Professor Segal called the meeting to order at 9:30. The minutes of the meeting of January 26 were approved as distributed. The committee approved a prerequisite change for POLS 392. Professor Hawkesworth and the committee discussed the Political Science Department's reasons for recommending its policy on credit for the Advanced Placement examination. Following considerable discussion, the committee approved the department's proposal, although it would have favored granting credit for the examination without attaching conditions to it. Effective Fall 1998, students entering UofL who have earned a score of 4 or higher on the AP exams in either American Politics or Comparative Politics and who successfully complete POLS 299: Honors Introduction to Political Science will be awarded 3 credit hours in Political Science (in addition to the credit earned for POLS 299). The hours may count as elective credit toward a major in political science. Students must complete POLS 299 to receive credit for the AP examination. The committee discussed course proposals from the Theatre Arts Department and the Justice Administration Department, but deferred action until representatives of the departments could be present to answer questions. The committee discussed several issues relating to the assigning of incompletes. The meeting adjourned at 10:50. [2/2/98]
