RATIONALE:
I. Under the current system, applied lessons still must be scheduled manually. Students are required to complete a course add form, submit it to the administrative assistant, who in turn sends the completed forms to the registrar. The above changes will enable the Registrar to bring the registration procedure for applied lessons in line with current college procedures.
II. There is frequent confusion during registration with the current applied lesson numbering system. As a result, students register for incorrect course numbers and/or credits. Revising the course prefixes and titles will clarify the applied course sequence.
III. Additionally, there are also frequent errors made when listing applied lessons on student transcripts causing undue stress and extra work for students and advisors. Revising the course prefixes and title will clarify the application of the course sequence on transcripts.
RATIONALE:
The reorganization of our applied music numbering system is brought about by the online registration of courses at KSC. The Music Department currently registers students for their applied music lessons manually, not via online registration. The Department met with the Registrar’s Office in Spring 2008 to determine the best approach to move registration of applied music online. After discussions about the varied nuances of applied music and their relationship to degree requirements at KSC, we moved to clarify the system by putting more detail into the titling and numbering of the applied music sequence. Although confusing at first glance, the system will better identify the correct applied music courses that students are to take in fulfilling their degree requirements.

RATIONALE:
Keene State College has supported an interdisciplinary minor in Holocaust Studies since 2002-03. During the past three years, faculty members engaged in that program have evolved an expanded academic option that combines genocide studies with an undergraduate major. As a separate document, that proposed new program is being evaluated concurrently with this redesign of the minor. Given the new Holocaust- and genocide-related courses planned for the new baccalaureate program, it is only proper to expand and redefine the options open to students wishing to pursue no more than a minor in Holocaust and Genocide Studies.
(see attachment for more explanation)
RATIONALE:
The course prefix is being changed to fit the new Holocaust and Genocide Studies program. In addition, it is essential that that students majoring in Holocaust and Genocide Studies are given the opportunity to grapple individually with the complexities associated with this field.
RATIONALE:
An Internship provides an opportunity for a highly motivated and talented student to cooperatively engage with a Holocaust or genocide-related institution to the mutual benefit of both the student and the institution. The resulting product, which should remain open and loosely defined, may be the development of a specialized survivor database, the creation of a new curriculum, or the organization of a document collection.
RATIONALE:
The course prefix is being changed to fit the new Holocaust and Genocide Studies program. In addition, it is essential that students majoring in Holocaust and Genocide Studies are required to grapple individually with the complexities associated with this field. The seminar will provide the opportunity for group examination and discussion of such complexities. It will challenge both students’ knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust and the broader field of genocide, requiring them to develop their ideas through written and oral presentation.
RATIONALE:
HGS 490, Advanced Special Topics, will allow faculty instructing courses in the Holocaust and Genocide Studies program the opportunity to test and develop new upper-division courses that may eventually become a standard component of the program.
