Fulton Curriculum Reform

WELCOME TO THE FULTON SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM REFORM WEBSITE

The purpose of this site is to serve as a home base and resource for all things related to the Fulton Curriculum Reform initiative, particularly for Fulton faculty as they enhance their courses within the reformed curriculum and, beginning Fall 2008, as all Fulton faculty begin to offer those courses, most of them for the first time.

As of Friday, August 22, 2008, this site contains the items listed below (which also appear under "Resources," to the left).  Between now and the beginning of classes (on September 2), however, the main focus of this site will shift to the front-burner reform issues associated with the coming year, such as delivery of the reformed curriculum, enhanced course evaluation and program assessment, and ongoing course and faculty development (including how we might take fuller advantage of the Course Enhancement Menu and of the reform in general).  This said, though, since we will continue to provide FCC/UCC with enhanced syllabus packets, as course cycles continue to roll out over the next couple of years, this site will also always contain the following:

*Basic documents concerning the Fulton Reform, including:

  • the March 2007 Fulton Reform proposal

  • A brief summary sheet regarding the Reform, including the Reform's effect on SU's General Education model

  • the Fulton Curriculum Reform Enhancement Menu and COMAR regulations

  • the Fulton Reform Syllabus Cover Sheet (also available via its own link)

*The Fulton Curriculum Reform Resource Binder. This is an online PDF version of the binder distributed to faculty at the August 2007 Fulton Curriculum Reform Workshops.  The binder is not a manual, but a resource book to which other items will be added. 

*23 "Frequently Asked Questions," listed under "FAQ."

*Sample syllabus cover sheets and enhanced syllabi from colleagues across Fulton, listed as "Sample Syllabi" under "Resources" to the left. 

*The Fulton Reform Syllabus Cover Sheet.  This document is also available within the "Documents" item listed to the left as well, but it is also provided here under its own title with one-click access for greater convenience to Fulton faculty. 

*The Fulton Reform Universal Syllabus Statement.  This statement, or one similar to it, must appear on all Fulton enhanced syllabi.  

To access the information we are currently providing to students regarding the Reform via their own website, please click here.  This site will be updated later this summer.  It should also be noted that information concerning the reform has already been shared this summer with incoming freshmen and transfer students, and a campaign aimed at continuing to communicate information about the reform to new students--and to all students--will begin on multiple fronts just before the new academic year starts and will continue into the fall and beyond.
