It is proposed that the Senate appoint a committee to be known as the Instructional Policy Committee, with the charge of recommending policy on such matters as:
- The number of class contact hours of lecture, recitation, or laboratory expected for one hour of credit.
- Frequency and duration of examinations during a term.
- Guidelines for amount of material to be covered in a course in a term. It is obviously impossible to cover in four years all the material a student will need for the rest of his life; yet there is a tendency to drag students gasping through a maze of new and important developments. Some guidelines from the Senate suggesting thorough treatment of well selected fundamental topics should assist the departments and instructors in planning their courses.
- Any other similar items
