond the student’s control, such as personal illness or critical illness or death in the immediate family. The 10% absences are NOT free “skips.” Students who use the absences for skips and then do not have them available to cover emergencies should not expect to be allowed to go over the 10% limit. You will sign an attendance sheet circulated at the beginning of each class. If you miss class, it is up to you to get notes of the discussion from a classmate and find out if there were announcements or handouts. Contact me if you have questions. MAKE-UP /DUE-DATE POLICY: Note exam and essay due dates carefully. The only circumstance in which I will allow an exam make-up is in the case of a serious health or family emergency (you must provide a copy of appropriate documentation for me to keep). A make-up must occur within one week of the exam, and it is your responsibility to arrange a make-up time. The same policy applies to a missed quiz, but you may have three days to make it up. After these limits expire, a grade of “O” will be entered in the grade book. I reserve the right not to accept papers turned in late. If you are absent due to real illness or a family emergency on the date a paper is due, if you contact me via email at the time and can provide documentation for the reason, I may grant an extension. CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS: Be on time for class (otherwise you’ll miss quizzes) and alert. I may lecture briefly a couple of times, but the majority of the class will be guided discussion, often in a large group but sometimes in small groups. Out of respect for your classmates and the discussion, cell phones must be turned off and out of sight during class. Texting during class will cause you to receive a zero grade for class participation. *****Succeeding in this course: Your best strategy is simple. READ the assigned material for each class carefully and actively, noting significant passages or writing comments or questions in the margins. Second, PARTICIPATE: always come to class with something to say (a comment, a question, a reaction that you can back up) about the work for that day, and be ready to be engaged in discussion and take some notes. LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW FROM THE COURSE:

The last day to drop this course is January 25. The deadline to withdraw from the course without a $50/credit hour fee is February 15; with a fee, April 12. For additional information, consult the Colonel's Compass: http://www.eku.edu/compass.

Fall 2016



In a recent survey of departments who require STA 270 for their programs, several departments have indicated that it would be beneficial to their students if they also learned two-sample inference procedures for means and proportions as well as some other statistical techniques. We believe that students who take this revised four-hour course will have a much stronger background in statistical inference. Another reason for this change is to allow us to cover enough material in STA 270 in one semester for students to be properly prepared to take higher level statistics courses. This will be advantageous to students who decide to major or minor in statistics. We have considered adding STA 320 as a prerequisite to other higher level statistics courses, but this potential change might delay graduation for some students since many of our students do not declare majors or minors in statistics until their sophomore or junior year. The name change is necessary because Applied Statistics II (STA 320) is being dropped.



Operating Expenses Impact: None.

Course Revision (Parts II, IV) *Course Prefix & Number PHY 456

Hybrid Course (“S,” “W”) *Course Title Statistical and Thermal Physics











Create a physics course for statistical mechanics and thermal physics at the advanced undergraduate level.


Fall 2016



We find that physics majors need a deeper, more microscopic approach to thermodynamics (that is, statistical mechanics) than the Engineering Thermodynamics can provide. Our former students report that such a course course will help them be competitive in applying to graduate schools and will help prepare them for the Physics GRE. We noted when making our curriculum maps that we did not address these topics properly in any of our existing courses; this is an effort to strengthen our curriculum.


Personnel Impact: We expect to be able to teach this additional course with our existing faculty members. We will offer PHY 375 less frequently – likely, once a year (down from twice), and we will offer PHY 456 once a year as well.

New Minor (Part III) *Program Title Bachelor of Science in Physics










(1) Add PHY 211 as a required core course for all physics majors, (2) allow engineering physics majors to earn credit toward completion of their program for PHY 411 or PHY 412, (3) remove EET 305 as an option for engineering physics majors, and (4) adjust hours as necessary.


Fall 2016



We added PHY 211 and PHY 456 to the curriculum. PHY 211 is a “stepping stone” course that should be taken by all physics majors. Also, since we added PHY 412 (an intensive research experience course), we wanted to ensure engineering physics majors would be able to take that course as an option so we added that to the list of options for that major. We are also adding PHY 411 (special topics in physics) as an option; adding that course was apparently overlooked when it was added to the Physics Curriculum. We also wish to remove EET 305, since that course is no longer offered.

Official E-mail: An official EKU e-mail is established for each registered student, each faculty member, and each staff member. All university communications sent via e-mail will be sent to this EKU e-mail address. Attendance Policy. Students should make every effort to attend every class meeting. In the case of an excused absence with proper documentation, extended deadlines or alternate activities will be provided for any graded activities. However, these accommodations do not always provide equivalent learning opportunities. An acceptable excuse is a doctor’s excuse, a university excuse, or a catastrophic emergency resulting in unavoidable absence. Arrangements to complete alternate activities, such as another version of an exam, must be made within one week of returning to class; otherwise, a zero will be recorded. Course Requirements: Assignments: Assignments may vary depending on the weekly topic. Assignments will include answering questions related to assigned readings, creating discussion questions related to weekly topics and answering discussion questions, as well as researching related resources (e.g., legal cases, articles) that contribute to weekly topics. Work assigned will be posted on blackboard or handed out in class at least one week prior to the designated due date; work is due at the beginning of class and may be handed in through email or hard copy. Late work will not be accepted without proper documentation (see attendance policy).


Behavior Change Project: Students will design, measure, and implement a behavioral intervention using single-subject design. Papers should be written in APA 6th edition formatting and include a literature review, method, results, discussion, references, and tables/graphs (as necessary). Subjects may be human or animal and may include yourself. Exams: Exams will consist of content reviewed up the point of administration. Exams will consist of multiple choice and essay questions covering hypothetical ethical dilemmas, appropriate application of behavior change systems, implementation and management considerations, and special topics in ABA. Students will analyze each scenario and identify ethical issues (citing BACB guidelines) and possible solutions, as well as answer questions related to disciplinary/legal action.
