CurCom Phase 2.2

1. CurComPhase 2.2

2. Phase 2.2 • Objectives: • Up or down vote on Emphases (in the abstract) • Vote to affirm the Core/Foundation structure • Reminder • We have to present a full package to the faculty • Votes today are intended to help guide the CurCom

3. Phase 2.2 • Emphases • Purpose • Clarity in what we do – communicating to: • World at large • Administration • Students and parents • Students • Informed choice • Following a more coherent path

4. Phase 2.2 • Emphases • What are they … (names will come later) • Production • Animation • Screenwriting • Studies • Flexibility • Up to 12 units outside the major • Units outside the student’s emphasis

5. Phase 2.2 • Emphases • Anticipated issues • Quelling the (supposedly predicted) student revolution • More than what students get now • CINE202/04 Introduction to Production • With a hands-on component • Dedicated sections (CINE204) • Revisions to Studies curriculum: • Incorporating more digital exercises, etc. • Building in the requirement that students take courses outside their emphasis

6. Phase 2.2 • Emphases • Discussion • Motion: • By recommendation of the CurCom we encourage that the faculty affirm the general principle of Emphases – understanding that significant details remain to be addressed. • Vote • Simply voting for the general principle of Emphases • “Green-light” to move forward with this … • Or, give us the “red-light” (and buy us a round of drinks, and we’ll call it a day … )

7. Phase 2.2 • Emphases • Crafting the Emphases • Scott and Weimin: Production Emphasis Sub-Committee • Jennifer: Screenwriting Emphasis Sub-Committee • Aaron: Animation Emphasis Sub-Committee • Jennifer and Aaron: Studies Emphasis Sub-Committee

8. Phase 2.2 • Core/Foundation • General idea of the 3-Year Program • Beginning, intermediate, advanced • Core/Foundation • The beginning • Introduction to the basic principles • No major changes to existing structure • Changes • Moved most of the courses into lower-division (Sophomore year) • Consolidation of GWAR (changing CINE353 into a GWAR course) • Counting lower-division units towards the major (alleviating pressure up the line)

9. Phase 2.2 • Core/Foundation (21 units – including the possible one unit course) • Sophomore Year Core Courses: • CINE200 (3 units) • CINE202/04 (4 units) • INTRODUCTION TO PRODUCTION W/ HANDS ON COMPONENT • CINE211 History I (3 units) • CINE212 History II (3 units) • Articulation issues: • Solves the problem of transfer students paying twice • TMC/SB1440 • CINE3XX – One Unit Advising Module (?) • Junior Year Foundation Courses: • GWAR (3 units) – either CINE353 or CINE303 • CINE340/41 – (4 units)

10. Phase 2.2 Core/Foundation Model based on a standard student’s trajectory

11. Phase 2.2 • Core/Foundation • Anticipated issues • Volume of courses • Critical to the beginning, intermediate, advanced progression • These are not separate from the individual Emphases • Pushed back to the Sophomore level • i.e., most of the Junior/Senior level is dedicated to more specialized work in Emphases • “Articulate-able” • Transfer students can hit the ground running • Reduces pressure on the history courses

12. Phase 2.2 • Core/Foundation • Discussion • Motion: • The CurCom recommends that the faculty affirm the revisions to the Core/Foundation of the Undergraduate curriculum. • Vote • Affirming the Core/Foundation structure • Yes or no
